Tough Lead
on August 1, 2016
Posted by: ginaaliyah

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a really hard time finding lead pencils that work really well. I love these so much! The lead didn't break easily and the lighting of my writing came out dark and rich. I can't stand writing with a lead pencil that makes my writing hard to read and it feels like writing with a needle. Bic makes my life feel much better! These mechanical pencils are the best. The thicker lead makes life so much easier. Thank you Bzz Agent And Bic for sending me these for free to test out!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My oldest is going into fifth grade and last year he went through pencils like crazy including mechanical pencils. He would ditch the mechanical pencils the second their erasers looked dirty. These come with extra erasers as well as the extra lead. These pencils came with extra paint.

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!

Sturdy and colorful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are definitely sturdier than most mechanical pencils. We had a lot less issues with breaking lead. They erase pretty cleanly though not as well as I'd hoped. My daughter who has hand tremors found them difficult to hold though, and the refill lead was a bit of a pain to use. However we really loved the fun colors and high quality lead and erasers!

Bic Velocity #2

from Rathdrum, ID
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the pencils in the mail with great excitement. I gave a pencil to my daughter and one to my son in law. They are both students. Then I brought the rest to my job and passed them out to my co-workers. I have had 2 co-workers exclaim how nice they are. The Velocity is a smooth writer and quite easy to hold. I passed out all the coupons at the school registration at the high school of my district.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son only wants these pencils! His favorite color is orange and loves the fact that when he runs out of lead he can refill it. It rights smooth and erase very well. The lead is strong because he rights hard and it holds up!
