[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.] I think its a great mechanical pencil. The led does not break easily at all. Still using the same one with out the refill. I love the comfort grip on it. The eraser does not erase well, it leaves streaks of pencil on the paper. Other than that its a great mechanical pencil.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves her new Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils, every year she gets mechanical pencils for school. She says she like these pencils are her favorite, the write darker then others and erase better. She likes the bright colors and that it's clear with color.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bic Mechanical pencils are quite nice!! The grip is comfortable and my fingers sit very nicely in the grooves! I like the cap on the eraser. keeps my eraser clean and dry. My daughter however does not like the cap!! She says does not like to take the cap off and on every time she has to erase something.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the new Bic Velocity mechanical pencils! They are bright fun colors that not only I like, but my 7th grader loves. Writing with the pencil was smooth and easy to use. I also noticed that the lead was not easy to break like most other mechanical pencils. This is very important in my house because my kid would go through the lead refills last year like they were air! I will be buying and recommending Bic Velocity pencils to anyone that will listen!
