Velocity is a HIT in my house!!
on September 6, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a few mechanical pencil fans in my house so I passed out one pack of them to my boys- aged 13 and 18 and waited for the reviews. My 18 year old uses them mainly for schoolwork- writing and such. He has been using mechanical pencils for as long as I can remember so I was anticipating his response. He really liked it, said the lead in it was very smooth and nice to write with. He especially liked that the pencils came with extra lead and most especially extra erasers!! My 13 year old is special needs, he is on the autism spectrum. He draws (and draws really well). He had a generic brand mechanical pencil that he was using. The pencil ran out of lead and I replaced it with a Velocity pencil. He wasn't too thrilled because it was different

Write so smooth I think I am using a pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love to write in pencil but I find myself disliking it to because I have had those experiences with mechnical pencils where you write and then the lead breaks and then you write and the lead breaks and you get where I am going with this. Well the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils are not that type of pencils. It almost feels like you are writing with a pen it feels so smooth. Sometimes you also have the issue with the lead where it gets bumpy but I also did not have that issue. I also like that these have very nice colors but they are not overly out there. I can have them at work and I can also have them in my bag for running around. They are very versatile. My children also used them for school and they commented and said they wanted me to buy more of those good" pencils."

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mechanical pencils are very exciting for my second grader. He loves to use them more than regular pencils. He loves the colors and writes more with them then anything else.

fairly standard

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] looking at the packaging, I was under the imprison the lead would be the color of the pencil. sadly, I was wrong. as far as mechanical pencils go, they are fairly standard. their only feature that sets then slightly apart is how much lead comes out with each click: it's a tiny bit less than the competition, but I had less tips break off

The Pencil Review
on September 6, 2016
Posted by: bearnty
from Glen Burnie, MD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Review by my 12 year old...They are not very grippy, they kept slipping out of my hand. The lead broke easily even when I wrote lightly. Other than that, the lead writes very nicely. It's a really good pencil and I liked it.

Helps My Son Write Better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has a fine motor skill disorder. It can be hard for him to judge whether he presses hard enough or too hard with a standard (non-mechanical) pencil. While he has been reluctant to use mechanical pencils as they are boring
