[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] one thank you Bzzagent for sending me this product for free to try in return for my review. My kids where super pumped to receive these and thought I was the best (they oddly love mechanical pencils). They ripped the pencils open and claimed colors first, I was able to snag 2 for myself. We all tried them out by writing a few letters and words down on a piece of paper. We loved the grip holder made it less achy on our fingers (no indents) the cap for the eraser was neat idea but I did notice a bunch around the house (not back on the pencil) the writing was smooth and reminded me of a pen in a way. the refill was easy to use which is always a plus some just never work. all in all I think my kids and I really enjoyed using and will continue to purchase,.

BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought my son was not going to enjoy these pencils because he typically hates mechanical pencils, but I was wrong. I gave him these for the first day of school and they were a hit. He said the lead was harder than typical mechanical pencils and did not break. When he came home, he immediately took more to have for the rest of the school year. Thank you BIC for changing the lead to make my son happy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that #BICVelocity mechanical pencils are pretty great except for one thing, the metal tip seems to get stuck and the lead ends up breaking.. Not sure why it does that or what could be causing it, but three of them have been doing that. By clicking the top a couple of time it usually fixes the problem though. Other than that I wouldn't change a thing about them. #BICVelocity #GotItFree #BzzAgent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has been using his BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils at school now for two and a half weeks. Since he was starting middle school, he loved the cool factor of these mechanical pencils. The pack came with 5 mechanical pencils and a convenient refill case which included lead and erasers. The bright colors of the pencils really appealed to him and his friends. I noticed recently that he had personalized them a little more by switching the grip portions on the pencils. For example, the yellow pencil now has a blue grip. I liked that he spontaneously added his own creative touch to his school supplies. The pencil write very smoothly and are comfortable to hold. The lead is strong and does not break easily. The only down side that I have found is that my son has already used all the lead from the pencils and all the refill lead. I was surprised that it only lasted two and a half weeks. I don't know, however, if he was sharing lead with friends or loaning his pencils out. I would recommend this product to friends, and he has stated that he would like to get some more refill lead because he likes the pencils. As an Occupational Therapist, I am also planning on using some of the Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils with me students. Getting to use mechanical pencils often motivates them for writing tasks. They also help with natural feedback (lead breaking) for students who press too hard. My students have already asked me when I'm going break open the package on my desk.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bic velocity mechanical pencils are Smooth and flows. Erases completely and I didn't have to force pressure on the lead for dark writing. Nice grip as well. Satisfied overall.

My son was thrilled!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good, once the kids are in school, I will know for sure. My oldest who is in middle school was thrilled to see the pack come in. He loves mechanical pencils and wants to use them over regular pencils as the big kids" use them. He also likes not having to sharp pencils and or worry if the tips break. Stay tuned. As we enter into our school year I will know more about how they work for school (if the school allows them) and we can see how his friends like them as well."

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these pencils are great. The mechanical pencils the LEAD comes out very easily the lead strong and it writes really well. The pencil has an easy grip the Eraser erase is very well and has a nice little cap on it to keep it from falling off are from getting messed up.
