[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think they are neat. They don't break easy and kids thinks they are cool. They look so much like a pen and that's what makes it neat

Broken Lead

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Apparently some kids just write really hard.. I cannot begin to tell you how many times during a homework session with my daughter and her friends that I heard the lead go pop pop. These kids must write with the force of bull in a china shop because while the pencils looked cool, they certainly couldn't hold up to the constant writing they were doing for math problems. I think I'll try the wooden pencils more

Love these pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are amazing. Wonderful to write with, fun colors, and a great eraser (which can be hard to find). Couple that with replacement erasers (also impossible to find once you use up the one that it came with) and replacement leads, and you have a great deal here. I like using them at work and my kids enjoy them at home.

The Write Tool

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think my daughter was just excited to try these pencils as I was getting them. She's very picky about mechanical pencils and they didn't disappoint. She put them right in her bag to take to school after she tried one out. She loved the way they wrote and was thrilled they were refillable. They are definitely better than most mechanical pencils out there.

Smooth Writing Pencils
on August 30, 2016
Posted by: metalchick
from Columbia, SC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Bic Velocity mechanical pencils to try. I decided to put the pencils anywhere I would usually use pens to force myself to use them regularly in different situations. At first I found myself breaking the lead frequently. But after continued use, I found that I no longer was breaking the lead. There are numerous benefits of these pencils. Such as, if the lead breaks, another lead smoothly transitions, you do not have to keep pushing on the pencil. Another thing I love about the pencils is the eraser. The eraser has a cap on it. I admit, it took a little getting used to, taking the lid off. But the eraser does a great job. I love the way the pencils write. As much as I have been writing, I still have not had to add more lead. I would recommend these pencils to anyone who uses pencils, not just students. I will purchase these pencils in the future.

Fantastic Lead, Nice Grip

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils. I prefer pencils for notes and drawing, and mechanical pencils make traveling easier. No sharpener needed! Quick sketches, jot down a note, or write a rough draft, this pencil is fantastic. The lead doesn't stick. It's super smooth, so no stuttering like I've found when using mechanical pencils. My lines are easy, fluid, and smooth. No squeak either! The grip of this pencil is very comfortable. I'm impressed, a nice mechanical pencil that I've had decent results with my sketching and shading.

Pleasantly surprised

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids were pretty excited about this because it was something they were going to get the opportunity to use. The kids love mechanical pencils but always complain about how they don't erase well and break easily. Right off the bat we noticed that the pencils were a lot sturdier than other pencils. We even put it to the test by trying to bend it to see if it would break and to our surprise it did not. The lead erased very well to our surprise. The rubber grip is a nice addition to make the pencil very comfortable to hold. It also gives you a lot more control when writing. We also liked the colors and the fact that they came with extra lead. These pencils were not difficult to find. They were available available everywhere we shopped. The only dislike for us was the price of the pencils which was 5 or 6 dollars depending on where we shopped for a pack of 5. But they would definitely be worth the extra money due to all the extra benefits the pencil provides. Overall we were pleased with the Bic Velocity Pencils. My kids have made them part of their regular writing utensils.
