[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these pencils are great. The mechanical pencils the LEAD comes out very easily the lead strong and it writes really well. The pencil has an easy grip the Eraser erase is very well and has a nice little cap on it to keep it from falling off are from getting messed up.

Super Excited for School

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Back to school shopping is always such a hassle, but my son was SO EXCITED to have these pencils to go back to school with. Not only were they cool looking and work wonderful, but he can avoid the manual sharpener! I guess these things are important!
I saved a few of the pencils back for my own use at home and at work. I have to say, I am as equally impressed as he is! The lead does not break as easily as some mechanical pencils, the lead writes dark and the eraser works great! Plus, it feels good in your hand unlike some of the thin ones you buy.
As a conservative/budget shopper, I was also very pleased that extra lead and erasers were included. We won't be running out to buy more supplies part way through the year! We will continue to buy this product for sure. Thank you BIC!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these pencils work well. It's great that these are number two pencils so the kids can use them at school. I also like taking these and using them when I'm working on my bills. They seem to write smooth and glide across your paper.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My children gave a pack to the neighbors and they were so excited that they were going to have matching school supplies!! They also were happy about the cool colors! They really loved the extra leads that came with the pack and said these were the only pencils that they would ever use

The best mechanical pencil made!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is honestly the best mechanical pencil I have ever used! Normally, when I try to use a mechanical pencil, I get tired of the lead breaking off if you write hard and then running out so fast because of it. This pencil is wonderful. The lead is nice and strong, it doesn't break when you are writing. The lead is nice and dark so you can see it! The Bic Velocity pencil writes so smooth. I usually write everything in pen, because pencil is harder to see for me. I have been picking up my bic pencil way more than my pen. I love love love that it comes with extra lead and erasers. I never would have imagined that i'd get this excited over a pencil! Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils have converted me to a pencil user full time! I gave two of my son's a bic pencil and they have been using it at school and at home during homework. They are about as excited about them as I am. So happy I got to try these. I think this Bic Pencil set was my favorite Bzzkit Product to review yet!

Excellent!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually stick to the packs of BIC pencils that have 24 cheap pencils in them, so I was really excited to have received these to buzz about! I was actually a little apprehensive at first, but, they have become my favorite lead based writing utensil!
Anyway, personally I think these pencils are great. They write very smoothly. I haven't had an issue with putting too much pressure and having the lead snap. The erasers on these pencils are pretty nice too. They don't seem to disintegrate into tiny specks like ones on cheaper mechanical pencils. They also don't make that horrible 'noise' that the pink erasers do either, which is great.
Speaking of erasers, one thing I don't understand is the caps. The erasers have caps on them. ...Why? I think they're supposed to prevent having the lead get pushed out accidentally while you have the pencils in your bag or a case or something. However, upon trying out these pencils for the first time, I immediately lost two of the caps. They're clear so they are very difficult to find if you misplace them. Be careful.
