In the United States, we refer to them as #2 pencils. The rest of the world calls them “HB” pencils.

For example:

(US) to (World)

# 1 = B

# 2 = HB

# 3 = H

# 4 = 2H

There is no difference.

I doubt that there is much if any difference.

A #2 is pretty close to HB in hardness and the designation 2HB may even indicate that the manufacturer considers them to be the same

no clue.

but from what i have found i think the 2Hb pencil is made more for drawing.

not for sure though.
