First day of school

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My children are home from their first day of school and I asked what they thought of the new Bic Velocity pencils. They both said that the pencils were wonderful and would give them a 10/10. They said the pencils seemed stronger than other mechanical pencils, my daughter said, I used it the whole day and the lead didn't break once! Other pencil leads always break". The only negative comment they had was that the erasers were not as great. They said the erasers smudged/smeared when using them. However

They feel like a pen, but write smooth like a pencil!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't know if I would like these Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils! I am not a big fan of this type of pencil. It maybe because I push too hard when writing and always seem to snap the lead. This pencil is amazing! It feels like you are holding a good quality pen and the lead writes smoothly and I don't have that snap the lead problem! This product has changed my feelings about mechanical pencils and they will be my go to pencils for the kids at school!

Sturdy pencil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bic Velocity mechanical pencils are sturdy and have great grip. I like the covers for the eraser, even though they could get easily lost. The pencils feel good in my kids' hands. They were excited to use them and like them. I did get them free to try, but the review is 100% my opinion. I do like the fact the erasers can be replaced after they are used, so the pencils can be used longer and aren't wasted when the eraser is gone.

Perfect for back to school!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are very nice mechanical pencils. They have nice colors and soft grip and come with extra leads and erasers. One of the nicest thing is that the lead doesn't seem to break as easily as other mechanical pencils. My kids are notorious for pushing to hard and breaking the lead but these survive my kids. The erasers come with caps which is not really necessary but it does keep your eraser in good condition when you press on it for the retractable tip. The leads are #2 so they work for standardized tests. These are truly ideal for back to school!

Better Quality Pencil from Bic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After my kids have been using these mechanical pencils I wanted to add some thoughts. Specifically super satisfied with the quality of these new pencils. They hold up so much better with the thick body and sturdy design. Kids are going thru lead less and even needed to use the extra lead provided. So exited that the extra lead is there though. Kids continue to fight over these pencils and aren't willing to share. I will definitely keep purchasing these pencils with the fun colors and much better quality.

Awesome Mechanical Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these mechanical 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. However, a big plus is that the pack does come with extra erasers. I'd definitely recommend getting a separate eraser though, like one of the the big rectangle ones.
