In Love of BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two daughters, ages 11 and 15, and they LOVE these pencils! They are easy to grip and write really smooth. The erasers don't smear. The lead doesn't break as often as other mechanical pencils do. They also love how the set comes with extra lead and erasers. Plus, these pencils come in cute colors and look really good. I will definitely be buying more. #BICVelocity #GOTITFREE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I waited to put in a review until my son used them at school. Needless to say, he loves them. He took the whole pack to school and stored them in his locker. The pencil has a nice grip to hold it and writes great.

Love Bic Velocity!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used other Bic products previously, so I was familiar w/the brand. However, this was the first time I tried their Velocity mechanical pencils. Upon receiving my pencils, the first thing I noticed about them were the bright and vibrant colors of the casing. That will get your day started in the right direction. Next, I noticed that the package came with not just lead refills (which you usually have to purchase separately w/other brands), but it also included eraser refills... bonus!!! Operating was similar to a pen, in that you just click the top. The rubber grips provided extra comfort, while the pencil itself wrote very smoothly. Although I found that the erasers didn't erase the marks completely, it was adequate... about the same as other mechanical pencils that I've used. The fact that they are #2 pencils is also great, as this is what's required in most schools. Overall, I really like these pencils, as they provided a great writing experience. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because of the eraser, but that's not a deal-breaker. Anyway, it looks like I will need to purchase extra packs of the Bic Velocity mechanical pencils for my kids, as I'm not sharing mine! d:-)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils were great! First of I love the colors they come in. Also having the additional lead and erasers that come with it are so helpful. Most mechanical pencils will no bring additional items like that. Also the eraser worked great, there was no need for a different eraser for the dirty marks. These pencils are absolutely amazing!

BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils: a big hit from the beginnin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My teens and even us adults are more than impressed by the BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils! This is my updated review after giving them, and us, some extra time to use them throughout the summer before school starts. My 15 year old very particular daughter has been using them nonstop during summer doing her Advanced Summer English assignment. She?s also been using them to study for Spanish for the upcoming year, and her drivers permit test. She uses the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils to make note cards for each subject to study. They have become extremely helpful in encouraging her to be on task. My 13 year old son has had occupational issues and fine motor skill issues all his life. Handwriting has been a struggle for him and much more frustration than fun. He absolutely loves these pencils and has been using them to practice his writing skills. He's been writing short stories at home about things he enjoys l, or fun things we?ve done over the summer. He has also been using them in Occupational Therapy as well. The vibrant choice of colors excites them as well as the fine darker lead which helps make their writing more crisp and clear. This is especially helpful for my son given his challenges with handwriting. The soft grip is exceptionally helpful for my son and even my daughter, which provides a more comfortable grip. No more need to sharpen a pencil, and refilling lead and erasers is a breeze. The BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils have been a life saver for us! These pencils have helped pull my kids away from their electronics and get their minds back into school ahead of time. Which as a parent that's a major achievement! They are an amazing learning tool for a variety of age ranges. They help in engaging children of all ages so they can be more passionate about writing. They have aided in sparking a passion for writing in our home. These would be an amazing tool in not only an educational school environment, but also those used to help children learn the skills to succeed in improving their handwriting for school. All of us as a family feel the BIC Velocity Mechanical pencils surpass the average mechanical pencil, and we highly recommend that families give them a try this year during school. The only letdown is that the erasers are not as strong as they could be. My kids prefer to use different erasers. That doesn't discourage me from giving 5 stars because regardless of this they are an amazing mechanical pencil and completely worth the purchase!
