[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These mechanical pencils are pretty awesome. Now that my kids have started school it has become the prime opportunity to see how well they work! The fact that the erasers work so well is a huge bonus! My daughter used them at camp to write in her journal and she loved them. I also like how the lead doesn't break as easily as other pencils! I also think that the price for these is super reasonable. Definitely have and will continue to recommend these to friends and family!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Office supply stores are my happy place, and new writing instruments are my favorite things to buy, so getting to test out the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils was pretty awesome for this working mom. I took most of the pack to work with me, but also sent 2 to school with my 7th grader this morning when she left for her very first day of junior high. The Velocity pencils have a very smooth grip and feel nice to the touch, and I hope they'll withstand the hours of note taking that I'm sure my oldest will encounter soon. One of the BEST things about this pack of pencils was the inclusion of extra lead and extra erasers. There's no doubt that you have the correct size of each, and they are in a handy case to keep them safe. Big bonus points there.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids and I love our #BICVelocity Mechanical pencilsrom BzzAgent and BIC!!! My 10 year old is getting to the age of not liking a regular #2 pencil. She prefers a mechanical, so these couldn't have come at a better time. She's super stoked about getting to take a couple to school this year! She's constantly sitting down and writing stories or drawing pictures! She loves the colors and the fact that when she makes a mistake, she can easily erase it. These are, by far, the easiest and most effectively erasable (if that makes sense) mechanical pencils we have ever used. I love the fact that the lead is stronger and, therefore, we go through less of it because it's breaking a lot less frequently! The only somewhat negative comment I could possibly come up with is that I would have loved to have seen more replacement lead (since there are 5 pencils in the pack). That's not a deal breaker, though, since these pencils are great! I struggle with my fingers hurting where I grip the pencil and I've used this one for an hour straight and it doesn't happen thanks to the gripper on the end! I would definitely recommend these pencils to everyone, students, teachers, office personnel, etc., and have! I have shared a couple that I received in my freebies and look forward to sharing the coupons I received, after I use a couple to boost my own stock!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The BIC velocity pencils are strong and can withstand all four of my children deopping them multiple times. They are bold and bright in color so they attract each one and all them love the smooth writing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the smooth writing and comfort grip these pencils have. Not only does the lead last a super long time, they are super comfortable to write with. These will be our new go to pencils for this coming school year!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very impressed with these pencils as not only are they pretty to look out they write really well. These help my younger kids write more neatly and makes it easier for myself and the teacher to read. My kids love the colors so that is a added bonus@

The Lead just keeps growing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although these pencils are fun colors and attractive to kids - I really dislike the waste of lead that happens - you see, like most kids - my children use the eraser almost as much as the pencil. And when they press the eraser down on the paper - oops! The lead just keeps growing out of the pencil. There must be some better design! I ended up having to remove the erasers from all the pencils before they used them again.

Nice but awkward

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like that it's a thicker pencil and it's harder to break. I really like the vibrant unique colors especially the yellow. The writing is smooth and comfortable. I took off a star because when you use the eraser the the lead can fall out sometimes. I know that to include the eraser it has to be where it is but most people don't use the eraser so I think it should be removed. I also find that the led breaks very easily. I don't push the led out far and it still finds a way to break. Overall, it's a strong pencil but without the eraser and constant led breaking this will be my go to pencil.
