[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just got these in the mail and so far I love them! They are comfortable to write with, very smooth writing and great erasing!! One of my biggest pet peeves is when the lead doesn't erase well! Looking forward to having my boys use these for school.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just received the pencils the other day & my daughter was so excited! She is in 10th grade so apparently the apoearance of pencils is important-and these last the test with flying colors! She was super impressed that they came with extra erasers as most mechanical pencils do not. They also came with extra lead, so they will definitely last for more than a week-which is the best part for me! They can't wait to use them and show them off at school!! Great job!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I got invited to this campaign, I knew my daughter was gonna be happy. She is a mechanical pencil fanatic!!! As soon as she received my package she put them to use... and she LOVES them sooo much, NEW PENCILS FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR!! She says they write so smooth and the lead is strong when she writes firmly. They are a HIT!! and the variety of color they come in is super fun. I think anyone who loves mechanical pencils will love these. She has been working on homework ever since so I am a HAPPY MOM!! Thanks BIC

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these mechanical pencils are the the best I have ever used. They write so beautifully and so easy to refill the lead. My kids are so excited for homeschooling to start in a few weeks. They find every excuse to use these pencils now. My 16 year old daughter is an amazing artist and draws everyday with these pencils. She loves how great her pictures come out. I love to see her pictures and her so happy about a pencil.

LOVE THE PRODUCT

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually stick to the packs of BIC pencils that have 24 cheap pencils in them, but I am so glad I bought these! I was actually a little apprehensive when I first ordered them - I only bought them because a friend loaned me his and I lost the pencil cap and I felt soooo bad I just had to replace his. But, they have become my favorite lead based writing utensil!
Anyway, personally I think these pencils are great. They write very smoothly. I haven't had an issue with putting too much pressure and having the lead snap. My friend who actually has this issue with a lot of pencils doesn't have it with these either.
The erasers on these pencils are pretty nice too. They don't seem to disintegrate into tiny specks like ones on cheaper mechanical pencils. They also don't make that horrible 'noise' that the pink erasers do either, which is great. One thing I do dislike about these though is that they get used up pretty quickly. I've been mainly only using the pink pencil and eraser is about halfway gone already and it's only been about 3 weeks since I got these. It's a little disappointing, but the pack does come with extra erasers. I'd definitely recommend getting a separate eraser though, like one of the the big rectangle ones.
Speaking of erasers, one thing I don't understand is the caps. The erasers have caps on them. ...Why? The whole cap thing is why I had to get these in the first place. I think they're supposed to prevent having the lead get pushed out accidentally while you have the pencils in your bag or a case or something. However, upon trying out these pencils for the first time, I immediately lost two of the caps. They're clear so they are very difficult to find if you misplace them. Be careful.

Setting lead mechanical pencils make it the kids' new fave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always hated the weak lead of mechanical pencils, and I detested when the pointy end would snag my sleeve of something in my purse. When Bic came out with these mechanical pencils, they must have interviewed lots of people like me, because this pencil addressed all of my disappointments in mechanical pencils. This product is first, coloful. Next, it is solid and sturdy in my hand. The lead is so strong that even my lefty sensory boy couldn't break the lead while writing. I even asked him to write like he normally does; the lead was steadfast, which says alot. The picture shows both of my kiddos trying the pencils for the first time. Best of all, the point end retracts inside, so my sleeves are saved. The only negative comes from my husband who prefers the 0.5mm over this thicker 0.7mm, but I like the thicker lead. Bic is too awesome. This is such a great product. I'm impressed.
