BIC® Velocity® Mechanical Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never been one to like or use mechanical pencils. My kids love them but get frustrated for the same reasons I do. I always feel like I have to press hard in order to read what I'm writing. And with mechanical pencils, when you press too hard you snap the lead and then have to stop and get more lead out, erase the mark that you just made when you snapped the lead and then finally start your writing again. It's a mess.
So when I was given the chance to try BIC® Velocity® Mechanical Pencils for free, I figured why not?! My kids were excited when the pencils arrived. We opened them immediately and the first thing we thought was that they were pens, not pencils. They seriously look like pens. It wasn't until we were able to press the lead out that we were convinced that these were in fact mechanical pencils and not pens. lol. My kids are 6, 8 and 13. All three of them each picked a pencil based on color and gave it a go. The first thing they agreed on was that how cool it was that these pencils look like pens. Their instant plan was to take them to school the next day and trick their teachers. (It's the little things lol). My 13 year old said he liked how comfortable the pencil was to hold and the other two agreed. They started out by writing their names on paper and as usual 2 of the 3 pressed super hard to the point that I thought the lead would break, but it didn't! I had a pencil as well and told them to write normally like they would if it were a normal #2 pencil. So they wrote again. And this time, without pressing hard, it was still dark just as if there were using a #2 pencil. Amazing! All three kids were impressed with these mechanical pencils and were writing with them on and off throughout the rest of the day.
I give this product a 5 out of 5 rating for durability, smoothness, ease of use, comfortable grip and style.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these pencils are the best ones yet! My daughter loves the colors on them and I love the fact that they are #2. I have tried to buy her other fun colored pencils in the past and none of them have been #2. These being both pretty and #2 make them the best ones yet. The price is good and the ease of finding them in the store is even better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son, a freshman, loves the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils! He says they don't break like others and when he has to erase it does so without smudging. He has even give a few a way to other students.

Back to school cool pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils are wonderful. My son is a tech kid all the way, but sometimes old school is still the best. When he needs to work on a math problem these pencils are perfect. The lead is dark enough to see all the numbers yet when needed erases cleanly. With the colorful barrels he even looks good while geeking out with math, charts and all those science projects.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are awesome! I love the grip,how well they write even the colors are fun. The price you pay for them are well worth it when you get more lead in with them. I would recommend these to anyone. They are a great buy with minimal packaging so there isn't a lot of waste.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has started middle school and he doesn't lose these pencils as quickly as he does a standard pencil. He really likes the way they write and the fun colors. Hoping these will inspire him to get his homework done neater. Great product, durable with a comfortable grip and smooth writing.
