Bic Pencils Rock!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave my oldest daughter a pack of BIC Velocity pencils to use at school and asked her to give me her feedback on how she liked them. She loved them! She said that the lead was a little darker which was nice because she said she didn't have to press as hard and she said the erasers actually stayed on which is a large problem with mechanical pencils. She will continue to use them. I am sure your kids will love them to!

Writes nice & comfortable to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not normally a mechanical pencil user, I prefer to use regular pencils, so I enlisted the help of my middle school son who uses them frequently. We compared the writing & ease of use of the new BIC velocity as well as a normal BIC mechanical & regular #2 pencil. What we found was that they all write very well, they are clear to read & make clean crisp lines. We did prefer the comfort & feel of the BIC velocity over the normal BIC & my son especially liked the lid that covers the eraser on the new BIC velocity. However he much prefers the way the old normal BIC mechanical pencil is refilled with led over the velocity. In the normal BIC the plastic top comes off & led is filled underneath, in the new velocity he has to actually remove the eraser & put the led in under it & then push the eraser back into the top. Over time as the eraser gets lower it gets difficult to get ahold of to pull out & refill with led. Plus having to pull it out often can result it in breaking or not wanting to stick back into it's place properly. I received this pack for free, however had I had to pay full price it would have been $3.64 for a 4 pack, which was more than many other mechanicals.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Variety of colors. Writes smoothly with out that annoying dry sound. Doesn't break lead as much as other brands we have used. All in all a pretty awesome pencil.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are amazing!!! The colors make them stylish for any child. They are very easy to use. The erasers and extra erasers make it so easy to correct a mistake. An I love love love that the erasers actually work!!! Usually mechanical pencils only have extra lead so in our case the kids won't use it after the eraser is gone so the extra erasers is a major thing and so smart!!!

Love these!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these are great pencils! The vibrant colors are a plus. When I used these they seem to be sturdier then the previous ones we have used in the past. Knowing they won't snap or shatter is good. My daughter wanted to take some of these to school instead of the usual ones we get for her so we are glad we got to test these out.

My kids LOVE these!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got these right as school was starting- had to buy a ton of school supplies, but out of all that I bought, my kids loved these mechanical pencils the best. My youngest is a leftie- and always has issues with hand cramps. These pencils are comfortable and work very well for him. They ease his had fatigue and make it easier to write. So far these are the only school supplies that haven't been damaged or lost. That is saying A LOT about how much they like them!

Bic velocity is amazing

from Indianapolis, IN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually use mechanical pencils for a few days and end up having to throw them out because they run out of eraser, lose the eraser, run out of lead and mess up after refilling, etc. I am still on the same velocity pencil I started with! So is my son! I bought so many of them! I've shared with so many people! I can't believe how wonderful this pencil is!
