Best Mechanical Pencils we have tried!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter uses mechanical pencils all the time for school so when BzzAgent contacted me and asked us to try these BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils, we were very excited. The first thing we noticed when we opened the package was that the pencil seemed to be a little bit thicker than the normal mechanical pencils my daughter was used to but this wasn't a problem at all. The pencils were definitely brighter and more colorful than her regular mechanical pencils as well so she was very happy about that. The best part about these pencils though was that the lead was so much thicker and stronger!!! You didn't have to worry about it breaking every little bit while you were trying to write! That sold us on these BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils! They are definitely worth it!

Great Pencils, but...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are heavy users of mechanical pencils in our household, so we were excited to receive these. The colors are great, the pencils are sturdy, and they write very well. I have one issue: when we use the eraser, the lead in the pencil gets pushed out so when you turn it down to write again, you have to push the lead back into the pencil. Not a huge deal, but an inconvenience that we do not have with other mechanical pencils.

Mechanical Pencils Just Fine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] That's what both my 16 y.o. and my 14 y.o. said when I asked them what they thought of these pencils. They are just fine". My 14 y.o. did say that she likes the cover on the eraser but otherwise they are just like other mechanical pencils."

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used these pencils quite a bit especially with my kids who have been using Summer bridge books and I have to say I have never seen a pencil that is as dependable and smooth as Bic velocity. Many mechanical pencils that I have used are very rough and the eraser is horrible and always leave black smudges but I've yet to come across any of these issues with the velocity pencils. I'm so excited because my kids love to use mechanical pencils and now I don't mind spending a little bit extra for a mechanical pencil that is actually worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son enjoyed writing with these pencils and always has one with him at all times. He enjoys drawing with the Velocity pencils the best, because they have strong lead, dont break easily, and the outcome is very smooth. He even passed out the some to his classmates and they all loved them!

So far I love them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was waiting till the kids start school to have them uses them but decided to use them myself. I love the way theses pencils write. Seems the lead" is stronger and less likely to break repeatedly like the cheaper machanical pencils. The only thing I don't like is the clear eraser cover due out the fact that I place it down and have trouble finding it or knocking it off the counter."

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these are some of the best pencils I've used. They draw and write so smooth. My son who's a artist loves to use them to draw
