It says in the info that it is indeed a #2 pencil. I highly recommend these bad boys. Right out of the box these boys are ready to destroy anything you throw at them. In fact these pencils have increased my popularity, my teachers decide not to give me homework anymore and I don't have to do anything for these pencils do it all for me. Love em

While this pencils are not classified as soft pencils on the box, they do give nice dark lines and marks. They are Hard Black #2 that could be classified as soft pencils because they a give dark image rather than a light image. They are perfect for scan tons and all other applications. They are easy to sharpen, and are very strong. Note: the higher the # the harder the pencil. These pencils are only a #2 hardness.

They are similar to thin crayolas like the other person mentioned. If you're looking for more of a pen tip style look at the frixion pencil like pens.

They're not marked as #2, though they're probably between a two and a four. They'll work fine for a test, and if your son likes to draw, they're wonderful to use.

Besides being soft and easy to blend, the PREMIER pencils have way more pigment color per pencil than the Scholar pencils do. Check out the virtual instructor for more info on them, and to see them in action. I love mine, they blend really great! Hope this helps.

You can change it to indicate the hardness of the lead in the pencil. I like to have 2B in pencils I write with. HB is pretty standard, bit a little too hard for my liking.

I think they would be, although I'm not familiar with the books you're talking about. They are more expensive than, for instance, Crayola pencils, so you might keep that in mind too.

No. Theyre actually pretty soft and as long as you keep them in good shape they are nice and smooth. Read their instructions that come in the package! Very helpful

Yes. They are longer than a typical crayon but shorter than a standard #2 pencil.

It has 3B lead which is darker and softer than most #2 pencils... the darker the better so yes it WILL work

The original pencils are Blackwing 602, they are a dark green color. Then there are new versions with a slightly softer lead called Palamino Blackwing pencils which come in Black or in White. They are very good pencils. Be sure to read the description to get the color you want.

I think they should be called soft. That's what they are labeled and what I always use. Don't detect that they are any different than what I always use. Had a little problem with the first one I used. Some bristles came loose after a few brushings but, so far, that hasn't continued as a problem.

I cannot compare them to Crayola, as I have not used Crayola. I have had some breakage when sharpening the Prismacolors, which I have kept to a minimum by using the Prismacolor sharpener. The softness, BTW, is necessary for smooth application of color, so I think we are stuck with some breakage. I hope this helps. - PF

I wish I could help you, but I purchased the pencils as a gift for my children in college. They like them.

Sorry, I've never used either of those others. Blackwing is a soft black pencil.

No, these are just refills, but great ones. I purchased them after I exhausted the two that come with the pencil from Radio Shack Catalog#276-039.Though it is not an exact fit (somewhat loose) just put a small piece of tissue to seat it firmly in the holder and you will be just fine.I use it for cleaning HO, N and Z scale locomotive wheels and tracks (switch frogs) and they do a great job. Great product, made in Germany, so I definitely recommend it.
