If you're looking at this product you probably already know that a 2B pencil is far better for taking general notes or annotating a piece of sheet music then those awful hard, pale HB ones that everyone uses. They make a clear dark mark without too much pressure and are much smoother to write with and better for the environment than disposable ballpoints. I've searched everywhere for a box of 2Bs and am so glad I finally found these - and at the same price as most shops would charge for one pencil. They survived the journey fine - no breakages, and when I sharpen them the wood isn't brittle. Now all I want is some little rubbers to fit on the ends...

Staedtler should definitely not have labelled these pencils as 2B pencils --- they are more like HB pencils. Though the leads are indeed soft, they are simply too light for shading and I would not recommend them for artists. They're also greasy and easy to smudge --- i.e. they have the downsides of a 2B, but without actually being useful for shading. However, though I cannot recommend them for art, they're OK for writing, and feel a bit smoother than a typical pencil. I bought twenty of them and was disappointed to find that they were no darker than the twenty HB pencils I already had. Had I known this, then I'd not have bought them.

I use my pencils for my job as a floor layer and thought I’d order some 2B pencils from this retailer. The pencils arrived promptly but after using the pencils I soon realised that all the leads were broken internally!

Great quality pencils, beautifully soft 2B, so easy to rub out. Ideal for marking directions on music.

Soft pencils (2b) were required for nautical navigation charts so the lines and markings can easily be erased. These were perfect, I will be purchasing more of varying harness.
