[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have heard of BIC before, who hasn't, they have been around for a long time. However, I have never heard of the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils before, I was curious to see how different they were from the rest of the mechanical pencils out on the market. These new BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils are an excellent choice for back to school. Their design, quality and craftsmanship are exceptional. They feel really nice in your hand, not like most mechanical pencils which are too skinny to grip. They are comfortable to use and they write really nice. The lead is perfect, not too light or dark, and it does not smear. These pencils will be a great addition for my children's back to school supplies.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These BICÆ VelocityÆ Mechanical Pencils are great for everyday use. The lead writes smoothly?no little lead flakes left behind on your work?and produces a dark, thick stroke to your letters. The barrel of the pencil is more like that of a pen, so I think they are more comfortable to write with than the cheaper version of BIC?s mechanical pencils. The other thing that I like is that the pencils come with an extra supply of lead AND ERASERS! Those little erasers on mechanical pencils are always the first to go, so having an extra stash of them is a great solution to that problem. However, I have to say that the clear protective eraser topper doesn?t stay on very well and is kind of annoying to have to take on and off when you need to erase. That could be improved upon. Got this product free to test out from BIC. Opinions are 100% my own.

Overall, great pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils have overall been great for my kids this school year. It is always a hard decision when school shopping trying to figure out what pencils to get when the isles are packed with other parents trying to find the perfect pencil also. Thankfully, i didnt have to do that this year since #BICVelocity sent us free pencils to try out! #GotItFree The packaging was easy to open and my kids instantly loved the bright, inviting colors. They have been using them now for a few weeks and only one issue. The pink pencil in one pack gave my 10 year old daughter some trouble when trying to get the lead down. Kind of like it hangs up on something inside when trying to click it down. It is still usable, but we leave it at home now so she does not have anymore trouble at school. They like how they erase and write, and I do too! My 5 year old doesn't have trouble holding this pencil unlike some others we have tried. He would prefer a green pencil though! All in all, these pencils are great and i will definitely be buying more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought I loved Bic Pencils before but defiantly love them more now with BIC VelocityÆ Original mechanical pencils . They are absolutely amazing. They are colorful which helps brighten my mood. They are strong so I can use them longer without getting frustrated from breakage. To top it all off they write so smoothly that I glide through my writing like it is nothing. I will be recommending and buying these again. Top of the line, great product. So happy to try them free.

Slick, sleek, and colorful pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the BIC velocity mechanical pencils. It is a great day in the classroom when students enjoy doing their work because they have new, colorful mechanical pencils. No more lead breaking every few letters. BIC uses strong lead that writes easy. The package even includes an extra pack of lead and erasers. yes, I said erasers. I love that BIC has added extra erasers. Students are always losing their erasers or making them so small that you cannot refill the lead. Not anymore!!!! Mechanical Pencils made easy, writing made FUN. #TryITfree #BICvelocity #bzzagent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids were so excited to get these right before school started. Well it's been a week of school and they are loving these pencils. I even use them at my job and they write so smooth and wonderfully. Would totally recommend these and have been giving my friends the coupons to try them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love writing with these pencils. It almost feels like writing with a pen, it just glides across the paper. I like the stronger lead and the bright colors. They also erase very easily with no remaining marks. This is my new pencil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a Spanish teacher and I check my writing students. The pencil grip and extremely important to have a good script. BIC pencils with my boys have the opportunity to improve their performance when writing. The VELOCITY pencils has a strong and soft grip allowing hold the pencil correctly. I love it and recommend it to my parents.
