satisfied teacher
I am a math teacher so I use pencils A LOT. I generally write pretty firm on the page and often have an issue with breakage, but with this particular pencil, I am not having that problem. The lead is write smooth and doesn't seem to smear. I definitely recommend.

Work perfectly
I love these pencils. They write smoothly, don't smudge, and the lead is the perfect thickness. I also love that the lead doesn't constantly break like some mechanical pencils. The fact that these are made from recycled plastic is the icing on the cake.

Eco Friendly!
These Bic Ecolutions mechanical pencils write well and is a great pencil for a great price. The ecolution comes from BIC using 65% recycled plastic in the pencils. I love the fact that they are environment friendly and will continue to buy them because of this feature!

Dark crisp lines
I use mechanical pencils exclusively for art and I am always looking for a better pencil. I was rather surprised to find that this set has much darker and crisper lines than I am used to.
First off I love that the set is made with recycled materials. We need more green products at affordable prices on the world and this really fits with that. The pencils are made fr...

Attractive, Sturdy Pencils
My kids like using mechanical pencils for school. These held up well and I liked that they are good for the environment. The only thing I would say is that the pocket clip is a rather cheap attachment which always seems likely to break but then generally does seem to last the distance. It is at best, acceptable, as a pocket clip.

Great pencil
I got the Bic extra life pencil as I knew I could trust the Bic brand. They didn't disapoint me. I prefer to use mechanical pencils and the lead was very dark. I my son also likes the different colors of the pencils as it makes it easy to find when you lay it down.

great value
I normally don't use mechanical pencils because I'm one of those "hard writers", I put alot of pressure on my writing utensils and the lead in these pencils usually break with every other letter. My kids on the other hand, only like to use mechanical pencils, so I grabbed these. The colors and the eco-friendly packaging attracted my attention. The kids loved it and t...

Works well!
I do quite a bit of hand drafting for my job. I decided to try the Bic Ecolutions Xtra Life mechanical pencils. They work very well! The mechanism works smoothly. They come preloaded with lead and the eraser works well and does not leave smudges. I would recommend these pencils!

Great product
These pencils are great. The colors going great together and are a nice change from black with coloring or bright colors. The eraser end of these take away marks with ease and leave little to no lines left on the paper. So far the lead in the pencils has lasted through several classes and still going strong without having to refill. These might just possibly be my favor...

Every school child needs these
As a homeschooling family even before the pandemic, we go through A LOT of pencils. Hundreds, if not thousands of pencils have been used, lost, broken, in our house since we began this adventure. And let me tell you, if your pencil sharpener sucks, forget it! These mechanical pencils are a great solution. They have sturdy leads, bright colors, and great erasures that ...

Love them
I got these for my youngest son that is in middle school. He's a mess with regular pencils. The mechanical ones do not distract him and he does not chew on them as he does traditional ones. He takes art class, so we use a lot of pencils for his base drawings.

I love these Mechanical pencils
These mechanical pencils are awesome. They last longer then others. They write great. I love that Bic made a mechanical pencil that is 65% recyclable plastic. Even the packaging that they come in is made of recycled content. I respect Bic so much for this.

Love These!!
They are great pencils and got my kids through class quiet well. I like that they are eco-friendly and reusable. I haven't had issues with refiling lead but use the erasers down to the point that I can still take them out to refill the lead then I just use a standard eraser -similar to the ones we use to buy in grade school. Really good product for everyone.

Good pencils.
These pencils are good and feels good in my hand. It is the right size to fit in your hand for a person with small hands. You have to press hard for the lead to break. The eraser is not too great. When I erase something, the lead I erase, stays on the eraser and it tends to smear when you erase. I would say it is a good pencil, but make sure you have a different era...

Great Pencil
Great product from BIC. These feel and work similar to the original BIC mechanical pencil. The only change that I can see is that the pencil itself is made from recycled materials. Otherwise, exactly the same pencil. The recycled part looks, feels and works just like a traditional mechanical pencil.

Very Nice Mechanical Pencils
Bic Mechanical Pencils are the best pencils. They last a long time, better to write with, easy to hold, and very colorful. My kids can keep doing their homework if the lead breaks or if they need more lead. They dont have to worry about getting up to sharpen their pencils and waste time getting their schoolwork done. I like using them too. My handwriting looks so much b...

No smudges!
These are great quality mechanical pencils- the grip is comfortable, they write smoothly and the lead does not smudge. I like the multi color pack- helps with easy coordination. Overall, I am happy with their performance and do recommend these pencils.
