The best of the best ..!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, just in time for school shopping! I didn't get one pack, but two packs for free from BzzAgent! Making my list and checking it twice with #BICVelocity mechanical pencils. Our schools asks for several packs of sharpened #2 pencils... this year I rebel! I'm sending my kids armed with #BICVelocity mechanical pencils. No sharpening needed and each pack includes extra lead and refill erasers. I foresee lots of A+ work this school year! Yippee! I always run out of eraser well before the pencil wear out! Well down Bic for that. Ok let's get down to business, the pencils have a lovely feel when you write with them and have a wonderful dark colour to the writing so when I draw my plans up, I don't have to press hard to be able to see them, they are not particularly smudgy and the lads are easy to replace. All in all I'm pretty impressed with these. I have stuck some in my 16yr old's bag for school but we have another few weeks before he goes back so I'll have to see what he thinks of them then. The pack also includes 5 additional erasers and a container of 0.7 lead to use as replacements. I am happy that BIC included these additions as it will make my life so much more convenient. The pencil writes relatively smoothly. The eraser seems standard to me and erases most of my errors. This pencil uses 0.7 lead which is similar to a #2 mechanical pencil, which will be useful for my children to use in school. The fact that they don't have to keep sharpening a regular pencil will make their lives so much easier. My teenager already swiped from me one of the pencil packs to use for school! Overall, this is a nice set of handy and useful mechanical pencils.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the pencils int he mail and since school is starting I gave them to my 16yr old and told her to let me know what she thinks of them. She couldn't even wait for school to start she opened them and started using immediately. She loves them and says they work well, they don't break easily and are not too light either. the lead itself is a nice dark color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids will only use mechanical pencils, it makes school work so much easier. We have tried almost every brand and they said they are the best they have used. They write smooth, erase easily and best of all you don't to sharpen them! These are a hit in our house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I figured it's a mechanical pencil. the lead will break frequently and I will have to change it out several times a week...been 4 weeks and going strong. No lead change needed - no breakage just clean smooth pencil lines! #BICVelocity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these are quite possibly some of the best mechanical pencils I have used. They write so smooth and are made very well. They don't tear up easily like other brands I've tried!

Smooth and Strong

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids and I love these Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils. They have a comfortable built in finger grip which is so helpful for my child that struggles with fine motor skills. The lead is much stronger than traditional mechanical pencil lead and the writing is very smooth. The pack even comes with extra lead and erasers. When we erase mistakes, they disappear cleanly without tearing the paper. My kids are more eager to write when using these bright colored pencils.

Makes homework fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first received these BIC Velocity mechanical pencils, my kids couldn't open them up quickly enough! They were so excited to try them out!! After deciding who gets which color, the writing began. They were so fun! They wrote really smooth and the eraser erases fully without smudging and the easer works easily meaning you don't need to strain your arm to erase. It took very little pressure for any mistakes to be corrected. We also really liked that it came with extra erasers and lead. Now that the kids are in school, these BIC pencils are the first ones they reach for when it's homework time. It makes them feel like they're using something fancy and special!
