What is the difference between these pencils and Prang 48 count?

I happen to enjoy all the Prang pencils. I think the difference with the larger amount would be that you get more colors. The more the better. The price is good also.

It is a standard 2/HB pencil. To make a pencil mark stand out more easily using the same pressure you would need a softer pencil lead (2B, 4B, 6B) which will also smudge more, or paper that's less shiny. Anything that gave you a dark line without smudging and without bearing down harder would also probably be very difficult to erase, like a crayon. If that's not an issue to you there are many pencils with dark, waxy centers, not all with thick leads. They can be great for drawing. Don't know how they'd be for extensive writing. This is the best standard writing pencil I have ever used. You can get a smooth line with light pressure, or you can bear down without snapping the lead, which is always perfectly centered in the wood. The erasers work great. I will happily use the yellow Ticonderogas, but if I'm spending my own money these are what I always get.

I don't believe it is. I think the difference is more in the harness of the lead than the size of the tip, but I'm not sure on that. This seemed to be a good site for comparison. http://www.jetpens.com/articles/Article:_The_Mechanical_Pencil_Equivalent_of_a_No_2_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.

I'm unfamiliar with the term scantron, but if you mean the standardized testing forms, I can't imagine any reason why the pencil would not work perfectly. 602 does not write quite as darkly as the regular Blackwing, but still much darker than the ubiquitous yellow pencils, even if they claim they contain leads of #1 strength, soft. We've gone through the house and have removed all the yellow pencils in the various locations, replacing them with Blackwings.

In the Amazon description of the Pentel Twist-Erase it says there are "assorted barrels." The barrel is the shaft of the pencil. By "assorted" they mean different colors. The 0.9mm comes only in Black and Dark Blue. Other sizes have other color choices.

You will also need 2mm lead (there are a variety of hardnesses and colors available), a 2mm lead sharpener (lots of different styles, I reccomend the Kum Automatic Long point two stage sharpener - it sharpens 2mm lead and it has a two stage long point sharpener for pencils - excellent points), and you will need an eraser, paper, ruler, and etc. Most importantly you will need creativity and imagination! Have fun. I bought lots of these (different brands and colors) for a wide variety of lead hardnesses. This one feels more solid in comparison to some other brands but I have not yet come across any that are unsatisfactory.

The entire gross of pencils will contain the same imprint. You can imprint each gross differently.

I don't know for certain that they are the same material. They are a lot smaller in length and are made for the Twist-erase pencils.

I have been looking at purchasing either machine myself for the last week (looked at the specs on both, haven't physically looked at either...)and the only difference I can come up with is the THRD looks to be manufactured specifically for Costco/big box stores. The PRW is marketed thru standard sewing machine suppliers. I don't think the THRD comes with the extras you get with the PRW, and it might also have a plastic housing (haven't physically looked at one, but I am corresponding via email with someone who is selling one..she thinks it's plastic). Hope this helps!

Not sure about the numbers but one is the refills & the other were the pens. Hope this helps you. I love the pens .

If she's in high school I would go with the 48 unless she's planning on do something out of class involving art because chances are it's a standard art class which means the 48 should be more than enough. A lot of the shades are very similar so it won't be a noticeable difference.

Dixon Ticonderogas are pretty good. I buy them for my kids. They are the minimum quality pencil I will use if I have a choice. But I always reach for my Generals first and I save them for me since they do cost more and my kids do not appreciate the aesthetic pleasures of writing with a top quality pencil. I say Dixons are fine for the kids, but get Generals for yourself. Especially if you do extensive writing/note taking in pencil. Worth every penny. And General's is not paying me. (But if they're listening I wouldn't turn down a free box thrown my way. Hint.)

0.7mm. I've had Cross pen and pencil sets for over thiry-five years. I like the larger pencil lead size. It doesen't break as easy, or as much, as when the Cross pencils were 0.5mm. jd

I actually own both and I have to say, I like these pens much better for doing quicker, more rough sketches but they do tend to bleed a bit when I color over them with my Copic sketch markers. The Copic Multiliners are wonderful in the sense of having both refillable ink as well as replaceable nibs (tips), however the tips do not feel as durable and strong as the F.C. pens. I'm worried about bending or breaking the tips on them. Another issue is that they have a bit more of a "rough" feeling on paper, whereas the F.C.'s are much smoother and forgiving. I tend to use the Copic pens to finish and do details. FYI : With my Copic pens I use the sizes : 0.005, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7. With the Faber Castell pens I use the S (super fine) and F (fine) sizes. I was mainly referring to the 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 size Copics in my comparison above.

I hadn't noticed,but they are a good set. I've had two sets and bought a set for my granddaughter. I'm not that thrilled with the box, but that wasn't your question. Most colored pencils don't have a 3mm core.

It is just the outside of the pencils that are different colors although you can buy different color leads to go into the mechanical pencils. I saw them recently either on ebay or amazon. Haven't tried them yet.
