[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter is a junior in high school this year and when I gave her the sample pencils I received in the mail she loved them and could not wait to open them and try them out. She will not use anything other than mechanical pencils. After using the BIC Velocity Pencils I received, she LOVES them! She loves the bright color and look of these pencils. Plus the soft rubber grip is so comfortable to hold unlike some of the hard plastic grips that other pencils have. The lead is so smooth writing and she loves it! She said it has been one of the best pencils she has ever used. I also brought one to use at work and I absolutely love the feel of the pencil. They are easy to use and comfortable to hold. I love the grip on it and love how clean the lead is when you write with it. It doesn't leave any lead residue like some of the other pencils I have used before. Plus the packages of pencils I received came with lead and eraser refills! Most packages I have purchased before have not come with that, they only come with the pencils. I love the fact that these came with refills and you do not have to purchase those separately! We will definitely use the coupons we received with our samples to purchase more of these pencils because we love them!

A Mechanical Pencil Convert

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a classroom teacher, I use pencils constantly. I use them to jot down notes, take attendance, make plans and reflect, and even work next to students. Traditionally I have opted for regular (nonmechanical) pencils because I found regular mechanical pencils flimsy and felt like I had to write more softly, both slowing my handwriting and making it less clear. When the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils arrived, I was super excited to see that they had grips built in, helping to add a little heft to the pencil and making it feel more comfortable and sturdy in my hand. My writing with the pencils was lovely, smooth and even, as a result of the grip and the super smooth lead. I love that the lead doesn't break as easily as other mechanical pencils. I am not constantly breaking lead and wasting money, which is awesome. The extra erasers and extra lead was a huge bonus, too. Now instead of tossing pencils as I run out of lead or finish another eraser, I can keep using the same one! I, reluctantly, parted with some of the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils, adding them to my class shared basket, and my students love them as much as I do. They dig through the basket to find them! I knew they were a win when I overheard the kids, completely unprompted, talking about how nicely the pencils wrote. This teacher is sold. I will be buying BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils for my classroom!

Best Mechanical Pencils Out There

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love these pencils!! They write so smooth. I love that they come in a standard #2 lead so their's no need to buy other pencils. They come in a variety of colors. If you make a mistake writing you can erase without worry it doesn't leave eraser marks. This is our go to mechanical pencil now, to us it's the best pencil out there for us. My kids only use mechanical pencils and they loved how these write compared to others we've purchased in the past.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves her Bic Velocity mechanical pencils! Not only are they great for school, but, she loves to sketch with them too! No more thin, light leads! This pencil is darker than the original Bic Mechanical Pencil and is also refillable. The comfort grip makes drawing easy and it erases clean! My daughter also loves the stylish colors! I highly recommend this pencil!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids were excited about seeing and using these cool looking mechanical pencils. From a boy's perspective, there was just one problem - the color selection. If I were to purchase a 5-pack of pencils, his selection was limited to just three due to the pink and purple. The only boy" colors are blue & orange. He wished that there was a green or red. Another option would be to have a pack for girls and boys. This would allow more choices for both genders. From a cost perspective
