Never need to sharpen again!
on September 12, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves all the pretty colors to choose from in the package. She also loves the fact that she doesn't have to get up from her desk to sharpen her pencil. The extra lead does go pretty quickly, but I think they sell larger packages of that as well and we will be purchasing. The erasers do a great job, but also wear down pretty fast, so we use the cap erasers on them. No biggie. My daughter has always loved to write, but this helps even more!

Great lead!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that these pencils are awesome - no smudge lead. Easy to use. The only thing is the eraser comes out easily, but that's really not a big deal. My daughter loves using these for all of her homework. Thanks BzzAgent and BIC!

Maintain Writing Velocity with BIC Velocity
on September 12, 2016
Posted by: lanie3261
from Floresville, TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son will only write with mechanical pencils. As a teacher I have never been a fan because of snapping leads, lead replacement, scratchy writing noise, and shredding erasers. Boy are the BIC Velocity none of that! They write smoothly without catching or scratching on the paper. I have had no issues with pressure breaking the lead constantly like I have had with some in the past. My son loves these, too, after only using his one favorite brand. This is HUGE because he is one where he finds something he likes and sticks with it. While doing homework he needed more lead so I let him use one of mine. He instantly loved it. His other kind had a lot of extra clear plastic around it adding a bulkier grip, which he liked, but it cracked and broke off quite often. He doesn?t have one of those pencils that aren?t cracked. These are a slimmer grip and a sleeker body/casing. Now that he?s been using these for a month, and being in high school he throws them in his pocket and goes to the next class, they have withstood it all. The erasers are strong, don?t shred, and don?t require constant replacement like others. The package does come with extra erasers though! I also like the caps on the erasers that keep it from pushing out too much extra lead. Since my son has it in his pocket, I am sure this has helped with longevity of use. Mine are in my teacher bag and it has kept the erasers clean, too. While I am trying the product free thanks to BIC, my opinions and experiences are my own and I have been very pleased. I definitely recommend it.

Seventh Grade Star Pencil

from Toledo, OH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Seventh Grader uses mechanical pencils at school when she's not typing and was very excited to get this new pack of BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils to try out. She says they are very smooth and erase really easily unlike others she has had that burned through her erasers and would ultimately tear her paper. Plus, they are comfortable to hold and colorful! The other students always ask to borrow them.

BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils
on September 12, 2016
Posted by: mk1220
from Sparta, TN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids having been using the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils for a while now. This has inspired them to write more. We homeschool and they love being able to choose their own colors. My son has one issue with the entire pencil experience. He absolutely loves the smooth writing and comfortable grip of the pencil, as well as, how dark the lead writes. However, he doesn't feel the eraser can fully erase the dark marks. He thinks the erasers need improving. I did notice on some of his writings that the mistakes that were erased were still visible. Otherwise, we all love the pencils! I will definitely be buying more.

Great for work as well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils aren't only for children! I work at a Heavy Duty Towing and Diesel Mechanic Shop. You wouldn't think there would be a huge use for writing utensils, but oh are you wrong my friends!!! I, as office manager, use pencils everyday in my job and boy am I picky about the pencils and pens that I use! I have been a huge fan of BIC Velocity ink pens for years and was so excited when I saw these new pencils. I am able to write darker, smoother, and more precisely with these pencils!! But they guys out in the shop love them as well! They are able to clip them to their pockets and not worry about them breaking like traditional wooden pencils. They also love that when they don't have to stop working to take the time to find a sharpener when they are out of lead. More lead with the click of a button. They love them so much that the entire pack I brought in to keep at my desk is gone!

Best mechanical pencils
on September 12, 2016
Posted by: Nakjak1905
from Ludlow, MA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] BIC velocity mechanical pencils are the best mechanical pencils! They are lightweight, sturdy and durable & feel like a pen in your hand. The lead writes smoothly like a ballpoint too and the lead doesn't break every 2 seconds or tear the paper like some generic mechanical pencils. Plus they're easily refillable (making them even better!)My oldest daughter prefers mechanical pencils and these are the only ones she'll use now! Thanks BIC for giving me the chance to try these free!
