[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a child I never liked mechanical pencils because the lead was so weak when I would press down to write it would always break. With the bic velocity the lead is strong and have not broken one time since I started using it. When I used the eraser it cleaned off all the lead. There were no messy streaks left on the paper. The pencil is so comfortable to hold and the nice bright , fun colors are great for children.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They are awesome. My 12 yr old loves this pencils. He always prefers mechanical pencils and when he started school he took some with him and his handwriting isn't quite as bad. I recommended this to everyone I seen with school kids also gave some out and some coupons with them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils truly did amaze me!! They writing is thicker and darker so I can actually read what I and my children wrote. And they do not tear my papers like most mechanical pencils do. My children have borrowed" all of mine so that they have a color for every day of school. Off to get more for me!"

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love everything about these pencils. They are comfortable in my hand. They don't make my fingers hurt when I write with these pencils, like other pencils I've used in the past did.

Love These Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a nursing student I use pencils often for tests and projects and note taking. These pencils are the absolute best! I had purchased some time ago, a big economy size lot of mechanical pencils I could use for school and they drove me nuts! The lead was so thin and weak, they were constantly breaking, and they erased so poorly by just smudging the lead around. These pencils are the opposite. The lead is super strong. I like a nice pointy edge and these pencils hold up great even during long hours of test taking and filling in bubble sheets. they erase great too. And the colors just make me happy! I will definitely purchase these pencils again in the future!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bic Velocity mechanical pencils are a great addition to our school supply collection. They have #2 lead, and the lead is very strong. The kids love the different colors they offer as well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils write nicely, erase clean, and my daughter prefers them to traditional yellow pencils. I like that they come with extra erasers also because those always seem to be empty way before the lead runs out!

Perfect back to school.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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. 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 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/. What a Amazing Mechanical Pencil from Bic! I was really amazed how well my daughter and I liked these mechanical pencils. She liked that they are darker than a pencil and that it is refillable when she breaks the lead. I like the grip of the rubber holder, it makes my hands feel good and not so tired as I write up charts and allot of them. The colors are easy to spot and find in my purse and my daughter said her backpack, that is a plus since kids lose so many regular pencils. I like that I don't have to buy her a sharpener for her pencil box and she loses allot of those too, it is nice it has a refill in the package with lead and it stores it inside the pencil so when you run out it is there for you to refill. I will say these are the best things that Bic has brought out this year, we will be using these instead of regular pencils.
