Buzzing all the way back to school!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just in time for back to school! My kids were excited when they saw the BIC Velocity pencils! They come in beautiful colors! So I (with the help of my daughters) have been testing these pencils out! I have been using BIC for years and have used a lot of mechanical pencils in my day but these, I have to say are my hands down favorite! It's true, they write smoother and the lead is darker. But the fact they have a lot of lead and comes with an extra eraser for all 5 pencils in the package is awesome, especially when you have kids who can be pretty hard on them! But my favorite thing about these is the built in grip! They are so easy to hold onto! My kids will enjoy taking tests with these! Ok, maybe I am putting too much pressure on these pencils now...

BIC Velocity is the perfect mechanical pencil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried many mechanical pencils, and this one by far is the best. I love the rubber grip. It's not too hard or soft- just the perfect grip for smooth comfort. The eraser erases fast and accurate. I see no trace of pencil mark left over when I erase something. I like the .7 lead as it is thicker than the .5 and doesn't break as easy. I also love how the tip retracts in so it's not sticking out ready to stab you and get wounded when you are trying to find it in a purse or bag. Love all the bright colors in this pencil pack and it even includes extra eraser refills and pencil lead.

5 star review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually stick to the packs of BIC pencils that have 24 cheap pencils in them, but I am so glad I bought these! I was actually a little apprehensive when I first ordered them - I only bought them because a friend loaned me his and I lost the pencil cap and I felt soooo bad I just had to replace his. But, they have become my favorite lead based writing utensil! Anyway, personally I think these pencils are great. They write very smoothly. I haven't had an issue with putting too much pressure and having the lead snap. My friend who actually has this issue with a lot of pencils doesn't have it with these either. The erasers on these pencils are pretty nice too. They don't seem to disintegrate into tiny specks like ones on cheaper mechanical pencils. They also don't make that horrible 'noise' that the pink erasers do either, which is great. One thing I do dislike about these though is that they get used up pretty quickly. I've been mainly only using the pink pencil and eraser is about halfway gone already and it's only been about 3 weeks since I got these. It's a little disappointing, but the pack does come with extra erasers. I'd definitely recommend getting a separate eraser though, like one of the the big rectangle ones. Speaking of erasers, one thing I don't understand is the caps. The erasers have caps on them. ...Why? The whole cap thing is why I had to get these in the first place. I think they're supposed to prevent having the lead get pushed out accidentally while you have the pencils in your bag or a case or something. However, upon trying out these pencils for the first time, I immediately lost two of the caps. They're clear so they are very difficult to find if you misplace them. Be careful. These pencils seem to be pretty durable. I've had one of mine roll of my desk and get kicked across the classroom several times and stepped on once and it hasn't cracked or anything. These might actually be suitable for children and clumsy people like myself. The design of these is just great too in my opinion. The look is very sleek and the colors are so attractive. My favorites are the pink and orange. I honestly don't see too many orange mechanical pencils. The yellow is great too. It actually looks even brighter and more neon in person than in the photo. The blue one is just blue - there's nothing much to say about it. They all look pretty nice. I may even go so far as to say they look /sharp/. Because they're pencils. Do you get my joke? Overall, I definitely think these are worth the price. They'll last you a long time and save you money in the long run if you are like me and used to keep buying the huge packs cheaper pencils every few months

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ok so first not gonna lie skeptical why because i love mechanical pencils but they're a pain push to hard lead breaks before you know it you're out of lead this one gotta say definitely different when i first used it i thought it was a pen duh of course not and even if it looks like the lead isn't there it still writes omg moment so if you hated the old mechanical pencils like i did try this one it puts the other ones to shame

Bic has always been a favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that Bic pens and pencils have always been dependable and innovative. They have stayed ahead of the curve and have made themselves current. My kids both love mechanical pencils and Bic is a favorite. When I told them I got this sample #GotItFree they were very pleased, my son used them today for his summer work!
