[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are amazing! They write smoothly and erase completely AND the lead lasts for a really long time. On top of that the pencil pack comes with extra replacement lead AND extra erasers! Perfect! Would recommend to anyone!

Finally, mechanical pencils I can use with my crossword puzzles

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't usually use a mechanical pencil for my crossword puzzles, but #BICVelocity mechanical pencils don't shred the thin newsprint of my crossword puzzles when erasing or writing on them! Plus they erase cleanly. Hooray! #GotItFree

Keep on Writing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these BIC® Velocity® Mechanical Pencils. My kids love the funky colors and how they have a sleek cool design. No need to look for a pencil sharpener with the automatic reload lead. The eraser gets rid of mistakes cleanly with no smudges or tears. My kids already have them in their back to school backpacks waiting for schoolwork. These are quality pencils. The lead is more sturdy than other mechanical pencils and doesn't smudge when you erase. Thanks Bic for making such quality products

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids love mechanic pencils so I was excited to be part of this Bic Velocity Mechanical pencil campaign. These pencils are now my kids' favorite pencils. The lead is stronger than others and don't break as easy and erases nicely.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] BIC® Velocity® Pencils is my number 1 mechanical pencil of choose to go to. I love using it compared to other pencils or just a plan number #2. I like they hold up great for taken notes and keep my hand writing very neat and they work great for my children! I have purchased many other packs and talk highly of these!

AWESOME Mechanical Pencil that writes like a pen!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This BIC Velocity mechanical pencil looks like a pen at first glance. I have to say when writing with it, it seems to flow as smooth as a pen also. The comfort grip on the pencil is an added bonus. When you compare writing with a standard #2. well actually there is no comparison. I will never go back to writing with a regular pencil. My kids loves these. I have a child in high school that loves using pencils but hates the feel of a regular pencil. I brought these home and he asked for them all because he loved writing with them. He even said it made writing easier!! Thank you BzzAgent and BIC. #GetitFree #BIC #BzzAgentRules

Pretty good but the grip is horrible

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter said that it is similar to other mechanical pencils. She does not like the grip and thinks it should be more cushiony. She said the eraser was better than the red erasers on the yellow pencils. She likes the look.

great pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They write very smoothly. I haven't had an issue with putting too much pressure and having the lead snap. My friend who actually has this issue with a lot of pencils doesn't have it with these either.
The erasers on these pencils are pretty nice too. They don't seem to disintegrate into tiny specks like ones on cheaper mechanical pencils. They also don't make that horrible 'noise' that the pink erasers do either, which is great. One thing I do dislike about these though is that they get used up pretty quickly. I've been mainly only using the pink pencil and eraser is about halfway gone already and it's only been about 3 weeks since I got these. It's a little disappointing, but the pack does come with extra erasers. I'd definitely recommend getting a separate eraser though, like one of the the big rectangle ones.
Speaking of erasers, one thing I don't understand is the caps. The erasers have caps on them. ...Why? The whole cap thing is why I had to get these in the first place. I think they're supposed to prevent having the lead get pushed out accidentally while you have the pencils in your bag or a case or something. However, upon trying out these pencils for the first time, I immediately lost two of the caps. They're clear so they are very difficult to find if you misplace them. Be careful
