Quality mechanical pencils with perks!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My two teenager and myself (a teacher) are experts in mechanical pencils. These are awesome. The lead is strong and does not break. I've bought several mechanical pencils that write great but then randomly break because the lead is already broken inside the pencil. Another thing I love about these pencils.....replaceable lead AND erasers. I've purchased other pencils that come with extra lead. It is rare to find replaceable erasers. These pencils also have a nice grip. Have already repurchased!

Smooth writing, but not perfect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good pencil. It writes very smooth, refills easily, and has a good feel. The colors are also bright which makes the pencil look nice. The writing is better than most mechanical pencils I have tried, including other Bic, Zebra, and Cross brands. There is no drag as you are writing which I have found with other mechanical pencils. It does provide a very smooth writing experience free of those annoying scratching sounds some pencils make on paper. With that being said, good pencil, but would I buy it for myself or my child? I would buy it for myself because I keep up with things, but my children (ages 7 & 13) do not keep up with things and these pencils are about a $1.15 each (although they come in packages of 5) from my local box store. The price would have kept me from buying them so I am glad I received them free to try. Also, a pet peeve that I have is having a cap on the eraser. WHY??? Is it to keep the white eraser cleaner? Although, I do not know why it is there, I find it cumbersome to have a lid on the eraser. It seems the eraser could have been larger without the lid. I would chunk the lid, but the pencil looks funny without it, so I am still removing and replacing it after each error.

Schools in session with Bic Velocity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not one to usually use a mechanical pencil, but I found the Bic Velocity to be a great product. Other mechanical pencils (we have tried anything from store brands to Pentel to papermate ) do not write very dark and sometimes squeak when writing which sends chills down my spine. Other brands seem to break easily as well. Bic Velocity has a smooth, strong lead with minimal breakage and a great eraser. Other erasers just smear the marks around on the paper or it doesn't do a great job getting rid of the marks at all. Bic Velocity seemed to do the trick! Erasing marks couldn't be easier. It doesn't tear the paper or smear the writing! Just click, write and erase! My kids enjoyed the comfort grip and the bold colors. They both have quite a stash of mechanical pencils, but when they saw these, they had to grab a few to add to their collection. They were both impressed with how smoothly they write and wanted to get more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pencil writes smoothly but doesn't erase completely. The cute colors and extra lead and erasers are a bonus.

Great Bic Velocity Pencils

[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 Mechanical Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils are definitely the best mechanical pencils on the market. My son loves mechanical pencils and always asks for them for school. When he first tried the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils he immediately commented on how dark and smooth they write. He tried the eraser and was happy to report that everything erased right off with no leftovers lead marks. He absolutely loves how strong the lead is and that it doesn't break off easily. The BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils will definitely be the new pencils in out home!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids are crazy over these mechanical pencils. They are made good and not cheaply made like most. The lead doesn't break so easy so they get more use out of them. Will be buying more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Now that my kids are back in school, they have put the Bic velocity mechanical pencils to the test. They love them! They have shared with their friends as well and everybody loves them. They write nice and they don't have to get up to sharpen them so the teacher loves them too! I love that they are refillable as well.
