No breaking

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Huge homework helper!!!! My son has struggled with handwriting since he started school. We always use mechanical pencils for the convenience. He seems to push down really hard when writing, and with other mechanical pencils, I would find the lead would break every few words, really messing with his productivity and slowing his progress in his work. We would go through them very quick as well. What a difference these new BIC Velocity pencils make! We just got through and entire 1 hour homework session without the lead breaking on him once. He was so impressed by not only that, but how smooth they write. He said it felt like writing with a smooth pen. The eraser does a great job of removing any traces of what was previously written, and the cap on top of it makes him feel like it's extra special. We can't wait to continue using these throughout the year. 5 stars!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Neither my son or I have ever tried mechanical pencils (always used the standard #2 regular pencils) When you reach for the cheap story brand pencil, you can expect for it to break or have really breakable lead.
After trying out BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils, I will never buy anything else. These pencils are amazing. They are comfortable to hold and the lead is durable. They look and feel like an expensive pen. An added bonus is the extra lead and erasers. The eraser caps are also a plus! From now on I will never reach for another mechanical pencil. Thanks BIC!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] BIC Velocity mechanical pencils are awesome. They write so smooth and dark. The lead is a lot stronger than other brands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] love love love these pencils and my daughter loves them too! They are so convenient with not having to sharpen them. They write smooth but dark so the lead is easy to see. The Lead is also durable so its not constantly breaking! Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils are going to be a must have for this school year. #BicVelocity #gotitfree

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these pencils!! They're a little more expensive than the average mechanical pencil and especially regular wooden pencils. But they're well worth the extra money spent! They write smooth and blend easily when sketching. The plastic is durable enough for use by kids and the lead doesn't snap every time it touches paper like other brands always seem to do. Love that I #GotItFree from #BzzAgent too!!!

Mechanically inclined!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After receiving our package of free Bic Velocity mechanical pencils my kids put them to a test with the regular wooden pencils and Bic won!
What stood out above all is the comfort and the ease to use. My kids request a long lasting and comfortable grip especially during those long tests in class. Not having to stop and sharpen a broken tip is great. They've gone as far as making me a thank you doodle! Picture included. I, as the parent, find them simply great, I travel with a few in my purse to help take notes. The ease of use in one click to add the lead is great and the handy eraser makes it just perfect, not to mention they come in a variety of colors!

Perfect time for back to school

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My children and I are not big fans of pencils that need sharpening. The Bic velocity mechanical pencils from Bzz agent are great. I was skeptical athe first, as many mechanical pencils advertise that they are refillable and are easily erasable. We've had some time to try try these out and my satisfaction level remains very high. Math tends to be a tough subject for my kids, so they erase a lot. With other pencils, the erasers don't erase, the leads break and for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to refill the "other brands". The eraser and smooth writing is superior. Math frustration has decreased due to the ability to simply and cleanly erase mistakes. I continue to be very pleased with this product. We will be buying these, or the lead fillers over and over. I think we have finally found our last needed pencil. A must have for students! Even the school teacher was pleasantly surprised how well these pencils write and erase so cleanly. The picture had 3 lines, both said the same thing. See for yourself how neatly like 2 erased! Amazing!
