BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils: a big hit from the beginnin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My teens and even us adults are more than impressed by the BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils! This is my updated review after giving them, and us, some extra time to use them throughout the summer before school starts. My 15 year old very particular daughter has been using them nonstop during summer doing her Advanced Summer English assignment. She?s also been using them to study for Spanish for the upcoming year, and her drivers permit test. She uses the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils to make note cards for each subject to study. They have become extremely helpful in encouraging her to be on task. My 13 year old son has had occupational issues and fine motor skill issues all his life. Handwriting has been a struggle for him and much more frustration than fun. He absolutely loves these pencils and has been using them to practice his writing skills. He's been writing short stories at home about things he enjoys l, or fun things we?ve done over the summer. He has also been using them in Occupational Therapy as well. The vibrant choice of colors excites them as well as the fine darker lead which helps make their writing more crisp and clear. This is especially helpful for my son given his challenges with handwriting. The soft grip is exceptionally helpful for my son and even my daughter, which provides a more comfortable grip. No more need to sharpen a pencil, and refilling lead and erasers is a breeze. The BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils have been a life saver for us! These pencils have helped pull my kids away from their electronics and get their minds back into school ahead of time. Which as a parent that's a major achievement! They are an amazing learning tool for a variety of age ranges. They help in engaging children of all ages so they can be more passionate about writing. They have aided in sparking a passion for writing in our home. These would be an amazing tool in not only an educational school environment, but also those used to help children learn the skills to succeed in improving their handwriting for school. All of us as a family feel the BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils surpass the average mechanical pencil, and we highly recommend that families give them a try this year during school. The only letdown is that the erasers are not as strong as they could be. My kids prefer to use different erasers. That doesn't discourage me from giving 5 stars because regardless of this they are an amazing mechanical pencil and completely worth the purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are nice pencils. My son loves the bright colors! I like that they come with extra lead and erasers. Very nice to have those on hand! The eraser works well which makes or breaks a pencil for me, I APPROVE!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had my two children age 13 and 11 try out BIC Velocity pencils. My 13 year old said she loves how she can easily grip the pencil. She says it writes smooth and erasers better then the standard BIC pencil. My 11 year old says he likes the cool colors best. But he also said his hand don't hurt well writting. My kids approval is worth spending the extra money.

Not your mommas mechanical pencil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these are pretty good. I gave some to my sons who started school and they love it. Back when I was going to school I hated the ones I was given. I also saved a few for myself. I gotta say - I see why my boys like it so much! It erases well and it writes well. I got significantly LESS lead on the side o my palm than when I was in school. I highly recommend these to anyone with kids or who uses pencils a lot.

Great mechanical pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is, by far, the best mechanical pencil I have ever used. 1st of all, it doesn't feel cheap or plastic-y. It feels nice and comfortable in your hand. The lead is very smooth and does not break easily like many others tend to do. My son has sloppy/poor handwriting and when he uses these, he has better control and more legible handwriting. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these mechanical pencils are the best around. I used one to write a note in my teens notebook on the first day of school. It was so smooth when writing and the pencil itslef is not to thin, like the normal pencils. The comfort level of this pencil is amazing. It doesnt hurt my skin and makes it easy to write nice. My children and myself loves these pencils.
