A nearly perfect pencil
on September 17, 2016
Posted by: Atziouth
from Gordonville, PA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these new pencils from BIC. They are very bright so I can find them in my junk drawer, though I would love to see a bright green one since I am not a pink fan. I love, love LOVE that the metal portion of the tip retracts completely into the unit so I don't stab myself when searching my purse for a writing implement. I love the chunkiness of the grip and how dark and smooth it writes. I also really love that it comes with not only extra leads but extra erasers. I have thrown out numerous other brands of mechanical pencils because they had refillable leads but a fixed eraser and once that was worn down you either couldn't erase or had to carry around a separate eraser. The only think that could possible make these better is that I found the little indentation for your grip to be slightly too far up the pencil for my preference. I found my fingers settling a bit below this in the hollow at the far end by the tip which was still comfortable but didn't give quite as much control in my writing. This is a minor issue however and I would not give these up because of it.

My Kids Favorite Pencil!
on September 17, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 6 year old son was so excited when I received my Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils. He immediately got his 2 favorite colors out if the pack and started drawing. I also got one and tried it. I loved the easy rubber grip on it. It feels real good in your hands. My son also loved the way it felt. Its really easy to write with and makes really dark lines. If you need to erase something the eraser works real well. I like that its almost impossible to break the lead. If you need new lead its easy to click the button at the top to get it. No need to have a sharpener anymore. I also like that it has extra lead in the pack. My son was very excited to take these pencils to school to show everybody.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My three children started school a few weeks ago and have been very happy with the mechanical pencils. They friends have admired them because of the cool colors and because they are mechanical of course. The write smoothly and erase well. I will have to get more to pass around to my nieces and nephews.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils are a great pencil. I found that they write smooth which is great when journaling. The lead is dark which makes it easy to read. Definitely my go to pencil.

BIC Takes Pencils to a New Level

from Delray Beach, FL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] New BIC Velocity pencils are great for back to school or even for yourself. I like using them for shopping lists, word searches and even for drawing. I am usually not a fan of pencils because but BIC has made me a regular user. One package will last for a long time because it comes with 5 pencils, 5 eraser replacements and 12 lead refills.

Bic Did tTe Trick!
on September 17, 2016
Posted by: cflorio
from Boylston, MA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family loved the bright colors! They kept pressing the top of the pencil because it was so much fun to click it. this of course made the lead too long and the tip would break off. The eraser was awesome because it erased so cleanly. The kids liked the cover on it also, but they think they will lose it . They wish the ink was a little thicker & wrote a little darker. The only downfall they all see is having to replace the led and eraser, but then again that is what mechanical pencils are all about.

Best back to school tool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these pencils are the best school supply I've gotten for my daughter. She loves the way they write and how comfortable she feels while writing. They're a unique type of mechanical pencil and we will only use these from now on.
