Great mechanical pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since middle school I have always had a strong preference for mechanical pencils. I currently have a small collection of mechanical pencils and these are a new favorite. They are very colorful and easy to use. I love that the package includes extra lead and erasers. The grips makes holding the pencil comfortable and with ease. I knocked off a star only because my kids preferred BIC's X-tra Fun Stripes pencils over this variety. Both are great pencils in their own right. I honestly loved both.

Very impressive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this pencils in exchange for my unbiased and truthful review. I must admit, I am not a huge fan of mechanical pencils. For some reason, the lead breaks extremely easily and even plastic parts of the actual pencils are flimsy, even difficult to grasp often times. My kids, however, love mechanical pencils. When these pencils arrived, I opened and decided to write the school supply list out to see how these mechanical devices held up. First, I was very impressed with the actual shape and size of the pencil. It did not feel like cheap plastic, but rather easy to hold on to, and not feel like it would break if held wrong. There are grips on the pencils too, so it wasn't awkward. The colors are fun. So, the real test came when I was about to write. I personally write evenly, not a hard or light presser. The lead was not brittle" but really smooth to write with. I almost would equate this pencil to the smooth regular pencils that everyone pays a fortune for at the store. I usually have problems with the lead constantly breaking little pieces off and me having to add more to the tip. These did not break at a all. For pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were very nice pencils, great colors, my son was very excited to get them in the mail and put them in with his new school stuff, the first day of school we found out he won't be needing pencils so we gave them to a friend of mine with 4 daughters who were all very happy with them too.

Fine writing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use alot of mechanical pencils and I have to say that these are by far some of the best. One of the problems I have is that I am heavy handed and I always seem to break my leads very easy. And I am pretty stubborn, I really hate old fashion pencils. With these ones I was able to write for a longer period of time before they would break, however they did not break very often. I was able to use the lead down to where I would have to give myself more lead. I highly recommend these pencils for school, office or just everyday use. I received to packs plus some coupons and I gave one of the packs to my grand daughter for school. Needless to say she is loving it because grandma never gives up her pencils or pens.

BIC velocity mechanical pencils are the best!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids were so excited to try the BIC velocity mechanical pencils! My daughter and son said they were the best they had ever tried! I love that they come in a pack of different colors to choose from. The grip makes it so much more comfortable to write with and keeps it from slipping out of my hands. The lead is so much better than any other mechanical pencils. It writes so smoothly and you don't have to press hard to get a nice dark color when writing. The lead seems much stronger and doesn't constantly break off. I love the added bonus of extra lead and erasers that came in the package. The erasers are great and easily erase any mistakes. These are so much more durable and write so much smoother than any other mechanical pencils we have tried!
