Not revolutionary, but effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils were overall a good experience to use. I loved that they were mechanical, because I never use wooden pencils anymore (they're inconvenient and bad for the environment). To me, the pencils were relatively comfortable to hold; the grip was soft without being obnoxious. The eraser is pretty standard, and didn't run out as quickly as I expected. Personally I'm not a fan of the plastic cover over the eraser but it can easily be taken off so it wasn't an issue for me. I would probably buy these pencils again just because they work well, although there wasn't anything too novel or revolutionary about them in my opinion.

My daughter love the BICÆ VelocityÆ Mechanical Pencils.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think they write smooth, no smudges when you erase. I and my children love the colorful barrels and super smooth lead which makes writing for them more fun. The strong lead erases so clean. I am so thrilled knowing that my kids are excited about writing. Glad they got a chance to try something free that they are actually using and like. I have tried them myself and I must say they are better then other mechanical pencils I have used before.

The only pencil i use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils to try out. The grip in these mechanical pencils is amazing. My daughter requires a gripper with all #2 pencils but with Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils she doesn't need a gripper. She never has to leave her desk and interrupt class to sharpen her pencils. They come in great contrast colors so they are easy to find in a pencil box. The Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils are affordable and I can purchase the lead refills easily and most stores carry them so they are a favorite on my school supply list.

My son and his friends love them!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has aspereger's and struggles with hand writing due to fine motor issues. Sometimes writing utensils are too skinny for him and he complains how it hurts to write- he grips too hard attempting to write decent. These, however fit his hand ok. If any smaller, probably wouldn't have worked, but glad they did! It is nice how shaped to position his hand against the flat side to encourage proper form. He brought them to open house the night before the first day of school and shared with his friends : )

Excellent writing / Drawing Tool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From my own personal experience with this new BIC Velocity Mechancial Pencil to everyone I buzzed to (who also tried it courtesy of BzzAgent!) gave it a 5-star rating. Me, personally, loved the grip and the feel of it in my hand. It wrote smooth and erased clean. the last pencil I used, (standard yellow #2), paled in comparison. I love the fact they are re-fillable and that this pack came not only with the addt'l lead, but erasers too! What pencils I kept will last me a long time, which in and of itself, is a great thing! The other points of note, were the colors (fun for the little ones) and the fact the lead did not seem to break instantly when you begin to use it. All in all, a great tool!!

BIC Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has a habit of just throwing his pencils in his backpack and they usually end up broken. I have not found a broken pencil in his backpack yet so I really like that they are so durable. He also said that the lead is very durable and doesn't break when he is writing. Thank you BIC for making a durable product to help further kids learning. I knew BIC was a great brand before we tried these pencils but they have gone beyond that expectation, great job!!

Best Pencil ever
on September 13, 2016
Posted by: Sahshah_
from Carencro, LA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these pencils. I always had the problem of broken lead with other pencils. That is not a problem with these rugged pencils. The thicker lead and metal lead guide make it very hard to break the leads. I use these pencils in the field under extreme conditions and they have never failed me. My only knock against them is that I wish that they made a model with a metal barrel as the plastic barrels break easily if they are stepped on or sat upon.

My daughter loves these!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not usually a fan of mechanical pencils but my daughter is. She rather have them then regular pencils. She uses them mostly for homework and at school. She loves to draw and will occasionally use them. I keep a few at my desk whenever I need them. They are pretty and easy to use. I love the soft grip on the mechanical pencil when holding and writing. The package of BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils gives you extra lead too and come in different colors.
