[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Bic Velocity pencils and was overjoyed to see how stylish they looked even in the package. Upon opening the package, I was also pleased when I put the first pencil into my hand. The pencil was very sturdy. Many times mechanical pencils feel thin and cheap, but this is not the case with the Velocity. I really like the look of the pencils, they almost look like pens, and I love the vibrant, exciting colors. I clicked the lead out so that I could write with it and I was pleased that just a click or to provided the perfect length lead with which to write. The lead was smooth on the page and did not squeak or stick on the page like many other brands of pencils do. I decided to give erasing a try and I love the fact that the eraser comes with its own little cover over it. Now, I come to the only thing about these pencils that I don't like and that is the eraser. The eraser is a bit small, but it works efficiently. The problem I find is that it is impossible to use the eraser without clicking the end and consequently dispensing more lead! That is frustrating. It is an easily fixed problem, but one that I found to be quite annoying. Overall, I think these Bic Velocity pencils are top notch and I would recommend them for back to school or any other pencil use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought they were very nice pencils but my teenage kids used them and said they broke too easily. They have been using a different brand for a few years and said they prefer to stick to those.

BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils offer a nice grip

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the feel of the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencil! I do not notice a difference in actual writing or erasing though. I had my three oldest children give them a try. They all thought they wrote fine, but also didn't notice a difference between the new pencil and the old ones we have. I am certain this pencil will not make anyone more excited about writing in this house, but they are comfortable to use and erase well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These lead pencils are by far the best I've ever used. My boys where excited to get them just in time for school to start. They write si well, plus you got free lead & erasers. They kept a pack & gave the other pack to their friends.

These are great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these free to try out. They came in just before school started. My 6th grader would rather have mechanical pencils rather than the standard #2 that you have to sharpen, so I gave him the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils since school was starting. He loves them. I gave him 2 of these mechanical pencils and 2 generic mechanical pencils, and he says that these are more comfortable than the others when he writes.

BICÆ VelocityÆ Mechanical Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I was asked to try out the BICÆ VelocityÆ Mechanical Pencils I thought how can a pencil be different from any other? Well, they can be. The lead feels very superior as does the actual materials used to make the pencil and grip. The colors are fantastic also (my favorite is the pink in the attached picture). The white eraser leaves no smudges on your work which is great for someone that is OCD about their papers being clean looking. I also liked that they came with a canister of replacement leads and erasers. There is not one thing about these pencils I can complain about.
