Great Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like these pencils. I don't use pencils much (stay at home mom and all) but I will every now and then reach for one of these over everything else I have. They write smoothly and the lead lasts a good while. I did give them to my girls for school this year and they won't touch the regular pencils you have to sharpen, unless they are using the BIC Xtra Fun pencils I received as well. These are a great investment.

Cute pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils are great for kids! They come in fun colors instead of boring black mechanical pencils. My daughter says it feels like using a pen when she writes with them but it is a pencil. She loves that! They have a nice, easy open case for extra lead. The pencils are #2 so they can be used in school and erase smoothly. Lots of fun for kids!

Great for not a pencil person

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not a pencil person. I have never liked the way they always seem light when writing unless pishing real hard. Then if there is a mistake you can't do anything. Well I tried the bic velocity mechanical pencil and now it is a must have in my pen container. It has a very smooth dark finish. Able to have a great finish and able to erase if need be. My kids keep taking them from my desk now. Great for any age. The lead is very strong that I am not worried about having a lot of extra lead avaible because the lead breaks #bzzagent #igetitforfree

He loves them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to say the older my son is getting the more he wants cooler school supplies. He does not like regular pencils as much since he has to sharpen them that is why these mechanical pencils were great. Also the grip is very comfortable, and now that he is in middle school he does a lot more writing and this mechanical pencil is great for lots of writing. He loves them!

Still a big hit for school as a go to mechanical pencil!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has been over a month and the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencil is still the choice my children use at school and at home. The mechanical pencils have lasted this long and have not had to buy replacements. The lead still writes smoothly after a long period of use. The lead is strong and does not easily break I have not had to replace the lead as often with pervious brands. The easers do not smudge when erasing maintaining the paper clean and presentable. I still use it for school work as well and I even added it to use at work. The mechanical pencil is still a hit with the family!

A nearly perfect pencil
on September 17, 2016

[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.

Smooth Writing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received #BICVelocity to sample and review. I let my students use these pencils while they wok in my classroom. They love the different colors that are available. I appreciate the fact that time isn't wasted when someone's pencil tip breaks. They just have to click the eraser to receive more lead. I personally like how smooth the eraser is. The pack also came with extra lead AND extra erasers, that's was a huge bonus. Erasers are usually the first thing to go, and I've had students throw out their pencils before just because their eraser is gone. I am glad my students were able to try these out. These pencils would make great school supplies because I know most kids would rather use mechanical pencils anyway.
