I've never heard of an 'HB #2' pencil. I'm saying that no one makes them! But this is what I know about pencils. 'H' pencils are typically used for graphic drawings. The lead is harder and the lines tend to be lighter and thinner. The lead is less prone to smearing. The higher the number, the lighter and harder the lead. Then we have the 'B' pencils. The lead is softer, darker, the lines tend to be thicker. As the number gets higher, these qualities increase. A 6B pencil gives a very dark, thick line. These pencils are used more commonly for sketching in the typical 'drawing', like an artist's picture. These leads smear on paper easily! As an architectural student, I'm required to use an 'HB' pencil. This is just a blend of H and B leads. It still has an annoying habit of smearing on vellum! I usually stick to H2 pencils and higher whenever possible to keep my work clean!
I don't quite understand what you mean by HB-2 pencil but if you mean HB pencil / #2 Pencil it is not the softest pencil. Pencils scale from 9H to 9B, (HB in the middle) and 9B would the softest and darkest pencil there.
Um....The answer which it is.
Pencils are made in various lengths. My HB pencil measures 7 inches.
i think it's HB pencil which is hardest one bcoz it is indiacative of its heat,hexagonal shape,measure of softness and wood quality
Many pencils across the world and almost all in Europe are graded on the European system using a continuüm from "H" (for hardness) to "B" (for blackness), as well as "F" (for fine point). The standard writing pencil is graded HB.
An HB pencil is just a No. 2 Pencil HB stands for Hard Black

HB 2 pencil has a slightly softer lead than a regular HB pencil, which gives it darker markings. The "2" in HB 2 stands for the American grading system, while the regular HB is based on the European grading system. Both are commonly used for general writing and drawing.

A No.2 pencil, but HB is softer and is used to create dark lines when drawing.
The # is reference to the hardness of lead A number 2 pencil is averagely hard aka HB
Hard Black pencil.
The number two in reference to a pencil denotes the relative hardness of the graphite or "lead" that is in the pencil, HB being softer and three being harder, etc.
you take 2 HB or 2B pencil,rubber and a sharpener
Um....The answer which it is.
Short answer: No. Long answer: Some forms of pencil will become obsolete, such as the #2 HB that has to be sharpened. People will just switch to #2 HB leads in mechanical pencils.
No on a pencil stands for Number. It is a measure of hardness, similar to the HB scale.
