Mountains of MCAT notes and NO blisters!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] How is this even possible?! These pencils were so comfortable that I actually didn't get blisters from all my note taking. I used to think all mechanical pencils were the same...CLEARLY not anymore! Not only are they cute and comfy, but they erased so nicely when I messed up (hate when you can see traces) AND the lead didn't break even though I write pretty hard. I am so pleased with these pencils! BIC truly raised the bar. So happy! :)

Best. Grandma. EVER.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I let two of my grandkids choose two BIC Velocity pencils each to start off their school year. Such a small thing, especially as BIC was kind enough to send them to me free; I though nothing of it. My granddaughter is in a new area, new school, and a little shy. We were talking earlier this week and she was telling me how a girl sitting next to her borrowed one of her pencils and ended up sitting with her at lunch, talking about the cool, bright colors and how 'neat' the pencil was. Apparently, she had not used a good mechanical pencil before. Of course, my grandson (just started high school) is just too cool. His biggest problem is that he has to keep the pencils at school to save them from his younger brothers...AND his mom, who finally broke down and used one of the coupons I gave her to buy a pack for herself. It's the little things. The things that I pass along and share are the things the kids remember most that make me feel like the best grandma ever.

3rd grader does great with them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My third grader push down pretty hard when he writes making it hard to use mechanical pencils. I gave him one of these to try and I was impressed that he didn't break it nearly as much as he was with other mechanical pencils. He was excited because he got to use them. The colors are nice colors too.

BICÆ VelocityÆ Mechanical Pencils
on September 14, 2016
Posted by: tammypitt2
from Dallas, TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has been using the purple BIC mechanical pencil since the beginning of 6th grade this year. It is now the only pencil he uses at school because it doesn't have to be sharpened and the lead does not break. My son uses a lot of pressure on a pen or pencil when he writes and most mechanical pencil will break because they use the standard 0.5 mm leads. The BICÆ VelocityÆ Mechanical Pencils use a thicker 0.77mm lead that does not break as often as the normal lead. He also likes the clear plastic eraser lid, but wishes they were included in the lead and eraser refill package because he lost the lid at school. I had to use the lid from one of the other pencils to replace the one he lost.

Velocity #2 pencils better than any others
on September 14, 2016
Posted by: mrsfitzpatrick
from Columbia, TN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My opinion of the BIC Velocity mechanical pencils is that they are WONDERFUL. I love the bright colors of the pencils themselves. They are not the typical black plastic that most other mechanical pencils come in. The #2 lead writes smoothly and almost fluidly. It doesn't smear easily which can be a problem with other pencils. The lead erases easily, and the eraser doesn't leave behind much debris. The fact that the pencils come with extra lead and erasers are a plus. I can refill my favorite color (orange) and keep it in my purse at all times. The BIC Velocity pencils get an A+ in my mind. LOVE them. Fun colors, and functional. Well made product. Thank you BIC.

Strong lead and good eraser

from New Berlin, WI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids just love these BICÆ VelocityÆ Pencils. The lead writes dark and clear on paper. It is super smooth and easy for my new writers to use, even with their little hands. And no matter how dark they write, they can always erase everything pretty easily. My kids all love the fun and vibrant colors. Everyone has a different color that they use so they know which one is theirs. No fighting! All of them love to do their homework now that they have these fun new pencils. They have been a great addition to their school supplies.

from Lake Butler, FL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i have to say since receiving the new BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencil son is excited for math. We love the ease of use adn how smooth they write. He likes that he doesn't have to use a sharpener anymore just click the top. I also love that refilling the pencils are easy and that the colors are bright so more lost pencils. Overall a great pencil that i highly recommend.
