[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these pencils! I drew a picture (I'm not a great artist) and they did exactly what I wanted! Smooth writing and easy to hold.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] BIC Velocity mechanical pencils are awesome. They write so smooth and dark. The lead is a lot stronger than other brands.

A Mechanical Pencil Convert

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a classroom teacher, I use pencils constantly. I use them to jot down notes, take attendance, make plans and reflect, and even work next to students. Traditionally I have opted for regular (nonmechanical) pencils because I found regular mechanical pencils flimsy and felt like I had to write more softly, both slowing my handwriting and making it less clear. When the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils arrived, I was super excited to see that they had grips built in, helping to add a little heft to the pencil and making it feel more comfortable and sturdy in my hand. My writing with the pencils was lovely, smooth and even, as a result of the grip and the super smooth lead. I love that the lead doesn't break as easily as other mechanical pencils. I am not constantly breaking lead and wasting money, which is awesome. The extra erasers and extra lead was a huge bonus, too. Now instead of tossing pencils as I run out of lead or finish another eraser, I can keep using the same one! I, reluctantly, parted with some of the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils, adding them to my class shared basket, and my students love them as much as I do. They dig through the basket to find them! I knew they were a win when I overheard the kids, completely unprompted, talking about how nicely the pencils wrote. This teacher is sold. I will be buying BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils for my classroom!

Best Mechanical Pencils Out There

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love these pencils!! They write so smooth. I love that they come in a standard #2 lead so their's no need to buy other pencils. They come in a variety of colors. If you make a mistake writing you can erase without worry it doesn't leave eraser marks. This is our go to mechanical pencil now, to us it's the best pencil out there for us. My kids only use mechanical pencils and they loved how these write compared to others we've purchased in the past.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves her Bic Velocity mechanical pencils! Not only are they great for school, but, she loves to sketch with them too! No more thin, light leads! This pencil is darker than the original Bic Mechanical Pencil and is also refillable. The comfort grip makes drawing easy and it erases clean! My daughter also loves the stylish colors! I highly recommend this pencil!

Color Variety

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids were excited about seeing and using these cool looking mechanical pencils. From a boy's perspective, there was just one problem - the color selection. If I were to purchase a 5-pack of pencils, his selection was limited to just three due to the pink and purple. The only boy" colors are blue & orange. He wished that there was a green or red. Another option would be to have a pack for girls and boys. This would allow more choices for both genders. From a cost perspective

Awesome Mechanical Pencils!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these pencils! They are made really well! The lead is strong and does not break easily. The lead also writes nice and dark. The erasers are durable too. The grip on the pencils are very comfortable and soft. They are very comfortable to hold while you're writing. I really like that they came with additional lead refills and addition erasers. My son can't wait to use these when school starts. He has always liked to use mechanical pencils versus regular pencils. He has already used them and really likes them. The colors are awesome and vibrant! If you like mechanical pencils you will love these!
