Fantastic new mechanical pencil
on August 15, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kids LOVE these new BIC velocity mechanical pencils. The cool colors let each child choose which color they want to claim: pink, red, green, yellow, blue. Five in each pack make it perfect to still have extras in the house for all your writing needs. The pencil grips helps keep little hand comfortable as they do ALL their school work. It's squishy as the kids say. The cap on the eraser gets thrown out as soon as they get their pencils because it's just in the way. These erasers on the tip erase cleanly so corrections are actually made verses having stray marks all over. To top off all the other great things about this pencil BIC provides extra #2 lead and erasers! Thank you so much Bic for the New velocity mechanical pencils. It helps make school more fun!

My son loves his mechanical pencils!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have always used mechanical pencils but not this particular brand. We're use to using them and once the lead was gone we discarded them. They were very flimsy and could be easily broken. These are of such great quality and my son absolutely loves them.

Where is the color?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all I need to say that in general I don't like to use mechanical pencils. I never had. I don't like how they feel, I don't like how they write and I don't like that the lead brakes all the time. That been said I still was a little excited to try the BIC Velocity mechanical pencils because I thought they were different. They looked so colorful I was under the impression they were colored pencils! Unfortunately I got very disappointed because they are not! The orange one writes gray, the yellow one writes grey, well you get the picture. What a disappointment. I feel like I was misled, so was my son, who too thought they were going to be colored pencils. On the other hand, my daughter, somehow, knew they were regular mechanical pencils so her expectations were not as high and she enjoyed using them. I still have the problem with the lead that breaks too easily. Also when I try to erase I guess I must be pushing too hard because I cause the lead to come out. I am ok with that because long ago I came to the conclusion that mechanical pencils are not for me but I still am upset that the packaging was very misleading, for me anyway. It looks like they are colored pencils.

Perfect pencil!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loves these mechanical pencils. He just worked on a school assignment & was thrilled that not one time did the lead split, crumble, or break off while he was writing. He presses hard when he writes so he will often break the lead. Thank you BIC for making a fantastic mechanical pencil!!

never ending lead

from Lindstrom, MN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being that time of year when everyone is scrambling to find school supplies we always jump to the mechanical kind. We have tried other brands and have never been happy with them. Always breaking and losing the lead. With the Bic Velocity mechanical pencil we have not had to replace the lead yet. The lead is thicker than most and very smooth. It almost feels like a pencil that has to be sharpened. The eraser is really good. Others crumble when used. The Velocity held up really well. We will be purchasing more packages before they fly off the shelves.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 11 year old just loved receiving the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils! She constantly requests to have mechanical pencils. She loves the colors of them all! Thank you so much for the free pencils. She will be passing out the pencils when she attends the last week of camp to her friends. I love it best because the lead is replaceable!

Great pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love these pencils! The lead is super easy to raise and writes super smooth. It's a great thing that they come with extra lead an extra erasers, we are always losing the erasers. The bright colors make homework more fun and the lead makeS The kids handwriting neater. The lead did not seem ti break as easily as other mechanical pencils we've tried.
