[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When couldn't wait to get into the our package of BIC® Velocity® Mechanical Pencils when they came. The kids were excited to get their favorite colored pencil to use for their homework. Both kids love to use mechanical pencils but because the lead would always break off, they were clicking for more lead or would run out, we stopped using them. The new BIC® Velocity® Mechanical Pencils seem to withstand the pressure of bearing down when they write and actually got finished with their work. Thank you for allowing us to give them a try, you have a life long customer now.

Passed the test so far!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our kids have been in school for 7 weeks now and their BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils are still going strong!
We have purchased many different mechanical pencils over the years (with putting 5 kids through school) and they always tend to break easy, not load properly or just in general break! The kids now do not like to use the "Old Fashion" #2 style pencils so we just had to continue to purchase new packages through out the year. The BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils are very well made. We have not had any problems with them feeding through or breaking on us. They write very smooth with a nice, dark lead. Though still erase nicely when needed. The kids love the different colors and the nice cushion around the base for writing.
I am pretty sure these pencils will for sure last us until the end of the school year on how durable they are! We will no longer shop for any other cheap mechanical pencils that are out there.

Loving Them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids have been using these a full month at school and they love them. The extra erasers and lead have given them ample supply to last a long while. The bright colors make it easy for them to know which pencil is theirs. Their papers have smooth, dark, and easy-to-read lines. I haven't seen any tear marks from poor erasers either! They love them and so do I!

We Love BIC® Velocity® Mechanical Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids were all very thrilled to get BIC® Velocity® Mechanical Pencils, so many kids now use mechanical pencils. These pencils are very nice though, I even use a pink one myself for jotting down things, grocery lists, and figuring out my bills. I love the way that they write, they feel and look like they always write so clearly and smooth. The lead seems a little harder than normal mechanical pencil lead. I seriously feel like I am using a ball point pen. They are the best mechanical pencils I have ever used. They even make my chicken scratching look nice and neat!

Two thumbs up by a 15 year old....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our 15 year old daughter will only use mechanical pencils so the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils was the perfect test product for her!
I have had a hard time actually seeing her handwriting with other pencils, but the BIC Velocity had dark lead which was clear to read. The lead did not break easily and the eraser was her favorite part (she said it last forever and doesn't leave eraser marks on the paper).
As a whole we liked the BIC Velocity pencils and will keep them on our school supply list.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the lead is smooth the colors are like sherbert and the erasers actually work. I like that the leads don't break easily unless pressed really hard. My daughter uses these mostly to draw and occassionaly for math homework. She loves them. The grip is really nice also
