[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter prefers mechanical pencils over other pencils. However, I do not purchase them for her because they can sometimes be expensive. She loved these pencils! The only problem is that I have not seen them in the store so I can buy more for the future. :-\

Back to school has never been better with Bic Velocity Mecha

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No more standing in line at the pencil sharpener for my kids with these awesome new BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils. I have two daughters ages 14 and 16, both girls are back to school and are loving these great pencils. My 16 year old actually told me that one of her teachers borrowed it to sign something and he wanted to keep it because it was cool" his words. The girls both say they write very smooth and have had minimal breakage which has been their complaint in the past with mechanical pencils. I used them today when filling out some school paperwork they needed from me and I was very impressed. I would definitely seek them out in the future when shopping for pencils. So glad BzzAgent and BIC allowed me to give them a try for free!~"

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the extra strength lead. My daughter says it rarely breaks and she has even shared her pencils with friends in her class. They make learning easier because she is able to concentrate on her work with the distraction of broken lead.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the protective cusion on the pencils. These are all my Daughter wants to use,and i have yet to find ones that are reliable enough to justify spending the money on. These will do it. Obviously the fun colors make them enticing for kids which is a pluse. I like that with these the LED doesnt seem to break as easy as most other mechanical pencils. That for me sealed the deal that my daughter is allowed to use these for school! # gotit free #bicvelocity

Not My Fave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While I love the bright colors these pencils come in, I was not impressed with my writing experience. They squeaked horribly when I would write with them. While it's probably just a personal problem, it was bothersome enough for me to avoid using these pencils.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter was so excited to get these in the mail. They are her absolute favorite brand of mechanical pencil. They are more durable than other brands and work much better than others that we have tried. We also love the bright vibrant colors that they come in as well as the extra leads in the package. We shared the second pack and some of the coupons with her friends from school and told their moms about the pencils since we are all shopping for back to school supplies.

Awesome mechanical pencil!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The back of the pencil is unremarkable; a clear plastic cap covers a small, white, barely functional eraser (it works about as well as most mechanical pencil erasers). This assembly can be pushed down to activate the lead advance mechanism. Just down from this is a plastic clip, functionally all right, with the pencil?s information written on it. Down from there, the body is clear and straight until it get to the rubberized grip section where it bulges then hourglasses, creating a nice place to rest your fingers. The little cap cone after this is clear, and has the metal tip floating inside so that is retracts when the lead is retracted, preventing the tip from getting caught on anything. Writing is fine. The lead is standard. It doesn?t break much, goes on smoothly enough and dark enough for school or office work. There is no advanced shock absorber or lead turning to prevent any damage, though, but at the price, that?s teetering on the edge of reason. The grip is comfortable enough to get one through writing or drawing without too much trouble. It doesn?t slip and isn?t too narrow. The overall construction is solid, and it feels like it won?t break in your hand. Overall, the Velocity is fine. It isn?t the best mechanical pencil ever, and it has no real features, but it?s solidly and relatively comfortably built. It is fairly inexpensive and comes with enough refills of erasers and lead to last the user for some time. As far as inexpensive options go for mechanical pencils, it?s a good one, but there?s nothing special about it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils. I love that I never have to sharpen a pencil when Im using it. I love the grip between my fingers and that its easy to refill. The pencils are made better than competitive brands and are made so much better. I highly recommend purchasing Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils whether its for school, homework, the office or everyday use.
