Not for me
I liked the colors, the eraser cap and the comfort in my hand. However, I did not like the pencils themselves. I could not get the lead to not break no matter how soft I wrote or how hard I pressed. Also the eraser did not erase completely. Sorry to be brutal.

I love these mechanical pencils!
These are my favorite mechanical pencils. They work well the erasers are covered to keep them clean when I throw them in a bag. The body of the pen is sturdier than cheaper models.

Love the grip
I am finally enjoying using a mechanical pencil with my puzzle books again. The rubberized grip does the trick. The weight and size of the pencil are just right. I like the multiple colors that come in the package. I do have one issue and that is with the eraser. When I erase an entry, some of the lead stays on the eraser. Then the next time I erase, the previous lead t...

Not as shown
BIC changed their Velocity pencil in the last few years. The pencil shown on the box is the old style with a soft comfort grip. The pencils inside are the new style. The grip is different as is the writing on and feel of the clip. These are okay pencils just not as comfortable as they used to be. I purchased impulsively upon seeing the picture on the box without divin...

Great pencil, fewer lead breaks!
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.

Work great!
These pencils work work great. My favorite thing is the refillable eraser. Easy to use and refill. They write well and erase easily if needed. Comfortable grip as well. I would recommend them to anyone.

Doesn't break super easily
Often times with mechanical pencils my biggest complaint, along with my daughters, is that the lead breaks too easily with pressure. These were not like that for me or my heavy handed daughter. These will definitely be something we will be looking into a little bit more once school starts and we are buying new school supplies for my daughter.

Smooth
These pencils are great. They write very smoothly, while still being very precise. They feel great and erase cleanly. The lead pigment is nice and dark, and it doesn't smear. Overall, you can't go wrong with these mechanical pencils.

Exactly as described !
I prefer using mechanical pencils over any other writing utensil and the BIC Velocity is hands down the best I have ever used. The lead is exactly as described, very dark and noticeably smooth to use and my favorite part, it never breaks! The design of the grip is very comfortable to use and it erases very well too. Overall, this is a superior mechanical pencil and I hi...

Good pencil
I liked this pencil a lot. It was very easy to use and it writes with ease. The lead in the pencil is easy to replace. What else can I say if you need a mechanical pencil, this is a great one to have in your pencil case.

Doesn't break lead easily
These mechanical pencils are a teacher's dream come true. I am always jotting down notes, in the classroom and meetings. I love how the lead doesn't break easily. It also came with extra lead and erasers. So no hunting in the store for the right match. The grip is super comfortable, even after writing things down all day!

It looks just like a pen
This is a fun little pencil. First off, it looks and feels like a pen and it writes very smoothly. I entertained myself clicking the lead in and out just like a child. In fact, my children liberated the pencils almost as soon as I opened them. The refillable lead and eraser containers were a source of amusement for my kids as I showed them how to use them. My youngest l...

NICE Product
I strictly use pens only even at work! Haven’t used a pencil since I was in high school. ( won’t say how long that’s been) I used this product when my daughter visited one day, we were seeing who’s writing was better, and we used this product. OMG I was shocked! Totally different than when I was in High School. The Quality is soooo much better! Needless to say my daught...

Comfortable
This mechanical pencil writes smoothly and is quite comfortable. I tend to press hard when I am taking down notes and I found the lead would not break as easily as other pencils. The refill for the eraser and lead are easy to change out and it comes in a case that helps keep them together. My favorite part about using this pencil was that as I would write it didn’t m...

Good mechanical pencil. The colors are nice, and the pencil is well made. My children use these pencils for their schoolwork and they love them! The lead seems sturdier and will not break easily. Would recommend this product to anyone who likes mechanical pencils.

Great pencils
I love big pencils. I got these for my daughter who loves to write. It came with extra lead and extra erasers. My daughter absolutely loved these especially the fact that they are colorful and just her style.
