Amazing pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these mechanical pencils. They work beautifully and are easy to use. I love all the bright colors that they come in. The pencils write so smoothly and I really like them much better than other mechanical pencils. They also erase much better than other pencils. They do not leave a greyish residue behind like some others would.

Nice Lead Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got to try the BIC VelocityÆ Mechanical Pencils for free through a promotion from BIC. My package contained 2 5-packs of the pencils, as well as several coupons for $1.00 off to pass along to friends. I don't write with pencils much - I'm very picky about them, but I found that I do like these. Here's why: * Unlike some other pencils I've tried, these don't scrape along the paper while you write, they sort of glide. * The lead seems to be stronger than other lead pencils I've tried * The lead is also very dark which is something I look for when I do use a pencil. * They come in vibrant, fun colors. There were some things I didn't like: * The erasers don't seem to work as well as they should. * The cost is a bit high - online I found the prices ranged between $5.25-$9.00 for the same 5-pack that I got. That's between $1.05-$1.80 PER PENCIL!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this is by far the best mechanical pencil on the market, these do not break as easily and my 13 year old daughter cant stop raving about the colors and the refill lead. We are very excited to be a part of this campaign!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these pencils are great for drawing they last a long time. They are very colorful and the kids love them. They enjoy writing and drawing with them and the colors make them happy and want to use them. They have even asked me to make sure they have enough for school.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the bright colors and grip. They are so comfortable to hold and they write so smoothly. My kids love them so much they drew a mural on my living room wall! Yikes! It's okay, they were just doing their own tests. :)

BIC velocity mechanical pencil has me excited to write

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really pleasantly surprised by the new BIC Velocity mechanical pencil. I thought that all mechanical pencils were the same but I Was completely happy and surprised to be wrong. First off the bright colors make them fun for all ages to use. The built in grips make writing comfortable. The sturdy design makes them feel more like you are writing with a pen and the lead is amazingly strong. The writing is actually better than a standard pencil because you have the never dulling sharp thin lines of the mechanical pencil and the darker smoothness of a regular pencil. So it is the best of both combined into one. I was able to write for a considerable amount of time before having to advance more lead and it would work great for standardized tests where a #2 pencil was required. I got mine free through BuzzAgent. #GOTITFREE The new BIC Velocity mechanical pencil is going on our school supply list in place of regular pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am usually a normal pencil kind of person but after using these. I have to say I am hooked. They are easy to use, no need to sharpen and they still have an eraser.

Bic Velocity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I received the Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils in the mail I knew right away who I was going to show them to - my daughter. She is the queen of mechanical pencils and she has her favorites. Although we received them before school started she wanted to wait and use them the first day of school. Her first reaction was not good, but it did get better. When she first picked up a pencil she didn't think she would ever like them because of the notches in the rubber grip where your fingers go. The notches lined up right where her fingers needed to go and that bothered her. If she turned the pencil to grip on the non-notched area, the clip at the top would annoy her hand. After looking at it that evening I discovered that you can actually rotate the rubber grip so that it is more comfortable. It's still irritating to her to have to do that though. But on a more positive note she really likes how dark it writes. That's always a big deal to her when she tries out pencils or gets lead refills. So, kudos to Bic Velocity for some nice dark lead! She also liked that the eraser is not too flimsy. On some other brands that she has tried, the erasers break right off the first time you try and use them. My daughter thinks the plastic cap over the eraser is an annoyance, so she doesn't keep that on it anymore. Although there are some nice features to this pencil, overall, the mechanical pencil queen" still prefers Papermate Clearpoint pencils."
