[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves using colorful BIC mechanical Pencils. She loves the feeling when holding it , its very comfy and light. The smooth and clean writhing lats her show what nice handwriting she has. The lead last longer since it dose note break as easy as most mechanical pencils. Thanks BIC for free BEST mechanical pencils.

Writing made Fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I must say that I was impressed with how great BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils worked. Normally when I think about Mechanical Pencils I think of lead that breaks easily but these pencils write great and if you make a mistake its easily fixable with the eraser on the top of the pencil. They come in a variety of colors which really catches the kids eyes.

Great Mechanical Pencil
on September 8, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were able to try out these pencils for free in exchange for our honest review.
My teenage son uses nothing but mechanical pencils, so his input was very important to me for this review.
They look cool, which is always a plus, but looks aren't always everything!
The lead is strong and durable. I'll admit, I usually buy the cheap multipacks of pencils and you definitely get what you pay for. I am constantly hearing the lead snap while he's doing his homework. But the lead in the BIC Velocity pencils was actually stronger and held up to his intense algebra homework.
The eraser worked nicely and actually did its job without smudging or leaving residue. It's a decent size too! Usually mechanical pencils come equipped with a tiny little nub of an eraser that is used up after a few mistakes.
My son loves the eraser cap, and thinks it's a nice asset. I think that part will be a matter of preference, because for me, I found it to be a little bit of a nuisance, because I'd always forget to take it off before I attempted to erase something. I don't think it's a nuisance enough to knock the rating down, though!
The pencils are a little pricy depending on where you're purchasing them, but you do get extra lead and erasers! Also keep in mind that you get what you pay for!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these BIC® Velocity® Mechanical Pencils! I really love the fact they come with extra lead. My son likes them because they are darker than other mechanical Pencils. He also like the fact that the girls fight over the color they want to borrow. "Really bright and cool!" , is what they said. Best for me... they are affordable! Thanks BIC

Love the Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils
on September 8, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never been a fan of mechanical pencils. I remember thinking they were cool as a kid, but as I got older I never thought they worked very well. I am a "light" writer. If I don't have a dark ink or lead, no one can read what I write. Enter the Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencil. Wow! This pencil was just like writing with a pen. The lead color showed up on the paper and I could read what I was writing without trying to make it dark. The Bic Velocity is smooth. Plus the pencils come in a bunch of cool colors.

Adore these!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My jr high and college age daughters both absolutely adore these pencils! They don't break lead as easily as other brands, which is a huge plus! My oldest loves to draw and usually uses regular pencils but has found she really likes these for drawing better as she can get finer details. We love all the bright colors and the girls are constantly getting asked where they got them!
