Can't buy eraser refills
on October 23, 2023
Posted by: KD1901
Love the pencils. However, I found individual lead refill packs, but cannot find any packs of just eraser refills. They only sell the erasers with new pencils. This is a complaint of a lot of customers and BIC has yet to fix the issue.

Excellent pencils...especially the .9mm lead
on March 12, 2024

I love these for the wood shop. The .9mm lead is tough enough for lots of marking.
Cannot find eraser refills. No one seems to make a 6mm diameter eraser. WHY WHY WHY?
I would recommend this to a friend!

BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using BIC Velocity mechanical pencils for a month, I feel I've gotten a very good idea of their quality and worth. I have used them myself, my children have used them to complete their homeschool assignments, and my students have used them during tutoring. They're very sturdy, with excellent quality lead and fantastic little erasers that erase cleanly. My children and students love picking out which color they want to use. They sell for a reasonable price, so I'm not worried when one goes missing. I've only found one problem with the pencils that has appeared in every single one we've used. The metal base where the lead comes out doesn't stay put. It pushes back up inside the shaft of the pencil when pressure is applied. It appears to be a technical design flaw, but it makes those pencils unusable. I'd love to continue using these pencils when they correct this flaw.

Basic pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were just like any other type of mechanical pencil. There wasn't anything really special about these. They work and write and hold up just like any other brand pencil does. They came in basic colors, rainbow. I looked at them in several different stores and they are just basic color. They could have came in neat exotic colors or patterns. They could have changed the shape where your fingers rest. The best part was the extra erasers and led. You never have enough of that. Come on BIC get creative, add some new color and style. Make a potential buyer love these with new patterns or designs like marble, ty dye, neon colors or houndstooth.

Great pencil, fewer lead breaks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These mechanical pencils are fantastic. I've used them daily and i don't have near as many lead breaks as I've experienced with other brands. The grip on the pencil is also great and makes for a smooth writing experience. This is now my go to mechanical pencil.

The mechanical pencils are good, but I can't find the eraser and graphite refills to buy separately.

Inexpensive, Lead AND Eraser Refills plus...
on December 4, 2021
Posted by: Cynthia-June
I was happy about an adorable little case that encapsulates the pencil lead and eraser refills but ecstatic when I discovered the eraser has a cap on it too. The design and little extras that Bic provides with this mechanical pencil are just what someone like me needs.
Perfect for the people in your life who are neat freaks, highly organized, and even those who have OCD.
LOVE IT!
