Fun colors for fabulous writing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids love these BIC velocity mechanical pencils! The fight over the fun colors, all boys so luckily they leave the pretty pink one for me! I started buying them mechanical pencils a few years ago, just because of the ease of use (no sharpening) and that they write better with them. I know there teachers appreciate that as much as I do. These pencils have very nice lead, that erases cleanly and are easy to reload. Perfect for the upcoming school year.

Well Used And Well Loved!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a HUGE mechanical pencil fan, and BIC is always my favorite! These BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils are no exception! As a person who works in accounting, I'm ALWAYS looking for a good pencil! I also love puzzle books, and will only do them in pencil so I can erase! These pencils write great, but I hate the cap! Every time I'd turn my pencil over to erase, there was that darn cap on it! Easy fix?? THROW THE CAP AWAY! They fit well in my hand and have a built in pencil grip, but they feel slightly larger than a normal pencil and definitely larger than any other BIC pencils I've used. I'm not sure why, since there is no more lead in them than other BICs. As an accounting person, I love that these pencils come with additional lead. There seems to be 3 pieces of lead in the pencils already, and you get a pack with 12 additional sticks of lead. As a a parent... I hate that these pencils come with additional lead... It's just more for my kids to play with! :) I'll have to look into the price of these pencils to see if they're worth me switching from the basic BICs to these new BIC Velocity, but if the price is similar, I'd definitely consider switching! Thanks, BIC and BzzAgent! #GotItFree #BICKid

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the grip on the pencils! When my hand get's sweaty I can just keep on writing! I like that the tip is retractable so you don't have to worry about it getting broke off either!

Thumbs Up For Bic Velocity!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves her #BICVelocity Mechanical Pencils! Now that she is hooked on Bic Velocity she refuses to use any other pencils. She can't stop raving about them to her friends at school. They write super smooth and the pop of colors are way cool for her. She even pointed out how the soft grip doesn't make her fingers hurt. Every time she does homework all she needs is her trusted Bic Velocity Pencils.

Smoother and stronger

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son needed mechanical pencils for his engineering class so I gave him one Bic Velocity and one store brand. Literally the next day he gave me back the store brand pencil complaining that it broke too much and the lead wasn't very dark. He asked for another velocity. What he liked about it was the dark, smooth writing on his graphs and the lead was strong and hard to break. He also liked the size of the barrel of the pencil--the store brand was much thinner. My son found the Bic Velocity easy to hold on to. I like the lead/eraser refill pack.

Great Pencils, Great Colors

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loved these pencils. She said the barrel was comfortable and the writing was very smooth. She thought they were pretty fancy". I tried writing with one and they wrote very smoothly and I was very surprised of how much I liked them. I work in healthcare and we use mechanical pencils at work for certain things and these are just perfect for our needs also so needless to say I will be purchasing more of these to pass out to the ladies at work. The only downside that my daughter expressed was the cap for the eraser. It was nice but a pain to remove when you needed to use. After a couple of uses the cap was lost and long gone."
