Best Mexhanical Pencil I have Ever Used
on July 28, 2016
Posted by: mkdazell
from Memphis, TN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use pencils quite literally every single day at work. I write pre-sentence reports on defendants and part of this job requires me to interview defendants in jail. I always write in pencil when I interview people because I need to be able to erase or correct information and writing in pencil helps me differentiate their writing from mine. Today I had to interview three people, which meant three hours of writing and I thought omg perfect time to test out this new product from BIC. All I can say is wow. I have NEVER used a mechanical pencil that did not break(well the lead) on me. Bic velocity pencils did not break at all on me. They didn't leave red marks on my fingers and erased extremely well. I was extremely impressed. Any pencil that I can use continuously, for three hours, is a hit in my book. And so far in two years BIC Velocity is the only mechanical pencil to not disappoint me. I fully intend to purchase more.

Kids and I both love them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not too picky with my pencils... if they work and have erasers, I'm set. The kids, on the other hand, are VERY picky. For some reason they always prefer mechanical pencils so they were super excited when I got these in the mail for them. No need to fight over the colors- my girl and boy gladly sorted which ones they wanted. It was very convenient to have the lead and erasers packaged separately. I think it really motivates my kids to practice their writing if they like the tools they're using. A+ from me!

No more wooden pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first saw the pack of pencils I noticed on top of the pencils was a refill tube holding 5 erasers and 12 leads! This is great now I have an extra eraser for each Bic Velocity pencils and extra leads on top of each one filled ready to use. Hooray! I decided to try them out fits before for son so I took one of the pencils out to write with it. I clicked the top of the pencil and it sounded like a pen clicking so at first I thought oh this one must be a pen and the rest are pencils so I wrote with it and I still swore it was a pen until I used the eraser on the end and all the writing was gone. Then I began to write some more and found out it really is a pencil and it writes so good! The lead didn't snap off or even break as I continued writting with it. The lead wrote smooth, it was dark in color as lead should be when taking standarized tests in class.† Bic Velosity mechanical has a rubber grib around the part you hold so it will be more comfortable than holding a wooden pencil. Mechanical pencils have come a long way since I have used them as a child. :-)† When I gave the pencils to my son he was so excited to use them :-) I am pretty excited too because school is starting here on Monday and I didn't have to buy any pencils yet to send with him. I think if he don't lose them he should be good for awhile. I can't wait to see how long the lead lasts between refils.

Smooth and bright

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the bright colors--easy to find my pencil in the bottom of the backpack and feels festive to use them. I compared a store brand mechanical pencil with the Bic Velocity pencils and found these to write more smoothly and darker. Also the leads weren't as fragile.

Great pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these pencils! The grip is awesome, the colors are awesome, the way it writes is awesome. The eraser actually erases and doesn't smudge the lead around. The pencil isn't thin or cheap looking. I use it for school. The package comes with a handy pack of lead and erasers, too! BIC did an amazing job with these pencils.

New and Improved

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't know how I would react to these pencils. I mean aren't all pencils the same??? I really liked the appearance of these pencils. Bright and colorful things seem to draw me to them . I am more apt to buy something pretty and colorful than something yellow and plain. They work great!! They write really smooth and are easy to reload the lead once it is empty. I would highly recommend these to anyone that uses pencils
