[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] #BICVelocity #GotItFree - I received these pencils from BIC in exchange for an honest review and hopefully some buzz. Getting free items is great; getting free items that are great is totally awesome. These pencils are both. The pencils were really nice quality and had a nice weight to them. It felt more like using a quality pen than a mechanical pencil. These pencils will hold up for a long time and come with lead and eraser refills. The .7 mm lead was strong enough not to break when my 5 year old wrote with it and it seemed to glide across the paper with little effort. The rubber grip is a nice touch. It seemed to help my 5 year old's grip and her hand didnt seem to get as tired when doing her schoolwork. I found myself opting to use these over pens when jotting down my grocery lists etc. Guys might consider the pencils girly because of the bright colors but I love them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The other day my daughter came home with a project to draw the world map. This was a 2 1/2 hour project and #BICVelocicy stood up to the test. The lead was nice and strong as my daughter normally would break the lead several times with other pencils. The grip is also super comfortable because she did not complain once that her hand or fingers were bothering her. We both give these pencils 2 thumbs up. #GotItFree

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got so excited when I got into the campaign. BIC is a well trusted brand that I have always used. When I got the pack the BIC Velocity it contain five pencils. They were different colors and it contain the refill lead and erasers. The BIC lead pencils contain a soft grip and the eraser has a plastic cover so my eraser does not fall off. When I was working on my paperwork the writing was so smooth and if I made a mistake it was easy to erase without any marks left behind. I was so happy that I had to share them so now people at work have the BIC Velocity pencils too.

The Best in Mechanical Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought a mechanical pencil is a mechanical pencil. But I am wrong. I compared a generic mechanical pencil to Bic Velocity and really it's night and day. Bic Velocity is thicker, more substancial, has a comfort grip that is lacking in the simple generic. It writes very well and erases easily, has a good feel in my hand. My 8th grade daughter was very impressed as well. She liked all the different colors and how it felt in her hand and how smooth it wrote. I think these are a bargain as well. I calculated they approximately $1 or less each and that is without a coupon or back to school sale. So I highly recommend you get your kids the best and buy these over generics. Give them the best tools to work with. It's so worth it.

Tough Lead

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a really hard time finding lead pencils that work really well. I love these so much! The lead didn't break easily and the lighting of my writing came out dark and rich. I can't stand writing with a lead pencil that makes my writing hard to read and it feels like writing with a needle. Bic makes my life feel much better! These mechanical pencils are the best. The thicker lead makes life so much easier. Thank you Bzz Agent And Bic for sending me these for free to test out!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the BIC Velocity mechanical pencils! I never have to worry about having a point when I write, and I absolutely love the fact that they come with extra erasers! Those are so hard to find. The feel of the pencil in my hand is so comfortable and they write very well!

They made the bag cut!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We started school yesterday and both of my school aged kids packed these pencils in the bag. That's extremely high praise from the child who had her bag packed for weeks, with folders and binders color coded by subject. It's slightly less high praise from the kid who tossed some supplies in his bag the night before, but still praise, as he had options. They like the mechanical pencils because they are always sharp and the erasers consistently work. My college age kid prefers a metal mechanical pencil with thinner lead (.5 vs. the .7 in these pencils). Those pencils are definitely higher quality with a better hand grip/feel, but they are also considerably more expensive. The BIC velocity are a great pencil for the cost. My son mentioned that he thought the hand grip was a nice feature.
