[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has been using his BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils at school now for two and a half weeks. Since he was starting middle school, he loved the cool factor of these mechanical pencils. The pack came with 5 mechanical pencils and a convenient refill case which included lead and erasers. The bright colors of the pencils really appealed to him and his friends. I noticed recently that he had personalized them a little more by switching the grip portions on the pencils. For example, the yellow pencil now has a blue grip. I liked that he spontaneously added his own creative touch to his school supplies. The pencil write very smoothly and are comfortable to hold. The lead is strong and does not break easily. The only down side that I have found is that my son has already used all the lead from the pencils and all the refill lead. I was surprised that it only lasted two and a half weeks. I don't know, however, if he was sharing lead with friends or loaning his pencils out. I would recommend this product to friends, and he has stated that he would like to get some more refill lead because he likes the pencils. As an Occupational Therapist, I am also planning on using some of the Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils with me students. Getting to use mechanical pencils often motivates them for writing tasks. They also help with natural feedback (lead breaking) for students who press too hard. My students have already asked me when I'm going break open the package on my desk.

Love the smooth, strong refillable #2 lead, the awesome fun colors and comfy rubber grip that makes writing easier! The strong lead erases cleanly. My kids were super excited to take these for school!! #BICVelocity #GotItFree

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the pencils were awesome. My 10 y/o daughter stole a couple to use for her math homework. The only thing I didn't really understand was the plastic cover on the eraser, that was a little weird. The pencils write very nice. The eraser in general was a little off....it felt weird to erase something.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Back to school is here, and the timing was perfect for these! I?m typically not a big fan of mechanical pencils, but I have to say- I love these pencils! The lead in them seems much sturdier than typical mechanical pencils, so you don?t get them constantly snapping off as you write (so annoying). And they write darker and smoother than the typical mechanical pencils, which is a huge plus! They are also very comfortable to hold. I have small hands, and am very particular about how pens/pencils feel as I hold them. But these are great! I do have one complaint. Right away I discovered that as I erase, the lead gets pushed out of the top of the pencil. Then when I went to write, the lead broke because I wasn?t aware that so much of the lead had come out. Now I know to push the lead in before I write?. All in all- love these!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I sent three of these pencils to school with my son. He said he loves them. He enjoys they way they feel in his hand... how well they write and was excited that the lead lasted a long time. I am very excited to know he enjoys using these pencils because i know how much he will need to write as a freshman. I would have to say these pencils by far out last the same ole number 2 pencils.

Love Bic pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This year my 6th grader supply list included mechanical pencils. Perfect timing for this Bzz campaign!! My son loves them. He says they are easy to write with them and when erasing , they erase good. I like that they seem to write a little darker because he tends to write softly and it was harder to see his writing last year. I like that there are extra lead and erasers in pack. Will continue to buy BIC products!!

Best mechanical pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok so how great can a mechanical pencil be? It's made of plastic - check, it has an eraser- check and a seemingly endless supply of lead. So what makes the Bic Velocity so different than other pencils? It writes really smoothly and the plastic shaft has a soft rubber grip so it feels like a nice quality pen. Plus the package comes with replacement leads as well as extra erasers. One pack could last your kids the entire school year easily. These have become my go-to pencils. I absolutely love them!
