Happy Kids

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that Bic has came up with the greatest pencils for kids ever!! My kids love to write now and they love the colors and how easy it is to erase a mistake without a sloppy mess. My kids no longer complain that their fingers hurt thanks to the awesome grip. Getting them free was awesome. I am a very pleased mother now that I don't have to argue to get homework writing assignments done. I suggest buying these great pencils instead of anything else. Highly reccomend ASAP!!

review from my daughter
on September 17, 2016
Posted by: bonnie77
from Shrewsbury, MA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter was very excited to see the colors the pencils arrived in and she quickly took the purple one for herself. She is in the 7th grade now. She used the pencil at home to do some of her home work and practice math problems. According to her the writing was quite bold and she liked the look and color of the lead. Sometimes it did feel a bit rough depending on the angle, otherwise overall it was smooth. The lead did not break at all even if you pressed hard for darker writing.

BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils Rock!
on September 17, 2016
Posted by: Pumpkin18
from Norwalk, CT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ever since I was in high school I have loved using mechanical pencils. There was always a sharp point and I didn't have to go looking for a pencil sharpener. For me, the one thing I wanted to know before getting the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils was how readily available the lead refills would be. There is nothing worse than running out of lead and not being able to find the correct lead refill. Thankfully, refills are easily located. I had my son try it out first. And he loved them, especially the different colors (not the pink because it was too girly for him) and the cushion grip, as he tends to hold pencils and pens with a tight grip (me too). Our inventory of stubby pencils have finally decreased!

smooth as butter
on September 17, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do a lot of writing for work purposes. I have used the regular #2 pencils and I have used mechanical pencils. Both have their disadvantages. Pencils have a habit of breaking at the most inopportune times. The Bic velocity pencil was different. First thing I noticed was the comfort grip. When you write as much as I do and you have carpal tunnel, comfort is everything and this pencil has it. Secondly, it writes as smooth as butter. Other pencils have a jagged, almost skip like when writing. Not this pencil. Mistakes are cleaned easily, leaving no messy residue or pencil smudging. I suppose parents would say these were good for kids but I think they are perfect for adults as well. I work in a public bus yard, I have to write down the bus locations for over 200 buses. This in itself can be a tedious job, then I have to write out the bus assignments. Previously, my hand would get tired but with these pencils, I find myself not needing to stop as often. Definitely a plus for someone with a tiresome hand.

Best. Pencil. Ever...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok, so honestly I gave my son a pack for school and I set one aside to try for myself. Of course, he thinks they're great. He likes the fact that there is no sharpening, the lead doesn't break off like some of the other mechanical pencils, and the handy eraser actually works and isn't gone in a day. When I tried one, wow! Super comfortable grip, completely different than any other pencil I have tried. This pencil is loved by all in this house!

Smooth Sailing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are awesome! I have been using them for over a month now and I can not use any other pencil. I love they way they feel when you hold them to write. They fell solid and the rubber grip is comfortable. As a teacher, I use pencils throughout the day and this one takes the cake!!!! If you want a smooth writing mechanical pencil that can stand up to massive amounts of writing, then this is the pencil for you!

Great Expectations
on September 17, 2016

from Bowling Green, KY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I prefer using mechanical pencils but am very picky. This one has great features that I prefer. It has fun colors and a comfort grip. It writes as smooth as it claims. I used these when I am writing and may have to make changes and they erase great. Definitely the pencil that meets my expectations.
