[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter has always loved to write with mechanical pencils and these are now her favorites! She writes kinda heavy handed and the leads never break!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've put off writing this review until school started and my son had the chance to really put them to use. He loves them! And so do I! They feel super comfortable in your hand and they write so smooth! A little backstory on why this is a big deal for us: My 13 year old son broke his arm & wrist almost 2 years ago. He aquired instant nerve damage to his Medial Nerve due to the break right above his elbow. He wasn't able to move his fingers for over a year. Now that he can move his fingers, he has a hard time writing and finding pencils that he can grip comfortably in order to write/draw. BIC Velocity mechanical pencils have been a blessing for him. Not only can he grip/hold them comfortably, they also don't make his damaged nerve go into a frenzy & cause him a lot of pain!!! The ONLY thing I think would make them better is if they didn't have the little cap for the eraser. Truthfully, they don't get put back on and/or you lose them fairly quickly. But overall, we give these mechanical pencils 5 stars!! I will definitely be buying these mechanical pencils from now on!!! ??????

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, my son has been in school for 3 weeks now and has had a chance to really use the BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils and he and I cannot rave about these mechanical pencils enough! He can only use his mechanical pencils in math class, but he loves these pencils! He said they write really well and the eraser erases better than the erasers on regular pencils. He said the lead doesn't break like the other mechanical pencils he has used before. I think it is awesome this pack of mechanical pencils came with extra lead and erasers...such a great deal! My son does some sketching at home in his spare time and he has used these mechanical pencils to do some sketching. He really likes these mechanical pencils for that too. He said the grip feels comfortable. So, these BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils are a hit all around for us. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to test out these BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils, Bzzagent! They have really come in handy and are very useful. I highly recommend them and would definitely buy these. #BICVelocity #BzzAgent #GotItFree #MechanicalPencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like to use pencils to write down grades in my gradebook before I put them in online. These pencils are amazing! The lead didn't break as easily as other brands I noticed. I writes great and my kids love them for school!

5 star review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually stick to the packs of BIC pencils that have 24 cheap pencils in them, but I am so glad I bought these! I was actually a little apprehensive when I first ordered them - I only bought them because a friend loaned me his and I lost the pencil cap and I felt soooo bad I just had to replace his. But, they have become my favorite lead based writing utensil! Anyway, personally I think these pencils are great. They write very smoothly. I haven't had an issue with putting too much pressure and having the lead snap. My friend who actually has this issue with a lot of pencils doesn't have it with these either. The erasers on these pencils are pretty nice too. They don't seem to disintegrate into tiny specks like ones on cheaper mechanical pencils. They also don't make that horrible 'noise' that the pink erasers do either, which is great. One thing I do dislike about these though is that they get used up pretty quickly. I've been mainly only using the pink pencil and eraser is about halfway gone already and it's only been about 3 weeks since I got these. It's a little disappointing, but the pack does come with extra erasers. I'd definitely recommend getting a separate eraser though, like one of the the big rectangle ones. Speaking of erasers, one thing I don't understand is the caps. The erasers have caps on them. ...Why? The whole cap thing is why I had to get these in the first place. I think they're supposed to prevent having the lead get pushed out accidentally while you have the pencils in your bag or a case or something. However, upon trying out these pencils for the first time, I immediately lost two of the caps. They're clear so they are very difficult to find if you misplace them. Be careful. These pencils seem to be pretty durable. I've had one of mine roll of my desk and get kicked across the classroom several times and stepped on once and it hasn't cracked or anything. These might actually be suitable for children and clumsy people like myself. The design of these is just great too in my opinion. The look is very sleek and the colors are so attractive. My favorites are the pink and orange. I honestly don't see too many orange mechanical pencils. The yellow is great too. It actually looks even brighter and more neon in person than in the photo. The blue one is just blue - there's nothing much to say about it. They all look pretty nice. I may even go so far as to say they look /sharp/. Because they're pencils. Do you get my joke? Overall, I definitely think these are worth the price. They'll last you a long time and save you money in the long run if you are like me and used to keep buying the huge packs cheaper pencils every few months

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think its a great mechanical pencil. The led does not break easily at all. Still using the same one with out the refill. I love the comfort grip on it. The eraser does not erase well, it leaves streaks of pencil on the paper. Other than that its a great mechanical pencil.
