BIC has made me rethink mechanical pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These BIC Velocity Pencils are really well made. We are loving the bright and bold colors. They are surprisingly strong in that the lead is thinner than the average #2 pencil, but these leads aren't flimsy/fragile/easily broken. We find that just pushing the top and having out just enough lead to write with is best - no need to push out more lead as it's not necessary and will make the pressure point weaker. These thinner leads are great for things like precision writing, writing for an extended time or writing within a small space (ex: forms with limited writing space). My middle school-er is really enjoying writing with these mechanical pencils. He is working hard on his cursive writing and says that the BIC Mechanical Pencils make calligraphy or cursive writing easier as the point of the lead is smaller and it is easier to control the pencil due to the smooth tip. I also like the padding near the lead as it makes the pencil easier to grip. It will be much more comfortable to take notes in class once school begins and I won't have to be bothered by having to use the pencil sharpener." Although my son does say that he wishes there were more "boyish" colors - describing the majority of the mechanical pencils as basically girlish colors. He said he would like to see more basic colors like green

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kids love the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils!! :) I home school a couple of kids and since I received these pencils they keep asking for more assignments cause they just want to write using those pencils. Which I happen to think is AWESOME!!! :) My oldest has Cerebral Palsy and she said that it easier and less painful to write with these mechanical pencils then it is with the expensive specialty pencils I normally have to buy her! < 3 So all I can say is BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils definitely get a A+++ in my book!! :) Thanks so much bzzagent for the opportunity to try them cause they are a perfect fit for my family!! < 3

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What an awesome pencil, with the great comfortable grip, bright colors & clean erasing where could you go wrong? BIC is always our first choice and adding the grip makes them that much better. We also liked the fact that the eraser has a cap on it. I think this is at the top of BIC choice for mechanical pencils. #BICVelocity #GotItFree

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My two older kids LOVE pencils and especially mechanical pencils. They immediately ripped open the package to try them out as they were the expensive ones they drool over in the store. The pencils lived up to their expectations and they love them. They said they write smooth, don't break and erase well. When they head back to school they will be giving them to their friends to try out as well.....

Thank you for investing in the kids

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm excited to say that I don't have to feel bad telling my kids no anymore for these type of pencils. BIC Velocity pencils not only come with the extra led but thicker erasers and the perfect grip tips. I won't be wasting my money anymore and my kids won't be frustrated that the lead is constantly breaking and they don't have replacement lead. I can even feel comfortable writing with them and I have trouble gripping due to chronic pain in my hands. BIC invested in the kids and I fully support this new product for my kids to start the new school year with.
