BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils Rock!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ever since I was in high school I have loved using mechanical pencils. There was always a sharp point and I didn't have to go looking for a pencil sharpener. For me, the one thing I wanted to know before getting the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils was how readily available the lead refills would be. There is nothing worse than running out of lead and not being able to find the correct lead refill. Thankfully, refills are easily located. I had my son try it out first. And he loved them, especially the different colors (not the pink because it was too girly for him) and the cushion grip, as he tends to hold pencils and pens with a tight grip (me too). Our inventory of stubby pencils have finally decreased!

smooth as butter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do a lot of writing for work purposes. I have used the regular #2 pencils and I have used mechanical pencils. Both have their disadvantages. Pencils have a habit of breaking at the most inopportune times. The Bic velocity pencil was different. First thing I noticed was the comfort grip. When you write as much as I do and you have carpal tunnel, comfort is everything and this pencil has it. Secondly, it writes as smooth as butter. Other pencils have a jagged, almost skip like when writing. Not this pencil. Mistakes are cleaned easily, leaving no messy residue or pencil smudging. I suppose parents would say these were good for kids but I think they are perfect for adults as well. I work in a public bus yard, I have to write down the bus locations for over 200 buses. This in itself can be a tedious job, then I have to write out the bus assignments. Previously, my hand would get tired but with these pencils, I find myself not needing to stop as often. Definitely a plus for someone with a tiresome hand.

My new favorite pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love everything about BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils. I tend to push really hard when I write and I despise constantly having to click new lead out. Well these Velocity pencils have some super strong lead that rarely breaks on me. On top of that, they are very comfortable to write with and have a grip that keeps the pencil from slipping. Highly recommend!

Kid tested and parent approved!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils arrived just in time for the new school Year! The kids go through so many pencils and sharpeners each year, I was happy to try the new BIC Velocity mechanical pencils! I kept the pink one for myself and absolutely LOVE It! It fits perfectly in your hand, the eraser is of good quality and it flows smoothly while writing. The lead is strong and of good quality. The kids have been using for a few weeks now and really like that the lead doesn't break easily. The erasers stay in place and do not disintegrate rapidly. Overall great product! I will continue to purchase more when these run out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these pencils are what kids need. They glide smoothly and the lead doesn't break often. My son says he is able to erase without tearing the paper. We actually bought 10 more packs to give to his school.

Perfect for school

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I homeschool my kids and we are constantly battling broken lead. I love watching my kids doodle and doodle until their pencil is completely out of lead. More then ever, they stop whatever productive activity they are doing because once their lead breaks, they don't want to read sharpen. Now I've watched them sit for hours and doodle draw and write. I couldn't be happier, and neither can they!
