Love these mechanical pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kids and I have been able to try these great mechanical pencils. I know what you're thinking...they're all the same. I thought that too but these are pretty darn spiffy. The encasing is a nice solid plastic with a soft rubber finger placement, where the lead comes out is metal, and instead of the eraser being all lose it has a plastic cap for protection and to prevent it from falling off and getting lost. When it comes to writing it is smooth and consistent and thicker lead than most so it doesn't break as easy. And to add another plus to it...there is a nice set" of extra eraser heads and lead to go along with it! The only downside is that they are on the pricey side...#BICVelocity and #GotItFree"

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually don't let the kids use mechanical pencils because the lead breaks so easily but that has not been the case with Bic Velocity. So far they have not broken them once! Truly enjoying these pencils and the little bit of convenience it brings.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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

Great Pencil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] School has started, and we love the Bic Velocity Pencils. The finger grip is easy on your friends. Love the cap on the eraser. They are so easy to use; and are so smooth. Love not having to sharpening a pencil in the middle of working. My daughter uses it not only for school work, but also when she is working on drawing for Art class. Great pencil. The lead doesn't seem to break as easy as some other pencils. And I love that; so I'm not having to buy more lead in the first week of using.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first went to try out one of the mechanical pencils I thought it would be like all the other mechanical pencils I've used but the pencil was very smooth. The pencil grip was very soft and I love that the eraser has a cap on it. It's also a big bonus that the package comes with refills on the lead and even the erasers because I haven't seen mechanical pencils that have refills for the erasers. #Got it Free #BICVelocity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think BIC Velocity pencils are a very good choice when shopping for pencils. My kids and I really like the bright colors, they definitely stand out next to other brands! I rated them 4 out of 5 stars because I think the eraser could work a little better, but overall I really like them and will continue to use them!

Forget the kids, these pencils are for all pencil people!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these would also strongly appeal to adults because they truly write so well. Strong lead, great erasers (and refills included of each). My daughter and son (middle and high school) will be getting these for school this year. My husband also tutors math and is taking his to work. Feels much better in my hand than the wood pencils and also the cheaper store brand mechanical pencils I typically buy. I don't love pencils like my daughter and husband but did decide when I use a pencil it would be this brand I will use.
