Homeschool Mom sanity saver

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try a new type of pencil that promised not to break as much. As a homeschool mom of many, my kids were constantly breaking the lead on the pencils. It was annoying, and wasting time... The leads on other pencils are much thinner, these pencils have a noticeably thicker lead that writes very smooth. The lead also writes dark, a plus for writing on notebooks. I also really like that the eraser erases without tearing a page and is smudge free. I will be re-buying this pencil for our family!

Bic velocity mechanical pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start by saying I was given a chance to try Bic velocity mechanical pencils for free through bzzagent. I have 6 children between 6 and 10 years of age, all of whom love to draw. I gave each of them one because they love to draw. In the past, I have steered clear of mechanical pencils because they tend to be difficult for little ones to use. However, o was pleasantly surprised when even my 2 year old was able to use it without breaking the lead every five seconds. All of the kids also love the colors as well. I used one of these pencils myself and I was impressed with how smoothly it writes, as well as the strength of the lead. Overall I was very impressed with Bic velocity mechanical pencils, and fill intent to purchase them in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 3 school-aged children in my house and they were all excited to try these mechanical pencils. I was very happy with the quality of the lead and how they wrote on paper. The lead didn't break, and didn't squeak like some. Kids loved the look of them and my 9 and 11-year-olds liked the thickness of the lead. My teenager would have liked if the lead was .5 instead of .7. Overall, great quality and would suggest to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These brightly fun colored mechanical pencils aren't like the rest! It writes so smoothly, and darker than any other I have used. The eraser works so well that one swipe will get the job done. The only downfall (earning this product 4 stars instead of 5) is that the lead gets jammed and will not come out so easily at times.

Amazing to write or doodle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I they the colorful barrels and the smooth lead has made writing much easier and flowing for the whole family. Everyone loves writing with these mechanical pencils sometimes it doesn't feel like I'm using a mechanical pencil. The fluidity that it allows you to write smoothly or if you're doodling is pretty amazing. My little sister loves writing with these pencils and the erase quality of great leave a clean foundation to proceed with writing again if you make a mistake. I think there are overall great quality and the best mechanical pencils I've tried in quite a while. Feels great in you hand and writes smoothly and just overall great what's not to like.
