My 8th grader LOVES these!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 8th grader is over the moon about these! She has tried quite a few of the mechanical pencils over the past few years but not had much luck...I suspect she is pretty rough on her pencils and if the design and/or lead isn't sturdy enough, she breaks it easily and therefore won't be a fan of it....Over the past few years we have purchased different brands and styles for her and I always hear the same complaints; "Mom, I need new pencils because these don't last"
We received these pencils before the new school year started and my 13 year old was SO excited! So far (about a month into the new school year) I haven't heard anything negative; she likes the style, durability,and design (very important to a 13 year old girl! Lol) of these and I suspect that when she needs new ones (from what I understand the boys in her class like to "steal" her pencils!) these will be the ones she wants more of....

Perfect for back to school!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are very nice mechanical pencils. They have nice colors and soft grip and come with extra leads and erasers. One of the nicest thing is that the lead doesn't seem to break as easily as other mechanical pencils. My kids are notorious for pushing to hard and breaking the lead but these survive my kids. The erasers come with caps which is not really necessary but it does keep your eraser in good condition when you press on it for the retractable tip. The leads are #2 so they work for standardized tests. These are truly ideal for back to school!

Kids prefer mechanical

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kids are packed up and ready to go back to school, and no matter what grade they're in, they always need pencils. I have kids in 8th and 11th grades and the older they get the more likely they are to want a mechanical pencil as applied to a standard wood pencil. Perhaps it makes them feel older.
The Bic velocity mechanical pencils from bzz agent are just what the kids want. They're colorful and come with extra graphite, so they'll last a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is back to school time and who doesn’t need school supplies? As a math teacher I buy tons of supplies needed for my classroom and for my own kids.
For me, the pencil is one of the most important tool to have in the classroom. Normally I get both mechanical pencils as well as regular pencils because they have a mixture of preferences. The thing I like most about mechanical pencils is not only can you get number two lead, but you don’t have to worry about having a pencil sharpener around. As a classroom teacher, this is a big deal with 35 students. I got these BIC velocity mechanical pencils from BzzAgent and loved them the first time I used them. Not only is BIC a trusted brand, but also because it comes with extra lead and extra erasers! Can’t beat the value here! Plus they are colorful and have a soft comfortable grip.
The thing with mechanical pencils is that they tend to write lightly, but Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils seem like they write darker and smoothly, and all my students can see what we are doing when I use my document camera. Also what I like about these is unlike other mechanical pencils the tip is metal rather than a cheap plastic that breaks! So they are durable enough to survive my students. I surly will buy these again year after year. Bic...if you have any Velocity pencils you would like to donate to my classroom, we would love them. Thanks to Bic and BzzAgent!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the Bic Velocity pencils. Back to school just started, so I just broke them out for use! I like how they come with the extra lead and extra erasers! The grip is really nice and colorful and I like the assortment of colors. The lead seems harder than the stripes pencil which I also tried and like. I prefer the darker lead, so this is the perfect pencil for me. It erases writing really well too. It holds like a pen, so it is very comfortable.

Smooth writing, colorful mechanical pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] BIC Velocity mechanical pencils write really smooth. Kids tend to erase a lot and these pencils erase smoothly. I like that the erasers have a cap on them too. Keeps the erasers clean. The lead is pretty strong in comparison to other brands I've tried. They write very smooth and the lead is dark. The comfort grip makes writing less painful. No more boring yellow pencils with all the pencil shavings. Great pencils.
