Great mechanica pencil

Posted by: MDAL11
from West Columbia, SC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoy trying new products but all too often I find they do NOT live up to the claims and I end up wasting money and have to buy a tried a true product. BIC is a company that I have always thought had great products and I look for when purchasing products. Unfortunately sometimes they are a bit more costly but I have learned through experience, they are well worth the additional cost.
These pencils are great for anyone to use. They are comfortable and feel like a pen in my hand something many mechanical pencils do not provide which is what I prefer when writing. I like the colors as well and the shape of the pencil itself as well as the ability to add lead and not have to worry about sharpening a pencil. The lead writes nice and dark more like a No2 pencil. At one point we were told we could not use mechanical pencils as they would not write dark enough or properly. That was not an option so I had them evaluated and we were granted permission to use BIC VELOCITY mechanical pencils which was great.
Would I buy these again - YES, I already have bought them again - not because they break but that I needed more as people love them and cannot wait to take one from me. Are they worth the cost - YES in my opinion.

Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The velocity Bic mechanical pencils fit in my hand comfortably and the lead lasted much longer than I remember. I would recommend these over any other brand by far. I absolutely love the selection of colors and the extra lead came in handy. Being left-handed I usually end up with pencil marks covering my hand after using any pencil but with these I did not have that problem at all. The Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils will definitely remain a staple in this household.

Students love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Now I know what the hype is all about! Bic Velocity mechanical pencils are what my students want as well as my own kids. They like the way they write and the lead doesn't break right away. Not your typical cheap pencil lead, sturdy body that doesn't crack unless you use force. Highly recommend Velocity to middle school and above!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the new Bic Velocity Mechanical pencils... They are not lot other mechanical pencils at all. They don't break, they write very smooth and all my kids use them and only Bic Velocity from now on. I already told my friends and even gave some of the nice colorful pencils out to some of my sons friends for school ! These will last a long time too :)

This pencil does it all

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter has always hated mechanical pencils so I was worried she wouldn't even want to give these a chance. She LOVED how colorful they were but her FAVORITE thing was that the pencil led didn't break off so easily. Not only that, but they came with extra lead just in case you ran out so you wouldn't have to just throw them out like other brands once the pencil is out of led. She found that the erasers did a wonderful job clearing out old writings and didn't smear or smudge like other pencils did in the past for her. I'm pretty sure we have a winner on our hands here now and my daughter has changed her mind on mechanical pencils.

The only pencils I'll ever buy again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start by saying that 5 isn't enough stars for these pencils!
I received my Bic Velocity pencils over the summer and immediately fell in love with them. I kept one package at home for my family, and took one to work to share with co-workers. I have a 5th and 6th grader and they loved the pencils so much, they were the only kind they wanted for school.
The exterior of the pencils come in bright and bold colors, and they have a comfort grip that is the perfect amount of grip and softness. The lead is .7 mm which is the perfect thickness that allows for smooth writing. And with the thicker lead it doesn't break as easily as the thinner stuff. The price is a little higher than your regular Bic mechanical pencils, but absolutely worth every penny. Will definitely keep buying Bic Velocity pencils!

My Kids LOVE These!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The colorful pencils definitely were a top choice for my kids this back to school season. The leads write smoothly and erase cleanly making them ideal for homework and tests. My kids use them for everything they can possibly think of. We won't purchase any other pencils as long as these are on the market.
