Nice Smooth Lead and Fun Colors

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these pencils will be a nice addition to the kids' school bags this year, they have bright colored barrels that appeal to both boys and girls and dark lead that teachers appreciate!
I do wish they had been 0.9mm lead instead of the 0.7. It makes them easier for students of all ages to use without risk of breaking.

Great Idea

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My children love these so far! They write so smoothly and are comfortable for them to grip, but didn't erase cleanly. I think that may have to do with the children being used to needing to press harder. Without having to press harder they're hands hurt less and they seem more eager to write. This gives me hope that they'll participate more in their writing assignments. Three of the colors are a favorite to three of the children so they grabbed those right up with a big smile, and the container for the extra lead and erasers is pretty neat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids love using mechanical pencils. The nice thing about these is they come with the eraser refills and pencil lead. My kids all got to choose a different color to use and so they knew which onwas theirs.

Love the Velocity Pencils
on August 3, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Day one, opening the package, my 12-year-old daughter took one out, wrote with it for a few minutes, then promptly started stealing all the good colors! Then I took them along to a weekend with my friends and they decided that they're 'good enough to steal', meaning if you borrow it to use for a second you would probably walk away with it! I guess I need to keep mine on a string when I go back to school in a few weeks. I love how dark they write, unlike many mechanical pencils that are so light you can barely read it. The grip fits my hand just right, very comfortable. Having a cover on the eraser is a great idea. I find lots of these erasers lying around my classroom, hopefully that will help hold them in better. My only suggestion would be to make the eraser longer but I like that extras are included.

Superior mechanical pencil!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The timing for this Buzz Campaign could not have been more perfect. It's nearly time to go back to school for both my kids and myself. When I buy school supplies for my kids I want them to be of the best quality so they can get the most use out of them.
I will admit, that I have had some not-so-good experiences with mechanical pencils in the past, so I was a bit skeptical going into this. Each package of Bic Velocity comes with 5 pencils as well as a container of replacement lead (BONUS!). The pencil felt great in my hand, thanks to the comfort of the rubber grip. I noticed right away that when I pushed the eraser end to extract the lead, that the metal tip also retracts. Nice! Just the right amount of lead came out. I used the pencil, initially to do a crossword puzzle. This is a great test, since I made many mistakes and had to use the eraser often. The eraser comes with a plastic cap. I guess this nice for presentation's sake, but I was left trying to find a place to stash the cap when not in use. The cap is not necessary in my opinion.
That being said, the pencil was very easy to write with, so snags, skips or breaks. The eraser erased my mistakes beautifully and completely...no smears or smudges. I like the thought of using Bic Velocity mechanical pencils at home because my kids are rough on pencils and are constantly breaking the lead. Bic Velocity solves this issue with just a click of the eraser end. Bic Velocity will be our go-to pencil!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to open these pencils to try them out. I love how colorful they are and they are very sturdy. The lead doesn't easily break like other mechanical pencils that I have used. I would definitely purchase these and recommend them to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bic is a trust worthy product that i prefer over other brands. Reliable and a quality product. My son likes to use mechanical pencils. Hopefully this year he will not play with the lead and actually use it to do homework!
