[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the BICÆ VelocityÆ Mechanical Pencils! Thank you for sending me 2 packages because I have 3 kids in school and this really helped them out tremendously. They love how easy the pencils are to use and they don't have to keep getting up to sharpen pencils. The lead is nice, flows across the page and doesn't smudge or smear. Eraser on top does a good job removing all trace of pencil, you can barely see anything was there. I also love the fact it comes with extra lead and erasers. Great job BIC!

Beyond mechanical

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My tween/teen kids love the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils. I barely had them out of the BzzAgent box and they both absconded with them. Traditional pencils aren't as cool with big kids. The mechanical BIC pencils are especially great for my high school kid in his architectural drawing class. He is impressed with the ease of use and sharp lines.

Best mechanical pencil ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves to draw and write poems. I told her I found some new pencils and wanted her to try them. She came to me 3 days later and asked me where I got them because they were easier to hold, they wrote better and she said it was smooth and the lines were darker. I tried them and she is right. Best overall mechanical pencil to date. #BICVelocity #GotItFree

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think BiC Velocity mechanical pencils are awesome. They write smooth and erase clean. They also have a rubber grip that makes it easy to hold. Their is a tab that allows you to put pencils in your shirt pocket if you lose like I do then this is an awesome addition not available with regular pencils. I love that BiC included extra lead and erasers for them. My two teenagers were excited to have them and all their friends were asking to use them and where they could buy them. This is a big hit this school year! think BiC Velocity mechanical pencils are awesome. They write smooth and erase clean. They also have a rubber grip that makes it easy to hold.

review from my daughter
on September 17, 2016
Posted by: bonnie77
from Shrewsbury, MA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter was very excited to see the colors the pencils arrived in and she quickly took the purple one for herself. She is in the 7th grade now. She used the pencil at home to do some of her home work and practice math problems. According to her the writing was quite bold and she liked the look and color of the lead. Sometimes it did feel a bit rough depending on the angle, otherwise overall it was smooth. The lead did not break at all even if you pressed hard for darker writing.

BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils Rock!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ever since I was in high school I have loved using mechanical pencils. There was always a sharp point and I didn't have to go looking for a pencil sharpener. For me, the one thing I wanted to know before getting the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils was how readily available the lead refills would be. There is nothing worse than running out of lead and not being able to find the correct lead refill. Thankfully, refills are easily located. I had my son try it out first. And he loved them, especially the different colors (not the pink because it was too girly for him) and the cushion grip, as he tends to hold pencils and pens with a tight grip (me too). Our inventory of stubby pencils have finally decreased!

smooth as butter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do a lot of writing for work purposes. I have used the regular #2 pencils and I have used mechanical pencils. Both have their disadvantages. Pencils have a habit of breaking at the most inopportune times. The Bic velocity pencil was different. First thing I noticed was the comfort grip. When you write as much as I do and you have carpal tunnel, comfort is everything and this pencil has it. Secondly, it writes as smooth as butter. Other pencils have a jagged, almost skip like when writing. Not this pencil. Mistakes are cleaned easily, leaving no messy residue or pencil smudging. I suppose parents would say these were good for kids but I think they are perfect for adults as well. I work in a public bus yard, I have to write down the bus locations for over 200 buses. This in itself can be a tedious job, then I have to write out the bus assignments. Previously, my hand would get tired but with these pencils, I find myself not needing to stop as often. Definitely a plus for someone with a tiresome hand.
