BICÆ VelocityÆ Mechanical Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These mechanical pencils worked well and had a nice feel to them. They wrote smoothly and evenly. No need to press down too firmly when writing or drawing. The barrels come in nice vibrant colors and I liked that they came with extra lead. The color of the lead is decent and you do not have to write harder and end up ripping the paper. The erasers worked well in the beginning but after a while they began to just smudge instead of cleanly erasing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son is 11 years old and will be going to 6th grade this year and he loved the BICÆ VelocityÆ Mechanical Pencils that we received from Bzzagent. He loved the bright colors and that is came included with extra lead and erasers. I liked this product because the pencil size seems larger then most mechanical pencil so it was easier to grip and is a sturdy product. they also write very smooth and the lead doesn't just break off. Great product and just in time for the new school year.

The pencils overall are excellent to use. Writing quality from these pencils is top notch, they even come with extra lead and erasers. I recommend these pencils for all ages.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have children who are in grade school, however, i also use pencils more than pens when note taking. I normally use the old fashion number two pencils, but these new Bic Pencils are greats, durable, easy to write with. My daughter who is using them to keep up n her reading and math during the summer love them. I have been able to pass a few out and waiting for feedback from friends.

A Back to School Must

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Bic Velocity mechanical pencils. My 12 year old daughter and I were so excited to try them. She loves the different colors as well as the grips on the pencils. They write very neatly and erasing is great too, there is no streaky residue left over. I love the fact that not only do these pencils come with extra lead but extra erasers!!!!! I can't tell you how much of a relief that is. All around this product in my opinion is fabulous. I handed out the coupons I received to fellow moms, it came at a good time.....back to school shopping!!!! I bought a couple packs for my daughter for school and now she can't wait to go back!!!! Thanks Bzzagent!

No more wooden pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first saw the pack of pencils I noticed on top of the pencils was a refill tube holding 5 erasers and 12 leads! This is great now I have an extra eraser for each Bic Velocity pencils and extra leads on top of each one filled ready to use. Hooray! I decided to try them out fits before for son so I took one of the pencils out to write with it. I clicked the top of the pencil and it sounded like a pen clicking so at first I thought oh this one must be a pen and the rest are pencils so I wrote with it and I still swore it was a pen until I used the eraser on the end and all the writing was gone. Then I began to write some more and found out it really is a pencil and it writes so good! The lead didn't snap off or even break as I continued writting with it. The lead wrote smooth, it was dark in color as lead should be when taking standarized tests in class.† Bic Velosity mechanical has a rubber grib around the part you hold so it will be more comfortable than holding a wooden pencil. Mechanical pencils have come a long way since I have used them as a child. :-)† When I gave the pencils to my son he was so excited to use them :-) I am pretty excited too because school is starting here on Monday and I didn't have to buy any pencils yet to send with him. I think if he don't lose them he should be good for awhile. I can't wait to see how long the lead lasts between refils.

Kids and I both love them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not too picky with my pencils... if they work and have erasers, I'm set. The kids, on the other hand, are VERY picky. For some reason they always prefer mechanical pencils so they were super excited when I got these in the mail for them. No need to fight over the colors- my girl and boy gladly sorted which ones they wanted. It was very convenient to have the lead and erasers packaged separately. I think it really motivates my kids to practice their writing if they like the tools they're using. A+ from me!
