    • Excellent quality — perfect pencils for my high schooler
Style: Thick Point Size: 5 Count (Pack of 1)
I picked up this pack of BIC Velocity mechanical pencils for my high schooler, and they’ve been a great addition to his school supplies. The 0.9mm lead is a big advantage — it writes smoothly and doesn’t snap constantly like thinner lead does, which makes a huge difference during class and homework. What we like: Smooth, dark writing that looks clean and consistent on paper. Thicker 0.9mm lead means fewer breaks, even when he presses harder while taking notes. Comfortable grip, which he really appreciates during longer assignments or when he’s working through math problems. Built-in eraser works well and doesn’t smear. Good variety of colors — not a big deal, but he likes being able to tell pencils apart. Great value for a pack of five, especially since pencils tend to disappear throughout the school year. Overall, these pencils are durable, reliable, and easy for him to use every day. If you have a student who goes through a lot of pencils or needs something tougher than the standard mechanical pencils, these are a great choice. Highly recommend. ... show more

    • Reliable everyday pencils that just get the job done
Style: Thick Point Size: 5 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using the BIC Velocity Original 0.9 mm mechanical pencils for a while now, mostly for note-taking, quick sketches, and general day-to-day writing. Overall, they’re solid—nothing flashy, but dependable in the ways that actually matter. The first thing that stands out is the 0.9 mm lead size. It’s thicker than the typical 0.5 mm, and that makes a noticeable difference. The lead doesn’t snap nearly as often, especially if you tend to press a bit harder when writing (which I do). That alone saves a lot of frustration. It’s also better for longer writing sessions since you’re not constantly clicking for more lead or dealing with breakage. The grip is surprisingly comfortable. It has a soft rubber feel, and it doesn’t get slippery even after extended use. I’ve used these during long stretches of writing, and my hand doesn’t feel fatigued the way it sometimes does with cheaper pencils. From what I’ve seen in other users’ feedback—and I’d agree—the pencils feel lightweight but not flimsy. They’re clearly made to be disposable, but they don’t feel like they’ll fall apart in your hand. Here’s how I’d break down the experience: What works well: The thicker 0.9 mm lead is durable and forgiving Comfortable grip for extended writing Smooth writing with consistent line quality Easy click mechanism—no jams so far Good for everyday tasks like notes, lists, and basic drafting Where it falls short: The plastic build feels a bit cheap if you’re used to premium pencils Erasers are small and wear down quickly (pretty standard, but still worth noting) Not ideal for very fine or detailed work Lead can feel a bit soft depending on pressure In terms of real-world use, these are great for practical situations—taking notes, marking documents, filling out forms, or even doing quick math work. I’ve also used them for casual sketching, though they’re not meant for precision drawing. One thing I appreciate is that they’re low-maintenance. I can toss one in a bag or leave it on a desk without worrying too much. If it gets lost, it’s not a big deal. That ties into the value for money, which is honestly one of the strongest points here. For a pack of five, you’re getting consistent performance without paying a premium. That said, if you’re looking for something more refined—metal body, ultra-fine lines, or long-lasting erasers—this isn’t that. These are more about convenience and reliability than precision or aesthetics. Overall, they do exactly what I expect from a mechanical pencil in this category. Nothing more, nothing less. And in a way, that’s what makes them worth buying. ... show more

    • Best Mechanical Pencil on the Market in My Opinion
Style: Thick Point Size: 5 Count (Pack of 1)
I think these are the best mechanical pencils on the market - I am not sure how they could be improved. I buy these multiple times a year because they are great. The colors are super bright and fun and the lead lasts a long time - and I LOVE that they give you a cute container with extra lead! Will always buy again! Good value too! ... show more

    • Good set
Style: Thick Point Size: 5 Count (Pack of 1)
This mechanical pencil set was exactly as advertised. We originally tried it for my son, but even with the 0.9 lead, it still broke a little easily since he presses very hard when writing. However, for typical use they work great. I ended up loving them for myself — they write smoothly and are a great value. Overall, a very good set. ... show more

    • These are the best cost effective mechanical lead pencils
Style: Thick Point Size: 5 Count (Pack of 1)
These BIC® Velocity® Original Mechanical Pencils, 0.9 mm are the best lead pencils I've ever found. The 0.9 size does not break when you press down like 0.5 and 0.7 I keep them around everywhere so they are handy to use when needed.

I was given the opportunity by BIC to try out these pencils for free. This review is my honest opinion. I was not paid for it. These mechanical pencils are the best I've ever tried!!! At first glance you would think these are really pens. They have a great thick barrel and I love the grip for extra support and comfort. Gone are those mechanical pencils that I remember as kid. Remember the boring colored one piece plastic ones that were so skinny. Thankfully I was given 2 packages to try. Once my daughter and her friends saw them they stole them for the start of school. My daughter loves these pencils. She says they feel like a pen but if you make a mistake it's ok because it's really pencil. The girls also love the fun bright colors the pencils come in. They were fighting over colors!!! So these pencils definitely have the 15 year old girls attention. As for functionality these perform above what I expected. They write so smooth and 1 click of the pencil goes very far. If you are worried about breaking the lead it's not easy. I really had to apply a strong amount of pressure for the tip to finally break. The eraser works great. It doesn't leave any residue behind and I find it thoroughly eraser the lead. As for grip these pencils are very comfortable to hold. They are definitely thicker than the old mechanical pencils from when I was a kid. They have a comfort grip at the bottom that is nice and soft. The only thing I didn't do was refill the pencil. I love that they give you extra lead but I didn't need to add any so I can't tell you if that is easy to do or not. They really are wonderful and I will be purchasing them in the future!! ... show more

This isn't just your run of the mill mechanical pencil. This is the top of the line, if there were such a thing, in 'clicky' pencils. At first glance, there isn't anything special - 5 colorful pencils, one extra barrel of .7mm lead, and a barrel of 5 eraser refills. Then, you open it. The first thing you notice is the grip. It's so soft, yet very supportive. The erasers also have a clear cap, which, for the kids, is kind of tough to get off. It also doesn't prevent the lead from being 'clicked' when it's on (the cap takes it dwn a star.) I write quite a bit, and so does my (left handed) 11 year old daughter. She and I both gave these pencils a test. The lead is smooth, so much more than I've ever used before. I'm not sure if it's the eraser or the lead, but when I made a mistake, there was no proof of it, unlike some other brands! According to my daughter, "the pencil is very easy to write with and when you erase things, the eraser erases all of it very well. I would like to use these. They are very squishy and comfortable to write with." After she had a turn, my 9 year old daughter gave them a try and said "can I keep this??" Haha. I think we have a winner. I received this product as a part of a promotion from the brand. I am in no way affiliated with the company in any way nor did my receiving the product as a promotion affect my opinion of the item. I am a regular Amazon customer who not only enjoys sharing my experiences with others, but also relies on the reviews of other customers to make better informed buying decisions. I hope my review has helped you make a better informed buying decision! ... show more
