Back to School with BIC
on August 31, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For Elijah's first day at school (really only a half-day), he's been instructed to bring only a pencil.
That pencil will be a BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencil. We like them because they come in bright colors, are easy to grip, and their sturdy lead writes smoothly. I also love how their provided eraser comes covered with a cap and erases very clean - because everybody makes mistakes, right?
Elijah gets to pick from a choice of yellow, purple, orange or blue barrels (I keep the pink for myself!), and the pack of five pencils comes with extra leads and extra erasers.
I deducted one star because for myself, I like a somewhat finer lead - what comes with the pencils is a full .7mm. If I can get pencils with .5mm, I'll be delighted.
All in all, BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils are perfect for heading back to school, or to work, or wherever you might want to do some writing yourself.

Fun colors

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The colors were great! My kids thought they were very pretty And couldn't wait to use their favorite color. The only reason I got four stars was because of the eraser. When you go to erace something it pushes the lead out more. That was the only flaw I saw but that's a big flaw, and therefore my kids are constantly fighting with trying to keep the lead from coming out so much and breaking off. Pencils felt good in your hands and I love to do homework or doodling with them.

Best mechanical pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great. I've used many kinds of mechanical pencils and these are my fave! The thickness of the barrel is perfect for your grip and the rubber grip is comfy. I've found the thinner barrel ones make my hand ache after only a short times using them. Also, one of the most important factors to me is the lead thickness. .9mm is perfect! Not too thin that the lead is constantly breaking and not too thick that you feel like you're writing with a dull instrument. My kids love these too. I bought 2 packs so we all have a few and then bought a bunch of extra refill packs. I'm never sharpening another #2 pencil again.

Finally the perfect mechanical pencil.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a child I never liked mechanical pencils because the lead was so weak when I would press down to write it would always break. With the bic velocity the lead is strong and have not broken one time since I started using it. When I used the eraser it cleaned off all the lead. There were no messy streaks left on the paper. The pencil is so comfortable to hold and the nice bright , fun colors are great for children.

Smooth Operator

from Littleton, CO
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to use pencils only in elementary school and crossword puzzles (so I can erase when I wrote a wrong word). I find that after trying these pencils - I reach for them instead of a pen every time. There is something special about the smooth flow of writing with them. The erasers are great and the pencil led doesn't break easily.
Not only do I love them but my kids love them too! We did get free ones as part of the Bzz Campaign - we have gone and purchased several other packs.

BIC Velocity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these mechanical pencils are great. I love how they look. They are made very well. Some other mechanical pencils that we have used this year were very flimsy feeling. The BIC Velocity pencils are made with quality materials and almost feels like you are holding a pen instead. Love the extra lead and erasers that came with them too. The soft rubber grip around the pencils is a great addition too.
