A nearly perfect pencil
on September 17, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these new pencils from BIC. They are very bright so I can find them in my junk drawer, though I would love to see a bright green one since I am not a pink fan. I love, love LOVE that the metal portion of the tip retracts completely into the unit so I don't stab myself when searching my purse for a writing implement. I love the chunkiness of the grip and how dark and smooth it writes. I also really love that it comes with not only extra leads but extra erasers. I have thrown out numerous other brands of mechanical pencils because they had refillable leads but a fixed eraser and once that was worn down you either couldn't erase or had to carry around a separate eraser. The only think that could possible make these better is that I found the little indentation for your grip to be slightly too far up the pencil for my preference. I found my fingers settling a bit below this in the hollow at the far end by the tip which was still comfortable but didn't give quite as much control in my writing. This is a minor issue however and I would not give these up because of it.

Smooth Writing
on September 17, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received #BICVelocity to sample and review. I let my students use these pencils while they wok in my classroom. They love the different colors that are available. I appreciate the fact that time isn't wasted when someone's pencil tip breaks. They just have to click the eraser to receive more lead. I personally like how smooth the eraser is. The pack also came with extra lead AND extra erasers, that's was a huge bonus. Erasers are usually the first thing to go, and I've had students throw out their pencils before just because their eraser is gone. I am glad my students were able to try these out. These pencils would make great school supplies because I know most kids would rather use mechanical pencils anyway.

Cute pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils are great for kids! They come in fun colors instead of boring black mechanical pencils. My daughter says it feels like using a pen when she writes with them but it is a pencil. She loves that! They have a nice, easy open case for extra lead. The pencils are #2 so they can be used in school and erase smoothly. Lots of fun for kids!

Great for not a pencil person

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not a pencil person. I have never liked the way they always seem light when writing unless pishing real hard. Then if there is a mistake you can't do anything. Well I tried the bic velocity mechanical pencil and now it is a must have in my pen container. It has a very smooth dark finish. Able to have a great finish and able to erase if need be. My kids keep taking them from my desk now. Great for any age. The lead is very strong that I am not worried about having a lot of extra lead avaible because the lead breaks #bzzagent #igetitforfree

Great Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like these pencils. I don't use pencils much (stay at home mom and all) but I will every now and then reach for one of these over everything else I have. They write smoothly and the lead lasts a good while. I did give them to my girls for school this year and they won't touch the regular pencils you have to sharpen, unless they are using the BIC Xtra Fun pencils I received as well. These are a great investment.

BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils Improves Penmanship
on September 17, 2016
Posted by: Ucantcme00
from Wheeling, WV
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that the comfort grip on these pencils, along with the ease of smooth writing and the effectiveness of the erasers has improved the penmanship of my 8 year old daughter. It seems that she holds the pencils much easier and in the correct position. When she has to erase a mistake, the erasers on these pencils make it easy and don't leave a mess behind. She loves that she can just click and doesn't have to keep sharpening her pencils to keep them pointed and easy to write with.

Great Bic Velocity Pencils
on September 17, 2016
Posted by: makeupchic
from Covington, LA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have spoke to many of my friends and family about these new Bic velocity mechanical pencils. They write so easily at times I think that I am writing with a Uniball pen. The pencil is a #2 however, it writes darker and with much more fine lines. The ease of the writing is very appealing to us; as we have Ehlors Danlos Syndrome ( a connective tissue Disorder ) that courses great pain. This disorder can make writing painful when we need to clutch the pencil so tightly just to write with most pens and pencils. The connective tissues in the hands and wrist often can not take the added strain and pressure from the constant gripping and writing. During the summer I was researching varies things to help my daughter ( whom suffers with a sever case) get through the school year with all of the writing and dealing with the pain that comes with it. The velocity pencils have been a God send and a huge comfort for my daughter! These pencils have made doing her schoolwork much easier. The colorful barrels make the pencils more appealing and fun for the kids. Another great perk to these pencils is that the pencil erases clean and they have extra leads and erasers packaged with them. Unlike many other mechanical pencils if the bottom point is unscrewed by accident the lead doesn't fall out. The only downside is that the eraser side is whatever extends the pencil and seems to be a bit sensitive. This means that at times when erasing you may extend the pencil. We would recommend these to anyone and everyone.

Bic Velocity is #1!
on September 17, 2016
Posted by: Empbent
from Tallahassee, FL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The package of Bic Velocity Pencils comes with 5 brightly colored mechanical pencils, a tube of replacement lead and also a tube of replacement erasers. Myself and my son loved the way these pencils wrote and the feel of the pencil in your hand. The writing was so smooth and the pencils had a really good grip on them, which didn't make your hand hurt from using them. The lead was sturdy and measures in at 0.7mm, so it is thicker and doesn't snap off or break like other mechanical pencil lead that I have used in the past. Another bonus of the Bic Velocity pencil was how cleanly the marks erased with no smudging. This is a must for kids and adults alike who have to do correcting of their work. I would absolutely recommend these for anyone who writes with pencils!
