Durable, high quality mechanical pencils with a comfortable,

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils are great! My children and I love the beautiful, bright colors they come in. I like that these mechanical pencils are always sharp and ready to write with, no more looking for a sharp pencil, or the need to constantly re-sharpen a pencil while writing important notes or doing homework! The BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils have a strong lead that doesn't break easily, and which writes very smooth and dark. The handwriting of my children looked so much more neat, and even little mistakes disappeared easily, without smudging or leaving big marks behind, thanks to the durable, white erasers on them. Another great and unique feature in my opinion is that the erasers have caps on them, which prevents you from accidentally releasing more lead when being tossed into a pencil case or backpack! The package also includes extra lead, plus extra erasers, that make it a great value! My kids' favorite feature about these pencils, besides the vibrant colors, are the soft, cushion-like pencil grips, which make it so much more comfortable to write with them, unlike other brands that used to give my oldest daughter constantly blisters from writing so much at school and at home. I like the durable quality of the pencils, you can tell they are made to last! I have already bought more, and highly recommend them! Thumbs up, BIC, your innovativeness and quality of products have impressed me once again!

Still his favorite back to school item!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son returned to school before labor day and he continues to get asked about his new BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils. The colors are so eye catching. His teachers are thrilled because they erase so cleanly. He loves how he can write with them for a long time and it's still comfortable in his hand. Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has reported to me how much he loves the ability to write so smoothly. He said the lead seems to last longer, too without breaking as often as typical pencils!

Great writing, smooth lead

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the way these pencils write but, I have to say, for my son whose 10, I just don't think he's ready for them yet. Both he and I write pretty hard and he tended to play with the mechanics of the pencil more than focus on the writing. The leads tend to break when he writes, though the eraser works very well. Another drawback is I had two pencils break on me; the bottom part at the tip. It was right in the middle of writing something important both times. Also on another pencil the plastic at the eraser broke, so technically I could still use that pencil, but I could not attach it to a notebook. If I do buy mechanical pencils in the future, I would definitely consider buying these pencils and hopefully will not have the problems with the pencils breaking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils are the best pencil that BIC has made to date! My daughter expressed it in their picture. Smooth writing like it advertises. The lead is thick and strong. It has a squeaky clean eraser and bright and eye-catching colors. Great grip as well. I highly recommend these pencils.

Bic Velocity mechanical pencils
on September 16, 2016

from Lowell, MA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a teacher, I was really excited to try these pencils. I feel like I use a lot of pencils at work, and I was looking forward to trying a higher-quality mechanical pencil. I typically prefer traditional wood pencils, but these pencils are great! I've been using mine for about a mouth, and the lead still hasn't run out. The lead also never snaps, which is the main reason I dislike cheaper mechanical pencils. They write really smooth and look dark, much better than other mechanical pencils I've used in the past. The eraser is also of good quality, it doesn't leave smudges on the paper. They're too nice to hand out to students, but I will definitely use them and keep them for myself! Kids who are responsible with their supplies will also really like these. I think the value is very good for the quality, especially since there is extra lead in the package. Definitely a nice option for back to school.

Quality pencils that are great for kids

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These BIC Velocity mechanical pencils are high quality, and the grip is fantastic. You can really feel the care that went into designing them. The lead in them is sturdy and stands up to kids' forceful pressing much better than bargain brands do. My stepson likes to press really hard and BIC Velocity pencils lead actually held its own against that. The colors are great and help kids get excited to use them. The bright colors really stand out against the floor too if the pencils get dropped. The erasers work well and erase cleanly. It is so cool that the package comes with lead and eraser refills included. I honestly couldn't believe that BIC had done that. Amazing! I received these pencils free to try and am so glad I did.
