Kids are loving them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are the greatest. I love taking one in my purse to do my puzzles with and it is hard prying them away from the kids. They go through them like colored candy. They like to take them to their friends at school too them there are none left for me. I love the way the erasers stand up to the toughest ones. They glide through almost anything and it is not like most led pencils where you have to bare down real hard.I just love em! #BICVelocity and #GotItFree #bzzagent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bic Velocity mechanical pencils are now at the top of every single back to school Supply list I will ever make. As soon as I got them in the kids were begging to open them and try them out. Of course I let them! The kids love that it's so easy to fully erase and that they don't have to press as hard to get nice "dark lines" I love that the strong lead is harder to break than other mechanical pencils and that they can be refilled. These pencils are so great. We will definitely be buying more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 6th grader and 4th grader are super excited to try these at school tomorrow. I home school my boys and plan on putting these pencils to good use first thing in the morning. The bright, fun colors make them visually stimulating as well as functional. I hope they hold up to my busy and not always so gentle boys,

Big Hit here!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These went right to my 4th Grader to test out. He loves mechanical pencils and says these are really good. He also found out that you can take the squishy part off and exchange it with one from another pencil in another color. This gave him a bunch of customized 2 tone mechanical pencils, which must be something exciting to your average 4th grader. He thought it was pretty cool.
Also, it writes very well and he can no easily do his homework! A plus for me, not so much for him- he's a homework hater!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantatic mechanical pencils!! They are very fluid writing and very comfy on your fingers. Lots of fun and great colors to choose from! The extra erasers and leads makes this even more awesome! Try them out!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 17 year old daughter uses the BIC Velocity mechanical pencils for school! She loves how smooth they write, how awesome the eraser is, the variety of colors, and the way they felt when she held them! She said she will always use these pencils in the future! We are now BIC Velocity fans!!

Bic has improved upon the mechanical pencil.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bic's new Velocity mechanical pencils are the update to outdated mechanical pencils that have been around forever. Every year parents buy mechanical pencils for their kids to take to school. Many even buy the disposable kind (what a waste!) Some parents try to eliminate waste by buying mechanical pencils with lead refills. My own Mother used to buy these for me. But then what happens is that you not only run out of lead, but your eraser wears down and eventually renders your pencil useless. You're left with lead refills and useless pencils. A pencil is completely useless without an eraser. You may as well be using a pen. So Bic has a solution to this problem. Velocity mechanical pencils come with eraser refills!!
Overall, the Bic Velocity mechanical pencil is pretty great with a sleek clear appearance, nice colors, thick lead and nice erasers. The only complaint I had was that the pencil itself was a tad thick for my liking. But I have arthritic hands so this may not bother others.
I will definitely choose to buy these over competitor mechanical pencils in the same price category.
