We had a few issues
on August 30, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] School just started for us, so I eagerly broke open the pack to fill up pencil cases for the kids. Boy was I disappointed when two were not working right out of the pack! These came with blue, orange, yellow, pink and purple colors. My son really wanted the blue and orange and, sure enough, they were the broken ones. Luckily there was no issue with the other pack of 5. The ones that did work were great. However, if I had paid for a pack of five and only gotten three that were useable, I would have been extremely unhappy. Hence, the three stars. I've included a photo. It's kind of hard to see, but on the blue one the retracting tip doesn't stay out once clicked. Only the lead comes out so its not stabilized and will break off when you write with it. The pink one is how it should look. They do write nicely, are comfortable in hand and I love the extra lead that's included!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Firstly, I love the colors. Secondly, these are pretty durable. My boys tend write too rough with mechanical pencils and wind up breaking off the tips. So far they have used the same ones since the start of school (little over a month) and they're still going strong. Lastly, and the most important is they are affordable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these pencils. In fact, I had a difficult time sharing them with others. The only thing I have an issue with is when I am erasing, the mechanism for advancing the lead seems to be sensitive". Not sure how else to better explain it. I have not noticed that problem with other mechanical pencils. Other than that

Great Quality Mechanical Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils are some of my favorite mechanical pencils! They came with 5 in the pack of various colors as well as a little container with five extra erasers and twelve 0.7 lead refills, which I really like because it lets my kids use the pencils a lot longer without having to buy them new ones. The eraser on these pencils is covered with a cap so it doesn't get dirty in the kids' backpacks. It isn't the best eraser I have seen on a pencil but it does the job well enough. As for the lead, I have not had any problems with it breaking. Overall a great mechanical pencil for school that my kids like to use! I got these pencils free from BIC to try.

They feel like a pen, but write smooth like a pencil!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't know if I would like these Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils! I am not a big fan of this type of pencil. It maybe because I push too hard when writing and always seem to snap the lead. This pencil is amazing! It feels like you are holding a good quality pen and the lead writes smoothly and I don't have that snap the lead problem! This product has changed my feelings about mechanical pencils and they will be my go to pencils for the kids at school!

Smooth Writing
on August 30, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils that BzzAgent sent me to try are the best mechanical pencil that I have ever used. The BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils have the look of a pen and also have a finger grip to better hold the pencil while you are writing. These pencils write so smooth! I am very picky when it comes to the type of pens and pencils that I use, and these pencils fit the bill. They erase cleanly, which is important for my children while they are doing their school work, and it makes my work appear more professional since I can erase mistakes cleanly. The package of 5 mechanical pencils come with a tube of replacement lead and a tube of replacement erasers. I like to separate school supplies by color coding them for each of my children. I love the colors that the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils come in, and I can easily divvy them up among my children.
