The Perfect Pencil!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received 2 packs of BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils as part of this great Bzz campaign. Each pack contained 5 pencils in different colors a small tube of refillable erasers (what!) and a small tube of refillable lead. I gave a pack to my daughter to keep for school in September because she was just so excited when she saw them. According to her, these are definitely cool enough for middle school... phew! She loves mechanical pencils... lol she really does and so last year once in a while I would bring home a mechanical pencil or two from work (shhhh) for her but they are just the plain yellow Papermate ones we have at the office. I have never actually bought mechanical pencils because I just didn't think they were good enough for the money. When we saw, these we couldn't wait to try them so I opened the other pack and gave her the blue and purple ones... her favorite colors...yay and I took pink, yellow and orange. Ok so yes I have a favorite too, orange but since I was going to review them, I had to look at more than just the cool colors although I will admit they are definitely much nicer to look at than the plain yellow ones. Compared to the Papermate mechanical pencils I had been using, these were definitely better. I love that they are refillable so already better than all those other ones that aren't. Not only can you refill the lead but you can replace the eraser too and both very easily which means that you don't waste the nice pencil even though you have used up the lead or eraser. The BIC pencils are thicker and have a cushioned grip that is very comfortable to hold. They write with a nice, smooth and dark, sharpness without having to press down extra hard and then worry that the lead is going to snap. Not what you would expect from a mechanical pencil but exactly what would expect from a regular pencil. They don't need sharpening which is nice since I have taken my" colors to work and we don't actually have a pencil sharpener there. I also like that they erase well and cleanly which is important to me

Loving The BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils
on August 3, 2016

from Parkville, MD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a full-time writer and editor, I have been through too many pencils and pens to count over the years. It is not easy to find a writing implement that can do everything I would like. If I can find a decent mechanical pencil that has good lead, I am happy. If I can find another pencil with a decent eraser, I'm content. If I can find a pencil that is comfortable to hold, that is great. With the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencil, I've found all of these qualities in ONE PENCIL! The comfortable grip on the pencil makes it easy to hold, the 0.7 lead is not too light and not too dark, the eraser on the pencil actually erases without leaving smudges and streaks on the paper. I am a happy writer and plan to use these pencils as long as I can!

Amazing pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely think these are the best pencils out on the market. Velocity pencils write very smooth unlike other pencils out there. The pencils are easy to refill and the lead seems to last longer.

Awesome mechanical pencil!!
on August 3, 2016
Posted by: smoothiekisses84
from Saint Paul, MN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The back of the pencil is unremarkable; a clear plastic cap covers a small, white, barely functional eraser (it works about as well as most mechanical pencil erasers). This assembly can be pushed down to activate the lead advance mechanism. Just down from this is a plastic clip, functionally all right, with the pencil?s information written on it. Down from there, the body is clear and straight until it get to the rubberized grip section where it bulges then hourglasses, creating a nice place to rest your fingers. The little cap cone after this is clear, and has the metal tip floating inside so that is retracts when the lead is retracted, preventing the tip from getting caught on anything. Writing is fine. The lead is standard. It doesn?t break much, goes on smoothly enough and dark enough for school or office work. There is no advanced shock absorber or lead turning to prevent any damage, though, but at the price, that?s teetering on the edge of reason. The grip is comfortable enough to get one through writing or drawing without too much trouble. It doesn?t slip and isn?t too narrow. The overall construction is solid, and it feels like it won?t break in your hand. Overall, the Velocity is fine. It isn?t the best mechanical pencil ever, and it has no real features, but it?s solidly and relatively comfortably built. It is fairly inexpensive and comes with enough refills of erasers and lead to last the user for some time. As far as inexpensive options go for mechanical pencils, it?s a good one, but there?s nothing special about it.

VELOCITY VICE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter was so excited to see these are her fave pencils to use. We've tried other brands but always come back to Bic and these Velocity pencils are the best in vivid lead and great erasers that don't crumble or fall off right away. Love the size of the barrel for great writing ease!
