Sturdy and colorful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are definitely sturdier than most mechanical pencils. We had a lot less issues with breaking lead. They erase pretty cleanly though not as well as I'd hoped. My daughter who has hand tremors found them difficult to hold though, and the refill lead was a bit of a pain to use. However we really loved the fun colors and high quality lead and erasers!

Best. Pencils. Ever!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these! My 14 year old loves these! My 11 year old loves these! I have no doubt everyone I pass these along to will love these! The .7 mm lead is so much better and sturdier than the usual .5 lead. There's none of the usual breakage and frustration we have with other mechanical pencils. The fun and vibrant colors make they easy to locate in a backpack or drawer, and hopefully they will make math homework more fun. Right now, during summer vacation the girls are drawing with them every night, but I've no doubt these will be their go to pencils for the whole school year. And with the neon colors each daughter knows which one belongs to her, and they haven't lost them - a miracle! I am an avid crafter and I've used these to trace patterns and draw seam lines onto fabric. Wonderful, high quality plastic with a very smooth finish. Even the erasers are flawless, the kind that don't leave residual marks at all. I seriously can't rave enough about these pencils!

I Just Might Use Pencils Again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am falling in love with pencils! I never thought it possible. I have a drawer full of pens, the more colorful, the better. Problem is, pens don't erase. When I received my package of BicVelocity mechanical pencils, my heart fluttered. Colorful pens? Wait, no! They're pencils!!!! These pencils are so comfortable to hold with the grip for fingers. I feel like I'm writing with a pen, but I'm not. I can erase mistakes, which I make often as a teacher. Since I am writing often, it 's nice to have something that feels good, looks great, and erases when I say something I need to take back.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are easy enough for my 3rd grader to load and use. The lead is smooth and the grip comfy. The price point is great, so they can easily be a staple in the backpack. Fun colors that kids love to use. An A+ for this back to school essential

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loved the pencils. He said they are very smooth to write with. They are easy to grip also. He loved that he did not have to get up to sharpen them!

My go to pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] BIC definitely knows how to make a great, durable product with the BIC Velocity #2 Mechanical pencils! First of all the packaging is inviting. With 5 bright colors (blue, yellow, orange, pink & purple), extra erasers (in a tube) and extra lead (in a tube) it catches your eye. These mechanical pencils have an attached eraser, eraser cap, plastic grip, metal tip (where lead appears), easy access to refill lead and the tip of the pencil unscrews if the lead gets stuck. This is the smoothest, darkest writing mechanical pencil. It erases cleanly (no smudges & doesn't leave any eraser particles behind). The pencil is extremely durable & comfortable to hold (not thin and cheap like other brands). The plastic finger grip is nice but I personally would prefer an even softer finger grip. One great feature is the metal (NOT PLASTIC) tip where the lead comes out! My 10 year old has gotten very frustrated with mechanical pencils because he complains the lead always breaks or it's uncomfortable to use. He LOVES these BIC Velocity mechanical pencils though! He hasn't broken lead and hasn't complained once about his hand cramping or hurting. Making a side-by-side comparison I notice that the BIC Velocity mechanical pencils are thicker, have a plastic finger grip and have a metal tip where the lead comes out. BIC Velocity mechanical pencils are the only brand for our household! These pencils are built to last! I have dropped them countless times and they come away working perfectly. Other brands that I have used have cracked upon dropping or the plastic tip where the lead comes out has broken off. To add lead is super easy: remove the eraser cap, pull out the eraser, drop in the lead! Also the tip of the pencil just below the finger grip unscrews in case the lead gets stuck (though this hasn't happened to me). If I had to find a slight negative, I don't really understand the need for an eraser cap because it's clear & can get lost easily. Regardless, BIC Velocity mechanical pencils are a great product and the only pencils I'll be sending to school with my kids. I'll be spreading the word to friends and family going out to buy school supplies!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the pencils in the mail with great excitement. I gave a pencil to my daughter and one to my son in law. They are both students. Then I brought the rest to my job and passed them out to my co-workers. I have had 2 co-workers exclaim how nice they are. The Velocity is a smooth writer and quite easy to hold. I passed out all the coupons at the school registration at the high school of my district.
