LOve Mechanical Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils are awesome. They come in a variety of fun colors. I also like the cap on the eraser. They work great to stash in my bag without losing the eraser or marking up the inside of my purse. The only con of these is that I can see kids losing the cap to the eraser.

Mom is just as Impressed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I couldn't find an ink pen the other day, so I grabbed a Velocity... Pinkie, because what 11-year old can use a pink pencil? I was immediatley impressed with the pencil, confusing it with an ink pen thanks to the plastic on the bottom that provided the pencil support so not to break... I like that... I began writing with the pencil and discovered that it even writes as smoothly and easily as an ink pen (its been a long time since I used a pencil.) My writing actually looked good! The eraser wipes all of my mistakes away and I personally think pink rocks... Now I can understand why my son is so very excited and picky about the pencils he uses... These are totally worth the buy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love these pencils! The lead is super easy to raise and writes super smooth. It's a great thing that they come with extra lead an extra erasers, we are always losing the erasers. The bright colors make homework more fun and the lead makeS The kids handwriting neater. The lead did not seem ti break as easily as other mechanical pencils we've tried.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has fallen in love with these new bic velocity mechanical pencils and has requested this is what I buy from now on. He states that they grip better and write smoother than any other mechanical pencil he has used and that they fully erase unlike other mechanical pencils. #gotitfee #bicvelocity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loves these mechanical pencils. He just worked on a school assignment & was thrilled that not one time did the lead split, crumble, or break off while he was writing. He presses hard when he writes so he will often break the lead. Thank you BIC for making a fantastic mechanical pencil!!

They made the bag cut!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We started school yesterday and both of my school aged kids packed these pencils in the bag. That's extremely high praise from the child who had her bag packed for weeks, with folders and binders color coded by subject. It's slightly less high praise from the kid who tossed some supplies in his bag the night before, but still praise, as he had options. They like the mechanical pencils because they are always sharp and the erasers consistently work. My college age kid prefers a metal mechanical pencil with thinner lead (.5 vs. the .7 in these pencils). Those pencils are definitely higher quality with a better hand grip/feel, but they are also considerably more expensive. The BIC velocity are a great pencil for the cost. My son mentioned that he thought the hand grip was a nice feature.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think if you prefer to use mechanical pencils these are the best on the market that I have tested thus far. They write very smoothly. The led do sent break very easily, the eraser is awesome. It comes with extra led and erasers which I love. Soft hand holders on them making for a smooth write and no cramping. School is back in section and these will make great pencils to send your children back to school with.

BIC Velocity is a homerun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When my kids used the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils, they really enjoyed them. My eleven year old son loves the bright colors. He now carries at least two of these pencils, and a drawing pad with him everywhere he goes. My seventeen year old son is a leftie. He is always very particular about which pencils he uses. He was more than happy that he could grip these pencils and write with them so comfortably. My nineteen year old college student, an art major, tested the pencils out and was pleased with how smooth you can write or draw with them. He also complimented the eraser strength. All three of my boys are enjoying using BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils.
