I'm new to welding but I'm very picky about writing instruments. For woodworking, plain old American #2 pencils do the job just fine, but as I started researching the various options, soapstones seem to pop up everywhere until someone mentions these pencils. I liked the results and bought it straight away and still have no regrets. The label backing is softer; soft enough to leave marks on the skin, which I haven't tried yet. So with that in mind, you'll need to sharpen it often, but a small hand sharpener should help. As for the markings, it does a good job on the various surfaces I've tested so far. From marking painted metal for cutting to marking bare steel surfaces, it gets the job done. You can easily delete the markers, which may or may not be a good thing. For a hard surface I would use it, but I don't recommend marking soft material like wood as a rough or porous surface will quickly wear out the tip. Something like a paint market, but much narrower. Overall I'm happy with the purchase and will probably buy them again when the box of 12 is gone.
