To use eraser or not to use eraser
on August 1, 2016
Posted by: MARTOCCIA
from Columbus, IN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this pencil. It writes and feels like a pen in my hand. The only thing that I am not 100% sure of is the eraser. I love how it erases. I erases very well and again, because the pencil feels so good in my hand, it is easy to hold to erase whatever. The problem that I came across and it took me a few times to figure it out was that when I am erasing, the pencil lead comes out. The first few times, not realizing it had come out, when I went to use the pencil and lead was out pretty far, I wondered who had done it. Yesterday, as I was using the eraser, I realized I am the one that was doing it. I think the lead comes out pretty easily which is fine and nice when I am writing and need it to come out, but when I don't want it to come out, then a big piece of lead is wasted and trust me, I don't want to waste any of the lead because I love to write with the pencil

Bit Velocity handles mess-ups

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has CP. He has trouble with writing and mechanical pencils. These have become his go to pencil now! Before he always had to use thick #2 pencils, because he was able to hold on to them better. He can now handle mechanical pencils and this is the first set of #BICVelocity pencils and he loves them. He's all set now for school and couldn't be more happier!!

Pretty Cool Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the new Bic Velocity pencils. I like that fact that they write smoothly. It seems to have a thicker lead compared to other brands. I notice the darkness of the lead is a tad bit darker than other brands as well. I like that the pencils come in fun colors as well as with an extra package of lead. I also like the fact that it comes with grips on the pencil for your fingers.

Loved them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the BIC Velocity mechanical pencils were awesome. Love the pretty colors of the pencils as a woman we love pretty things:). As a carpel tunnel person I found them very easy to hold and write with my hand actually had no problem writing a letter while using the pencil. I loved the smoothness of the lead I did not break the lead once while writing and due to the hard pressure when I write this is a common problem for me. The rubber part that my fingers hold to write made the pencil so comfortable to hold. I even gave my high school daughter a few pencils for school she loved them stating these are the best mechanical pencils I ever used. I did Gand out several coupons to my coworkers who are teachers and they were eager to try the Velocity pencils. Once again BIC you came up with an awesome product :).

Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils
on August 1, 2016
Posted by: RobTiffplus5
from Georgetown, IN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to receive this in the mail! I could not wait to try these pencils! I must admit I am weary of mechnical pencils are I haven't had the best experience using them (repeated broken lead, running out of lead, smeared erase marks). As soon as I opened the box, I was truly impressed. The colors of the pencils are so bright and fun and each pack comes with not only 5 pencils, but extra lead and erasers! I am used to having to purchase extra lead, so seeing erasers and lead in a neat little plastic container was awesome! Now to see if they work as well as they look! I grabbed whatever I could find (which happened to be an envelope) and started writing with the yellow pencil that I grabbed from the pack! Wow! It wrote so smoothe and erased very clean". I even like the little cap over the eraser. I had to grab a notebook and continue try them out so more because I ran out of room on my envelope. The Bic Velocity mechanical pencils are constructed extremely well too. They are made up of thick plastic and have a comfortable finger grip as well! I am pretty sure that it will take a while to go through a whole pack of these pencils as they are made very well. The lead writes so smoothe and I was waiting to break a piece off but honesty I haven't broken any lead since I used them! Again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So first of all i was curious i don't like mechanical pencil first of all because lead breaks of easily and i jave to keep buying some. I was really surprise how well the lead held up awsome strong smooth lead dark too. It erase good to the point where i couldn't see where i had erased. My kid's love the color's but the best part about is the sat down and wrote for no reason at all if my kid's like it then momma loves it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From the comfort grip, to the writing quality, to the effectiveness of the eraser, this pencil has it all. This pencil holds up with heavy use, and lasts quite a bit longer than other mechanical pencils.My children love this.

Bic has my vote for the best pencil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] BICÆ VelocityÆ Mechanical Pencils the perfect accessory heading into the new school year? For starters, they never need sharpening like standard #2 pencils do. And with all the cool colors available, the smooth and refillable leads and the fact that the strong lead erases cleanly, they?re perfect for tests and note taking!
