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.

Durable Mechanical Pencil.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencil is a great pencil to use. The comfort grip makes it feel soft and it didn't cramp my fingers after using the pencil for a while. The lead advanced nicely and didn't stick or break off. The tip of the pencil is strong and doesn't get pushed back in if too much pressure gets used like it does with some other pencils. The lead is smooth, writes nicely and doesn't have a scratchy sound to it like some others do. The only problem I can see with the pencil is that you have to remove the eraser to fill it with lead and if the eraser gets used a lot (so it's warn down a lot) it might get hard to remove it to fill with new lead.

Picky teen gives two thumbs up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has favorite pencils". He will turn the house upside down to find one. He left his "favorite" one on vacation so when I got these I asked him to try it out it could be his new favorite. He doodles all the time and he has been using the one I gave him. He said he likes the gripper part."

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Going back to school has been rough, but having pencils my kids actually like using makes life a little easier!!! My high schooler loves them and has no problems with breaking lead and loves he smooth erase. My middle schooler is rough on her pencils and pushes too hard, frequently breaking the lead. The other issue my middle schooler has is pushing he lead out when she erases (again, too hard). Overall, I am pleased!

Great Pencils
on August 28, 2016

from Munster, IN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I popped two of these pencils in my 7th grader's backpack one evening, forgetting to let him know about them the next morning. To my surprise, it was the very first thing my middle school son commented on after getting home from school. He thought the pencil grips were wonderful and couldn't believe how easy it was to write with these new BIC Velocity pencils. (He is used to getting generic mechanical pencils.) He liked the capped eraser, as his erasers are always getting dirty in his bag and leaving smudges, that his teachers dislike, on his papers. He wanted to trade me the rest of his generic pencils for the BIC Velocities. He was not thrilled about the purple and pink ones, and wanted to know if there were packs of plain black ones. If there aren't please make some, BIC!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 7 year old was excited to take these pencils to school! She loved the colors, I loved the refills! They seem to hold up better than the cheaper brands, the lead seems more sturdy and they don't break as easy. We will definitely be buying some more. They not only come with extra lead but also extra erasers! Awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Going back to school for my Master's Degree requires a lot of writing to be done. I have found that Bic Mechanical Pencils to be the best pencils yet and I am so happy that I can complete my classes with these free samples that I received. The writing quality is excellent, the pencils are comfortable to use for hours worth of homework. Overall, I have found that I really needed these pencils and can't be happier.
