Great mechanica pencil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoy trying new products but all too often I find they do NOT live up to the claims and I end up wasting money and have to buy a tried a true product. BIC is a company that I have always thought had great products and I look for when purchasing products. Unfortunately sometimes they are a bit more costly but I have learned through experience, they are well worth the additional cost.
These pencils are great for anyone to use. They are comfortable and feel like a pen in my hand something many mechanical pencils do not provide which is what I prefer when writing. I like the colors as well and the shape of the pencil itself as well as the ability to add lead and not have to worry about sharpening a pencil. The lead writes nice and dark more like a No2 pencil. At one point we were told we could not use mechanical pencils as they would not write dark enough or properly. That was not an option so I had them evaluated and we were granted permission to use BIC VELOCITY mechanical pencils which was great.
Would I buy these again - YES, I already have bought them again - not because they break but that I needed more as people love them and cannot wait to take one from me. Are they worth the cost - YES in my opinion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are great! They are durable, come in fun colors, and most importantly my middle schooler was so excited to use them this year. The extra leads and erasers are such a nice touch. Thank you Bic for knowing what we'd need!

Best mechanical pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok so how great can a mechanical pencil be? It's made of plastic - check, it has an eraser- check and a seemingly endless supply of lead. So what makes the Bic Velocity so different than other pencils? It writes really smoothly and the plastic shaft has a soft rubber grip so it feels like a nice quality pen. Plus the package comes with replacement leads as well as extra erasers. One pack could last your kids the entire school year easily. These have become my go-to pencils. I absolutely love them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has been in school now for 2 weeks and loves the pencil. The Bic Velocity writes so smoothly and has handled well with his daily work load. The pencil is easy to hold, and has a nice grip. The colorful barrel of the pencil makes it fun to use as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a pen and pencil junkie. Thanks to BzzAgent, I was able to try these cool Velocity Mechanical Pencils. It's been a while since I have used a wooden pencil since I always used mechanical pencils when I was in school. These pencils wrote very nice and didn't break every second like others. I liked the colors that were included and how it also came with an extra thing of erasers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids and I loved these pencils. They've been using them everyday for school with no complaints about them. I've been using them to write notes and lists for store trips and messages and such and I like them as well. It erases good and the lead doesn't break as easily as other mechanical pencils out there.

A little weird at first...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually got to keep these pencils for myself since I'm a full time college student, and I was super excited to give these a try. I will admit they took a few days to get used to. They're thicker around the bottom part of the pencil, so if you're used to a slim "average" pencil, these will feel extremely weird. Now that I've been using them for a couple of weeks, I love them. They have a great grip, they write smoothly and the eraser works great. They're colorful and I haven't seen many people with them, so they're also stylish in their own way.
