These have held up very well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kids liked the colors of these and all of the extra erasers. Now, after they have been in school for about six weeks, I have seen how sturdy these are. They're plastic, but they are quite strong and durable. I have been surprised about how well they have lasted and how tough they are- even when rough and tumble kids are using them.

Highschooler loves these pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son is very picky when it comes to buying school supplies. They have to look cool and be stylish. The night before the first day school was hectic and we didn't have time to go shopping for school supplies. The morning of the first day of school he frantically came to me and said he needed pencils. I gave him the pack of Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils and asked him if these were cool enough to bring to school. He replied yeah" these will definitely work out. Later in the evening I asked him if he needed to buy some other mechanical pencils and he said no. These BIC Velocity pencils are working out great. We will definitely repurchase these in the near future. They are inexpensive and the quality of the pencils are good. The lead doesn't get jammed up and they write and erase smoothly."

better than good, they're sturdy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My teen is remarkably destructive with pencils and prefers mechanical pencils since he doesn't like wasting time sharpening. I don't like to buy the mechanical pencils as they are expensive and the lead tends to be quite fragile. Not so with these. They seem to glide more smoothly and the weight of the pencil itself gives it a much sturdier feel than the one we usually purchase. The erasure marks don't seem as prominent either. There is also less smearing. My teen writes and doodles with both hands, so sometimes the lead smears across the page (when writing or drawing lefty). Overall, I was very impressed and more importantly, the teen was impressed. We packed his backpack full of these last week. Two thumbs up here. One from the teen and one from the happy mom.

Durable Pencil Loved by Kids

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids immediately were attracted to BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils. First because of the colorful barrels, second due to the fact that they are mechanical, third because of the replacement erasers. The pencils write smooth and dark, yet erase cleanly with the erasers provided. The pencils are easy to operate, replacing lead is super fast, and the replacement erasers are awesome! My children love using these pencils and are more motivated to write.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are really liking the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils that we received for free courtesy of BIC. We're a standard pencil family, so these pencils are really different to us. We love the pretty, bright colors, and not having to sharpen your pencil all the time is pretty awesome too. They erase cleanly and completely, which is important. My kids have been using them for school work, so we appreciate that they're #2 lead. I've been using them around the house, and I really like always having a sharp point handy. I would recommend these pencils to my friends, and I'll definitely be purchasing them again.

Few week review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these write smoothly, have a darker lead each time you write but when erasing you can still kind of see the previous writing, it's not as clean. I'm assuming due to the darker lead. All and all I would still say these are a great pencil for everyday use. I still would recommend them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best mechanical pencils I have ever used! Smooth writing and cushioned grip are great but the best part is the strong lead! No more dealing with constant breaking lead. My kids love them too.

Writing is Fun Again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves mechanical pencils for her school work & these did not disappoint! She has been using them ever since school started & thinks they're great. They write very smoothly on the paper, and the lead doesn't smear as much as other pencils she's used in the past. Mistakes are easy to erase with little mess. In a time when so many kids are typing/texting instead of writing, it's great to know that these pencils make writing exciting again!
