BIC VelocityÆ Mechanical Pencils are the best!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think BICÆ Velocity Mechanical Pencils are great. My kids and I have been using them for about a month now and really do like them. Not only are they comfortable to hold when writing, but they come in great colors and provide smooth lead for a better writing experience. And the lead was easily erased. What more could you ask for in a mechanical pencil?

BICÆ VelocityÆ Mechanical Pencils are great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the BICÆ VelocityÆ Mechanical Pencils! Thank you for sending me 2 packages because I have 3 kids in school and this really helped them out tremendously. They love how easy the pencils are to use and they don't have to keep getting up to sharpen pencils. The lead is nice, flows across the page and doesn't smudge or smear. Eraser on top does a good job removing all trace of pencil, you can barely see anything was there. I also love the fact it comes with extra lead and erasers. Great job BIC!

Beyond mechanical

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My tween/teen kids love the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils. I barely had them out of the BzzAgent box and they both absconded with them. Traditional pencils aren't as cool with big kids. The mechanical BIC pencils are especially great for my high school kid in his architectural drawing class. He is impressed with the ease of use and sharp lines.

BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils Improves Penmanship
on September 17, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that the comfort grip on these pencils, along with the ease of smooth writing and the effectiveness of the erasers has improved the penmanship of my 8 year old daughter. It seems that she holds the pencils much easier and in the correct position. When she has to erase a mistake, the erasers on these pencils make it easy and don't leave a mess behind. She loves that she can just click and doesn't have to keep sharpening her pencils to keep them pointed and easy to write with.

Great Bic Velocity Pencils
on September 17, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have spoke to many of my friends and family about these new Bic velocity mechanical pencils. They write so easily at times I think that I am writing with a Uniball pen. The pencil is a #2 however, it writes darker and with much more fine lines. The ease of the writing is very appealing to us; as we have Ehlors Danlos Syndrome ( a connective tissue Disorder ) that courses great pain. This disorder can make writing painful when we need to clutch the pencil so tightly just to write with most pens and pencils. The connective tissues in the hands and wrist often can not take the added strain and pressure from the constant gripping and writing. During the summer I was researching varies things to help my daughter ( whom suffers with a sever case) get through the school year with all of the writing and dealing with the pain that comes with it. The velocity pencils have been a God send and a huge comfort for my daughter! These pencils have made doing her schoolwork much easier. The colorful barrels make the pencils more appealing and fun for the kids. Another great perk to these pencils is that the pencil erases clean and they have extra leads and erasers packaged with them. Unlike many other mechanical pencils if the bottom point is unscrewed by accident the lead doesn't fall out. The only downside is that the eraser side is whatever extends the pencil and seems to be a bit sensitive. This means that at times when erasing you may extend the pencil. We would recommend these to anyone and everyone.

Bic Velocity is #1!
on September 17, 2016
Posted by: Empbent
from Tallahassee, FL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The package of Bic Velocity Pencils comes with 5 brightly colored mechanical pencils, a tube of replacement lead and also a tube of replacement erasers. Myself and my son loved the way these pencils wrote and the feel of the pencil in your hand. The writing was so smooth and the pencils had a really good grip on them, which didn't make your hand hurt from using them. The lead was sturdy and measures in at 0.7mm, so it is thicker and doesn't snap off or break like other mechanical pencil lead that I have used in the past. Another bonus of the Bic Velocity pencil was how cleanly the marks erased with no smudging. This is a must for kids and adults alike who have to do correcting of their work. I would absolutely recommend these for anyone who writes with pencils!

A nearly perfect pencil
on September 17, 2016

from Gordonville, PA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these new pencils from BIC. They are very bright so I can find them in my junk drawer, though I would love to see a bright green one since I am not a pink fan. I love, love LOVE that the metal portion of the tip retracts completely into the unit so I don't stab myself when searching my purse for a writing implement. I love the chunkiness of the grip and how dark and smooth it writes. I also really love that it comes with not only extra leads but extra erasers. I have thrown out numerous other brands of mechanical pencils because they had refillable leads but a fixed eraser and once that was worn down you either couldn't erase or had to carry around a separate eraser. The only think that could possible make these better is that I found the little indentation for your grip to be slightly too far up the pencil for my preference. I found my fingers settling a bit below this in the hollow at the far end by the tip which was still comfortable but didn't give quite as much control in my writing. This is a minor issue however and I would not give these up because of it.

Clean Writing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked BIC Velocity lead pencils. The colorful variety that comes in a package was a hit with my children because they were able to use their favorite colors. They enjoyed the ease of use the pencils and not having to press down to hard to write a clear readable line. They also liked how easy it was to erase any mistakes, and how the eraser didn't leave a smudge. The lead pencils are really great!
