The Perfect Pencil!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received 2 packs of BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils as part of this great Bzz campaign. Each pack contained 5 pencils in different colors a small tube of refillable erasers (what!) and a small tube of refillable lead. I gave a pack to my daughter to keep for school in September because she was just so excited when she saw them. According to her, these are definitely cool enough for middle school... phew! She loves mechanical pencils... lol she really does and so last year once in a while I would bring home a mechanical pencil or two from work (shhhh) for her but they are just the plain yellow Papermate ones we have at the office. I have never actually bought mechanical pencils because I just didn't think they were good enough for the money. When we saw, these we couldn't wait to try them so I opened the other pack and gave her the blue and purple ones... her favorite colors...yay and I took pink, yellow and orange. Ok so yes I have a favorite too, orange but since I was going to review them, I had to look at more than just the cool colors although I will admit they are definitely much nicer to look at than the plain yellow ones. Compared to the Papermate mechanical pencils I had been using, these were definitely better. I love that they are refillable so already better than all those other ones that aren't. Not only can you refill the lead but you can replace the eraser too and both very easily which means that you don't waste the nice pencil even though you have used up the lead or eraser. The BIC pencils are thicker and have a cushioned grip that is very comfortable to hold. They write with a nice, smooth and dark, sharpness without having to press down extra hard and then worry that the lead is going to snap. Not what you would expect from a mechanical pencil but exactly what would expect from a regular pencil. They don't need sharpening which is nice since I have taken my" colors to work and we don't actually have a pencil sharpener there. I also like that they erase well and cleanly which is important to me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love these. My husband took some to work and my kids took some to school. They love the grip, the eraser, and the new tip. They write smoothly and erase easily without a lot of pressure. Love how easy these are to refill with extra lead that comes with it. The eraser is easy to change out too. We are really happy with these and can't wait to share them with others.Trying the product for free thanks to BIC.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the feel and design of these. And the plastic cap on the erasers kind of set it off. Did not seem to break as easy as other mechanical pencils do.

Bic Velocity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like these pencils, they write very smoothly! I tend to write with a heavy hand and lead strength is great. The only thing that keeps this from being 5 stars is the eraser. It doesn't completely erase away (see photo).

Super smooth pencil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pencil has definitely brought the creativity out in my family. The kids love this pencil so much they come up with every excuse to use it. I never let my kids use pens and the super sleek design, soft comfort grip, retractable tip, and dark lead makes them feel like they have a pen of their own. I find them wanting to write more and the colors make it that much more fun for young imaginations. They each have their own favorite color and luckily they are in the packs making them more interested in using them vs a boring regular pencil. Bic Velocity even makes drawing a lot easier. The lead is dark but erases clean leaving less mess on the paper and less paper used. It leaves a smooth glide across the paper and can go as light or as dark as you need which I love. The other thing I love is the price they are so inexpensive for the quality. By far the best pencil I have ever used not looking forward to when these run out definitely see more of these pencils on our school supply list. #BICVELOCITY #GOTITFREE
