BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils - Simply Amazing!
on August 4, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils are awesome, and work well for the entire family.
I love the soft grip on the pencil, it is comfortable and makes it bigger than your typical mechanical pencil. It really does reduce hand fatigue, and makes for a comfortable writing experience.
The lead writes smooth and dark, and even stood up to my 2 year old without breaking. And, the eraser is smooth, and works nicely.
The colors are fun and bright, which is what really attracted my kids. They will definitely be a must have for back to school, especially since the pencils have No. 2 lead.
One of my favorite things is that the lead and erasers are refillable, and they even come with extra lead and erasers. I find most mechanical pencils are either not refillable or extra lead has to be purchased separately, so this is definitely a bonus!
Overall, I am very pleased with the BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils. They definitely surpassed my expectations!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that these pencils are amazing they write so smoothly and have an amazing pressure that don't end up hurting me and my brothers hands. They in simple terms are much better quality than any other pencil I've ever tried

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I received Bic Velocity mechanical pencil in exchange for my honest review and I must say my kids could not wait to get their hands on them. They were immediately drawn to the color and grip of the pencils and once they start working on their art projects insist that they wanted more for school. I finally got my hands on one to try for myself and found that the lead didn't break that easily and the grip made it more comfortable to write with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] these were amazing! I was surprised they were nothing like the regular mechanical pencils. They're like writing with a ballpoint pen but with pencil! So smooth and easy the lead doesn't break easily unlike other sites mechanical s.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I personally love using the BIC® Velocity® Mechanical Pencils. My children and I worked very hard on a project for my little nephews birthday party. I had to draw pictures of game characters so that the kids could stick their heads in as the face and get their picture taken. I loved how I was able to erase the pencil markings on such a odd paper, it was a waxy texture on the poster board. I kept the cap off to the side because I needed it so much and was taking up time to take it off and put the cap back on. But a great benefit of the cap was that the eraser stayed clean and didn't smudge anything in the picture. When the kids used the pencils to make background items them absolutely loved the BIC® Velocity® Mechanical Pencils because they are so use to needing more lead with other mechanical pencils but with this pencil they didn't even have to press down for more the entire time. And since we had two drawings/paintings that we needed to do we were holding the pencils for a very long time it has a very comfortable grip and does not make your hand hurt at all. The nice bright colors were a hit too because there was no fighting over who's was who's and they both got their favorite color! I am a big fan of the BIC® Velocity® Mechanical Pencils and looking forward to sticking up on many more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With back to school right around the corner my family was super excited to receive items needed. Thanks so much buzzagent and Bic Velocity for the opportunity to sample and review these awesome mechanical pencil's. The kids love the not only the smooth writing but the comfort that it supplies for their little hands. The additional erasers where a very nice bonus. We look forward to using these all school year round.

Everything you've ever wanted in a mechanical pencil!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't know where to start! I initially was going to let my son take them to school but I couldn't wait. I use them at work to write on my calendar. I love that you can cover the eraser and it came with eraser and lead refills! This never happens unless you buy the expensive pencils. I took the pink and purple out of the pack to keep at work because they were "girly colors" and my 10 year old didn't want them. He's excited to get to use them this school year. He say's he's going to be the "cool kid" in class, better than the class clown I suppose. He's pretty tough on his school supplies but these seem to be pretty sturdy. I gave out the coupons and other pack to some people at work. Everyone was excited to save a little especially with school right around the corner!
