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.

Clean Writing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked BIC Velocity lead pencils. The colorful variety that comes in a package was a hit with my children because they were able to use their favorite colors. They enjoyed the ease of use the pencils and not having to press down to hard to write a clear readable line. They also liked how easy it was to erase any mistakes, and how the eraser didn't leave a smudge. The lead pencils are really great!

He loves them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to say the older my son is getting the more he wants cooler school supplies. He does not like regular pencils as much since he has to sharpen them that is why these mechanical pencils were great. Also the grip is very comfortable, and now that he is in middle school he does a lot more writing and this mechanical pencil is great for lots of writing. He loves them!

Still a big hit for school as a go to mechanical pencil!
on September 17, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has been over a month and the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencil is still the choice my children use at school and at home. The mechanical pencils have lasted this long and have not had to buy replacements. The lead still writes smoothly after a long period of use. The lead is strong and does not easily break I have not had to replace the lead as often with pervious brands. The easers do not smudge when erasing maintaining the paper clean and presentable. I still use it for school work as well and I even added it to use at work. The mechanical pencil is still a hit with the family!

Love at First Write

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] How exciting to get to try out the new BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils! I am old enough to have used some of the first generations of BIC Mechanical pencils and they were a mainstay during high school years. I definitely preferred them over traditional pencils back then and I absolutely do now! These new pencils are amazing. They write so smoothly. They have the feel and look of a pen but they're a pencil. They make me want to start writing in pencil again. I have started drawing more since we have had these. They are so comfortable to hold. A definite improvement over the ones I used years ago.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils are a great pencil. I found that they write smooth which is great when journaling. The lead is dark which makes it easy to read. Definitely my go to pencil.
