[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually stick to the packs of BIC pencils that have 24 cheap pencils in them, but I am so glad I bought these! I was actually a little apprehensive when I first ordered them - I only bought them because a friend loaned me his and I lost the pencil cap and I felt soooo bad I just had to replace his. But, they have become my favorite lead based writing utensil! Anyway, personally I think these pencils are great. They write very smoothly. I haven't had an issue with putting too much pressure and having the lead snap. My friend who actually has this issue with a lot of pencils doesn't have it with these either. The erasers on these pencils are pretty nice too. They don't seem to disintegrate into tiny specks like ones on cheaper mechanical pencils. They also don't make that horrible 'noise' that the pink erasers do either, which is great. One thing I do dislike about these though is that they get used up pretty quickly. I've been mainly only using the pink pencil and eraser is about halfway gone already and it's only been about 3 weeks since I got these. It's a little disappointing, but the pack does come with extra erasers. I'd definitely recommend getting a separate eraser though, like one of the the big rectangle ones. Speaking of erasers, one thing I don't understand is the caps. The erasers have caps on them. ...Why? The whole cap thing is why I had to get these in the first place. I think they're supposed to prevent having the lead get pushed out accidentally while you have the pencils in your bag or a case or something. However, upon trying out these pencils for the first time, I immediately lost two of the caps. They're clear so they are very difficult to find if you misplace them. Be careful. These pencils seem to be pretty durable. I've had one of mine roll of my desk and get kicked across the classroom several times and stepped on once and it hasn't cracked or anything. These might actually be suitable for children and clumsy people like myself. The design of these is just great too in my opinion. The look is very sleek and the colors are so attractive. My favorites are the pink and orange. I honestly don't see too many orange mechanical pencils. The yellow is great too. It actually looks even brighter and more neon in person than in the photo. The blue one is just blue - there's nothing much to say about it. They all look pretty nice. I may even go so far as to say they look /sharp/. Because they're pencils. Do you get my joke? Overall, I definitely think these are worth the price. They'll last you a long time and save you money in the long run if you are like me and used to keep buying the huge packs cheaper pencils every few months

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids were drawn to BIC Velocity pencils due to the style and colors. Once they stared writing they stated the writing style made their writing appear so beautiful. They are also comfortable on the hands. I was left with only one after my kids took them all. Absolutely getting more packs to stock up for the rest of the school year. Right in time for back to school.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy these pencils. The fact that you get extra lead and erasers is also great. The kids love them and we can't believe how smoothly they write. I have told friends about #BzzAgent and how I #GotItFree for testing them. I have given out coupons and mist of the pencils.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think there great. They're easy to use and refilling them is a breeze. The kids love all the different colors and the fact that they have grippers on them also is a huge plus. The lead seems to be easy to erase with out leaving behind messy eraser marks. #gotitfree #bzzagent #BICVElocity

Great pencils with great design!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to admit that I've been out of school for years and have rarely picked up a mechanical pencil since, but my son recently graduated from the wooden barrels to mechanical pencils. First off, I have to say that the lead is great--my son used to complain about the friction when using other leads. I do think that the best feature is the eraser--finally a pencil that erases as well as it writes! I am glad that my days of sharpening are behind me, and he loves the pop of color, especially his favorite blue BIC Velocity mechanical pencil.

BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these pencils are very useful. Not only because school year is coming up, but at home and for other activities. They write real easy and the lead doesn't break so easily. The numerous things you can do from writing,drawing,and doodling is really wonderful because it shows up well without having to erase much at all. Stronger lead and the kids enjoy being able to try something new. They are excited to use during school .This is especially useful when they are always drawing.
