True Colors

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fun colors, you can't pick just one! Comfortable and soft to hold. Smooth writing and erases clean. Must have for the coming school year. I usually avoid mechanical pencils for a few reasons. I tend to put a lot of pressure on writing tools, so the lead usually breaks on me resulting in a lot of lost product. It also is hard to refill the pencils trying to fit the lead into the tiny hole. My concern is people will used to cheap mechanical pencils that can't be refilled which they're used to throwing away then they run out of lead The Bic Velocity mechanical pencils, I have not had a problem. The lead seems to be very sturdy, and has not broken on us. That is a major bonus because I really didn't like wasting the product, even if it was just little pieces. The lead writes really smooth, and does not smear. It is even when writing, not too dark or too light. It is very comfortable to hold. These are so durable that they should last for along time. They are great for any age person to use. I would definitely recommend these pencils.

writes super smooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 14 YO was really excited to get these #BICVelocity mechanical pencils to try. He likes mechanical pencils much more than regular wood pencils. He really likes the look of these & he likes the way they write. They write very smooth & they erase completely without the eraser crumbling. While he's not exactly excited to start school, with these great #2 pencils he'll be ready for anything! #GotItFree *Disclaimer: I received this product free from Bic & BzzAgent for my honest review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So first of all i was curious i don't like mechanical pencil first of all because lead breaks of easily and i jave to keep buying some. I was really surprise how well the lead held up awsome strong smooth lead dark too. It erase good to the point where i couldn't see where i had erased. My kid's love the color's but the best part about is the sat down and wrote for no reason at all if my kid's like it then momma loves it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these are great refillable lead pencils! The lead is VERY strong and quite hard to break. They have a great grip/ finger holder and come in a bunch of fun colors! Additionally, I love how long the lead lasts, perfect for my kids school work and art!

Colorful and durable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] BIC again has proven why they are the best pencil and pen maker. The new velocity mechanical pencils are not only colorful but very durable as well. The tone of the lead is much darker on paper then any other mechanical pencil we have used. It also erases very well. The lead comes off easily and more cleaner, leaving none on the paper. The lead is also stronger which has caused less breaks then usually occur with mechanical pencils. All of these reasons are why my family is going to make it an must have school supply this year.

No more sharpener!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For years we struggled finding a decent sharpener. The pencils would always break and we ended up wasting lots of them. BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils are great. They are smooth and don't require a sharpener. We aren't wasting school supplies anymore. That's important to me as a single mom. #BICVelocity #GOtItFree

Write great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bic pencils write very well. You can put pressure on them without the lead breaking. The lead is nice and dark and writes very smooth. My only complaint is they do not erase well at all. I am hoping once the eraser is used a bit, it will work better but right now it is like rubbing plastic over the pencil marks I want to erase.

Teen likes it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My teen daughter tried one of these pencils out. She liked the purple and blue but hated the other colors. She would have rather have these in a green. Anyways, she took the blue and put it to the test. As with cheaper brands the lead breaking is an issue. No matter how little was out it broke on her and she used just enough pressure to write. Refill eraser was a good fit. She also like the softness of the finger cushion.
