[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils will be a most add to our back so school supply list. My kids are a fan of using mechanical pencils, especially the older ones and they loved these when they gave them a try. They actually already split them up among themselves haha I was lucky to be left with one for myself. The colors are great, easy to grip, writes smoothly and easy to erase

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids and I have been testing these pencils out I have made my grocery list out with them and the kids have been drawing with them and the dark smooth color has made writing so easy and fun for the kids and I noticed how easy the eraser cleans any mistakes that I have made with ease I will be repurchasing these in the future! #GotItFree #BICVelocity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely Love the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils! Both of my kids (10&12) of course had to have on their Back to School lists, and they've already fallen in love with these! The lead writes so dark and perfect! They can't wait to use them at school!

Buzzing all the way back to school!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just in time for back to school! My kids were excited when they saw the BIC Velocity pencils! They come in beautiful colors! So I (with the help of my daughters) have been testing these pencils out! I have been using BIC for years and have used a lot of mechanical pencils in my day but these, I have to say are my hands down favorite! It's true, they write smoother and the lead is darker. But the fact they have a lot of lead and comes with an extra eraser for all 5 pencils in the package is awesome, especially when you have kids who can be pretty hard on them! But my favorite thing about these is the built in grip! They are so easy to hold onto! My kids will enjoy taking tests with these! Ok, maybe I am putting too much pressure on these pencils now...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i am happy that they have made a pencil a little bit thicker and the lead stronger. the lead breaking all the time is very annoying so its nice that the lead in this pencil is stronger. the bright colors are pretty and i can spot them easily. the comfort grips stop the pencil from digging into my fingers which is a plus!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] School supplies are very important and one of my favorite things. I am a seventh grade math teacher with two boys of my own going into 8th grade. As a teacher, I am very picky about school supplies. They have to be reliable, comfortable, an extension of your hand. You should not ever have to get frustrated by a pencil. Bic Velocity is great! They don't break all the time, like some mechanical pencils. You are not going to run out of eraser before lead with the extra erasers provided. Extra lead is provided as well. And the point stays sharp and thin, which is important when you are working on math. A+ to Bic Velocity. I will be buying these pencils for my own kids and putting them on my school supply list for my students.

Best mechanical pencil ever!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hesitant to accept BzzAgent's offer to try the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils. My 13 year old son talked me in to it saying we could always donate them. My previous experiences with mechanical pencils weren't good. They were not comfortable to hold, the lead broke constantly and they were scratchy to write with. So would could possibly be different this time?
When my son and I opened to box he immediately said "well they look nice, and you even get extra lead and erasers". I was impressed to see both of these items included with the pencils. I also have to say the pencils did look nice and the packaging was very eye catching.
We each took a pencil from the package and decided to test them out. It was love at first word for both of us. The pencils themselves were comfortable to hold, there was no scratch writing like other mechanical pencils. The BIC Velocity was without a doubt the smoothest pencil I have every used. And having been an art student at one time believe my I have used many pencils in my life! The eraser did a perfect job and didn't leave large white eraser shavings all over the paper like other pencils.
I am so glad my son talked me in to trying the pencils. We both love them and after trying the BIC Velocity I can honestly say I don't see myself or my son using any other kind of pencil.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to be apart of the BIC Velocity pencils campaign and when I told my daughter about it, she was more excited than I was! She loves the colors and the comfort grip, and I love how the lead is clean, strong and easy to erase! Definitely will be purchasing for school!
