Mountains of MCAT notes and NO blisters!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] How is this even possible?! These pencils were so comfortable that I actually didn't get blisters from all my note taking. I used to think all mechanical pencils were the same...CLEARLY not anymore! Not only are they cute and comfy, but they erased so nicely when I messed up (hate when you can see traces) AND the lead didn't break even though I write pretty hard. I am so pleased with these pencils! BIC truly raised the bar. So happy! :)

Pretty good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils are very good pencils. They seem to hold up pretty well. They are easy to use and easy to handle. The kids really enjoy using them. Its exciting to use a mechanical pencil instead of just a regular #2 wooden pencil. Its great to not have to sharpen every time the lead breaks like you would a normal pencil. Saves time and gives the kids more time to complete their school work. Defiantly a plus anytime time can be saved and devoted to school work without any extra distractions. These pencils write smoothly and are very good quality.

Homework is on POINT!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Homework has been so much easier for my children thanks to these pencils. They always have a sharp point when writing and the led is strong enough that it doesn't break after pages and pages of work. The comfort grip is an added bonus and helps my 1st grader hold the pencil better. My 6th grader loves to use these pencils in school because she doesn't have to worry about getting up to use a sharpener and they really do last. The 0.7 led is great because it doesn't write too thick or too thin and being that these pencils are #2 my kids are able to use them on any and every assignment. The erasers also work really nicely, erasing all the markings without leaving a faint trace or residue as some other erasers do.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i cannot stand using the traditional pencil. i am a pen user and i love it but these mechanical pencils were quite nice to work with. these pencils are very easy to grip and quite comfortable to write with. it is very similar to using a pen except you are actually using a pencil. the durability of these pencils were great and the design of the pencil is nice as well. i also liked that the pack came with erasers as well as the leads. we all need those items. i am very impressed with this pencil and in the future, i might think about actually buying these pencils instead of a pen. i am not there yet but this pencil will definitely change my mind about it. great job on the pencils!!

Fun colors

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are fun! We love the bright colors they come in. The kids were asking for some mechanical pencils and I gave them these and they love them! I also took some to work and put them in the pencil cup. Several people commented on the fun colors. I told them about bzzagent and how it works. A couple of people said they were going to go get some. This is the perfect time of year for this campaign because of the timing with back to school.

Love the bic mechanical pencil with it awesome grip

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these just in time for back to school! My 3 kids were excited when they saw the BIC Velocity pencils that i received as part of a promotion from BIC for giving a honest review. They come in bright fun colors! So I and the help of my 3 boys have been testing these pencils out! I have been using BIC for years and have used a lot of mechanical pencils in my day but these I have to say are my favorite! It's true, they write smoother and the lead is darker the lead also doesn't break as easy. But the fact they have a lot of lead and comes with an extra eraser for all 5 pencils in the package is awesome you don't find that I other packages it's nice especially when you have kids who can be pretty hard on them! But my favorite thing about these is the built in grip it makes writing so much more comfortable! They are so easy to hold onto! I and my kids have enjoyed using these. The kids have demand I get more and I'm ok with that cause I loved them as well.

Daughter gives it an A

from Livonia, NY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter has historically had a tough time with mechanical pencils because the leads are always snapping off and the erasers wear out long before she's ready for them to. What we both loved about this pencil was the strong lead (not prone to snapping) and the eraser cap. She also did love the grippy part of the pencil - more comfortable than the others that she has used in the past. Her only complaint was that the eraser needed to be maneuvered a certain way in order to get the clean erase of whatever she had written.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave this to my 3rd grader and she LOVES them! She said they are her favorite pencil and she was sad she was out of lead. All of her friends love them too and asked her where she got them. Looks like these will be a permanent addition to the list!
