Great Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great mechanical pencils for my child to use. The lead doesn't seem to break very often, and the eraser erases without leaving hardly any trace of what was erased....and she doesn't have to bore a hole in the paper erasing!

Velocity Review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids have had great success using these pencils! They always prefer mechanical to traditional and have said these are much smoother than what they normally use. My daughter likes to sketch and the velocity pencils have been great for her. The pencils also erase well so she is pleased with that! I would definitely recommend the velocity pencils to students! They have been a hit in my house!

Won't Open

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son is going into his freshman year of high school, and he will not open the pack of mechanical pencils. This kid is treating them like gold. He sees how nice the ones his sister has are. He tried hers out and they write nice and smooth. The lead doesn't snap right off. He said the eraser even works great. I guess he is just making sure he has them all nice and together for school.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Variety of colors. Writes smoothly with out that annoying dry sound. Doesn't break lead as much as other brands we have used. All in all a pretty awesome pencil.

easy writing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think Bic Velocity mechanical pencils are great! Not only do they write cleanly and smoothly, they erase without any black streaks! The lead is strong and dark. The variety of colorful cases can brighten any writing task. When you run out of lead, that's ok, they're refillable too!

Not for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the colors, the eraser cap and the comfort in my hand. However, I did not like the pencils themselves. I could not get the lead to not break no matter how soft I wrote or how hard I pressed. Also the eraser did not erase completely. Sorry to be brutal.

BIC Velocity - The proof is in the pencil!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We're big fans of mechanical pencils, and I honestly don't remember the last time my children asked me to buy those plain, boring yellow #2 pencils. When my boys tore into my BzzAgent package of BIC Velocity mechanical pencils, they immediately put them to use. As a parent, I love that these pencils are convenient to use and don't require sharpening. I also love that they're ready to go right out of the package. The boys remarked several times about the smooth tips and how they seemed to glide over the paper they were drawing on. The barrels are very easy to grip and the lead is thick and dark, so whatever you write or draw comes out clear and vivid. Erasing didn't create a mess either, like it does with regular pencils, and that is a huge plus. The package comes in a wide assortment of fun colors, so you can easily pick and choose a different color for every day of the week, and these colors are suitable for both boys AND girls. The container that houses the lead refills is sturdy and holds up much better in my son's crowded backpack than the flimsy breakable containers that so often come with other brands of mechanical pencils. After sampling the Velocity variety, I'm positive our family of four will never settle for boring yellow #2 pencils ever again. Kudos to BIC for another wonderful product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son started 9th grade this year. Big Highschooler!! He of course waited til the morning of the first day of school to panic about his supplies. He ran around the house trying to find pencils that he would actually use, and yelling how we had no such pencils... I however had a package of Big Velocity Pencils waiting for him. He didn't say it.. but i know he was pretty happy with me... I mean he smiled!
