[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these are wonderful pencils. My daughter had summer work to do. It was so hard to get her motivated. But once I let her pick her color of Velocity she was totally on board! Who would of thought a pencil would motivate a 10 year old?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids love using these pencils. They are great for all 4 of them, ages 6 to 11! Some lead pencils are bulky and doesn't fit well in a childs hand but these were a perfect fit for all of them.

My go to pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] BIC definitely knows how to make a great, durable product with the BIC Velocity #2 Mechanical pencils! First of all the packaging is inviting. With 5 bright colors (blue, yellow, orange, pink & purple), extra erasers (in a tube) and extra lead (in a tube) it catches your eye. These mechanical pencils have an attached eraser, eraser cap, plastic grip, metal tip (where lead appears), easy access to refill lead and the tip of the pencil unscrews if the lead gets stuck. This is the smoothest, darkest writing mechanical pencil. It erases cleanly (no smudges & doesn't leave any eraser particles behind). The pencil is extremely durable & comfortable to hold (not thin and cheap like other brands). The plastic finger grip is nice but I personally would prefer an even softer finger grip. One great feature is the metal (NOT PLASTIC) tip where the lead comes out! My 10 year old has gotten very frustrated with mechanical pencils because he complains the lead always breaks or it's uncomfortable to use. He LOVES these BIC Velocity mechanical pencils though! He hasn't broken lead and hasn't complained once about his hand cramping or hurting. Making a side-by-side comparison I notice that the BIC Velocity mechanical pencils are thicker, have a plastic finger grip and have a metal tip where the lead comes out. BIC Velocity mechanical pencils are the only brand for our household! These pencils are built to last! I have dropped them countless times and they come away working perfectly. Other brands that I have used have cracked upon dropping or the plastic tip where the lead comes out has broken off. To add lead is super easy: remove the eraser cap, pull out the eraser, drop in the lead! Also the tip of the pencil just below the finger grip unscrews in case the lead gets stuck (though this hasn't happened to me). If I had to find a slight negative, I don't really understand the need for an eraser cap because it's clear & can get lost easily. Regardless, BIC Velocity mechanical pencils are a great product and the only pencils I'll be sending to school with my kids. I'll be spreading the word to friends and family going out to buy school supplies!

Velocity pencils work great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils are great looking. They come in all the fun colors and work very well. The lead is strong and doesn't snap off easily as in other competitor pencils. The pencil writes smoothly and yet firmly. I found the lead to be very soft and yet strong. It didn't seem like I needed to write a few words before it became nice and round. It was smooth from the very first start. The extra easers provided with the pack is very thoughtful and will certainly come in handy some day I am sure, but for now the easer behind the pencil will do just fine. It erases off easily and doesn't leave any scoff marks. I will give it 4 stars though because I found the device itself to be a little heavy to pick up and write with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son used for his school work . Loves how it writes but told me the eraser needs to be improved a little because it smears more then anything. That I can deal with because of how it writes plus trying it for free as a bzzagent. So only one thing we see needs improvement is really a good thing in our books. Keep up the good work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My middle schooler is in love with mechanical pencils, the biggest issue we have with them is math! The erasing and rewriting repeatedly is just not easy with most mechanical pencils. BIC velocity mechanical pencils erase neatly and write nicely, very important to those of us who have to refigure problems multiple times. He is happy with this brand including spare erasers in the packages too, that was a genius move on BICs part. He doesn't care for pink pencils, so decided he will share the pink ones in the pack with friends when we purchase them again.
