[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since school began, my kids have passed over the regular pencils and gone straight for the Bic Velocity Mechanical pencils everyday for homework. They make writing easier to read and lines clearer when drawn. The back up erasers are going to come in handy soon with all the assignments they've already been given. I will have to stock up on Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils because they are comfortable and easy to use pencils that you don't need a sharpener for!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son returned to school before labor day and he continues to get asked about his new BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils. The colors are so eye catching. His teachers are thrilled because they erase so cleanly. He loves how he can write with them for a long time and it's still comfortable in his hand. Great product!

BICÆ VelocityÆ Mechanical Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never been one to like or use mechanical pencils. My kids love them but get frustrated for the same reasons I do. I always feel like I have to press hard in order to read what I'm writing. And with mechanical pencils, when you press too hard you snap the lead and then have to stop and get more lead out, erase the mark that you just made when you snapped the lead and then finally start your writing again. It's a mess. So when I was given the chance to try BICÆ VelocityÆ Mechanical Pencils for free, I figured why not?! My kids were excited when the pencils arrived. We opened them immediately and the first thing we thought was that they were pens, not pencils. They seriously look like pens. It wasn't until we were able to press the lead out that we were convinced that these were in fact mechanical pencils and not pens. lol. My kids are 6, 8 and 13. All three of them each picked a pencil based on color and gave it a go. The first thing they agreed on was that how cool it was that these pencils look like pens. Their instant plan was to take them to school the next day and trick their teachers. (It's the little things lol). My 13 year old said he liked how comfortable the pencil was to hold and the other two agreed. They started out by writing their names on paper and as usual 2 of the 3 pressed super hard to the point that I thought the lead would break, but it didn't! I had a pencil as well and told them to write normally like they would if it were a normal #2 pencil. So they wrote again. And this time, without pressing hard, it was still dark just as if there were using a #2 pencil. Amazing! All three kids were impressed with these mechanical pencils and were writing with them on and off throughout the rest of the day. I give this product a 5 out of 5 rating for durability, smoothness, ease of use, comfortable grip and style.

A great competitor for favorite in my household!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Giving these pencils to my son was a bittersweet moment (for him). On one hand, getting new school supplies is always exciting and fun. On the other hand, getting new school supplies means going BACK to school! He opened them right away and used them on some book reading assignments and loved the range of colors in the pack. I tried them out myself and really enjoyed the comfort of the pencil in my hand and the smoothness of the lead. These don't drag or break easily, they're fun to look at, and they erase without ripping through the papers in a smooth and clean way. They are great pencils all around, and definitely a contender for new favorite.

Pencil in pen's clothing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Clearly easily mistaken for a pen, this mechanical pencil has a few bells and whistles that sets it apart from others. Especially with the array of 5 bright colors , kids are drawn it the package on the shelves thinking I'm sure that it's some cool color gel pens. Well after trying the Pencils, I'll say that once you get over the I thought it was a pen" moment

Smooth and easy writing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bic Velocity has really stood up to the rest of daily writing and erasing. When writing with the Bic Velocity pencils the lead is strong and doesn't break easily, so the pencils are lasting longer than most mechanical pencils. They are a great product!
