Love the Velocity Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Day one, opening the package, my 12-year-old daughter took one out, wrote with it for a few minutes, then promptly started stealing all the good colors! Then I took them along to a weekend with my friends and they decided that they're 'good enough to steal', meaning if you borrow it to use for a second you would probably walk away with it! I guess I need to keep mine on a string when I go back to school in a few weeks. I love how dark they write, unlike many mechanical pencils that are so light you can barely read it. The grip fits my hand just right, very comfortable. Having a cover on the eraser is a great idea. I find lots of these erasers lying around my classroom, hopefully that will help hold them in better. My only suggestion would be to make the eraser longer but I like that extras are included.

Smooth and colorful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Office supply stores are my happy place, and new writing instruments are my favorite things to buy, so getting to test out the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils was pretty awesome for this working mom. I took most of the pack to work with me, but also sent 2 to school with my 7th grader this morning when she left for her very first day of junior high. The Velocity pencils have a very smooth grip and feel nice to the touch, and I hope they'll withstand the hours of note taking that I'm sure my oldest will encounter soon. One of the BEST things about this pack of pencils was the inclusion of extra lead and extra erasers. There's no doubt that you have the correct size of each, and they are in a handy case to keep them safe. Big bonus points there.

Terrific pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I typically loathe mechanical pencils but these are an exception. Normally I find them too clunky in my hand. This pencil has a smooth, not overly large barrel and soft-textured grip. The lead is a smooth 0.7 which is a good size for me because I tend to write with a lot of pressure. Finer leads tend to snap a lot with me. One awesome feature - the eraser has a removable cover. No more funky eraser tips after lots of clicking. They are packaged in fives with additional lead and eraser tips in a sealed tube. I would absolutely purchase these for myself, my office and my son (who is super hard on pencils) because I know they would hold up to a little abuse and keep going. My only ding would be please make these in less flashy colors. I am not inclined to bring these into a meeting with clients for example, but for my personal office use/kid's use, they are just fine. I received these pencils gratis from BIC in exchange for my opinion.

Wonderful Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are truly great, they write smoothly and the lead is dark and does not fade. The vibrant colors make writing fun. The erasers work well, and I love that there is a cap for them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These mechanical pencils are amazing! I love the way the lead just flows across the paper. There's no skipping or abrupt stopping! I have found my new pencils :)

Homeschooling Heros

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I feel like these are a great product. I really like the durability. I like how when you push out the lead that (im not sure how to explain this in words) it is kind of made like an ink pen. There is a -what I call a lead protector that pushes out first and then the lead comes out from that. -I sure hope you understand what I am saying here! lol -Anyhow, I also like how crisp and dark the lead writes. The other brands of mechanical pencils are flimsy and the lead breaks over and over. I waste more than I actually use. We are homeschoolers so we do lots of writing and these are super cute, colorful and super functional! Thanks for letting me try them out. :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome Bic Velocity mechanical pencils I've ever tried, They are easy to refill and to change the eraser's. My 13 year old daughter loves them too since she uses them to draw her anime characters.
