Xtra-Smooth Mechanical Pencils with Erasers, Medium Point (0.7mm), 12-Count Pack, Bulk Mechanical Pencils for School or Office Supplies

Good quality pencils. The grip is very comfortable, the leads hold up great and do not great easily, they do not smear. Great value.

I have been using BIC’s 0.9mm Velocity mechanical pencil for several years, both for work and at home, and have found them to be reliable and durable. The pencil feels good in my hand, and is comfortable to write with. Clearly a consumer grade product, the prices I have paid have been quite reasonable. The older version of the Velocity I have been using has since been replaced with this newer model, which features a clear plastic housing, and a stiffer plastic clip. Cosmetically, the new Velocity may be more attractive looking, but the feel is about the same, and it still operates and writes very reliably. A nice plus is that the eraser has been improved. It appears to be made of a different material which does a better job of erasing. Three leads are typically provided with each pencil, but the tube inside can easily hold twice that number. If you plan on doing a good deal of writing, getting some spare leads would be recommended. The Velocity is available in various colors when purchased in a set of four , but unfortunately for the box of 12 pencils, the choice of color remains limited to just blue. A very solid value buy, I highly recommend the Velocity mechanical pencils. I prefer the 0.9mm size, but this pencil is also available in 0.5mm and 0.7mm. Build quality is good, and should be sufficient for most casual users. And the cost is low enough so you won’t have to be too concerned, if you or your child happens to lose one.

Two things other customers should know. i. These are wonderful pencils. Have been using them for several years and I love them. Also.....Amazon is the best place to buy them!

These BIC Velocity mechanical pencils are my absolute favorite for everyday writing. The 0.9mm lead is thick and strong—no snapping, even with firm pressure—which makes them perfect for note-taking, sketching, or filling out forms. The colorful barrels are fun and easy to spot in a pencil case or drawer. They write smoothly, the grip is super comfortable, and the erasers actually work well without smudging. With 12 in the pack, it’s an unbeatable value for the quality you get. Whether for school, work, or home, these pencils are reliable and long-lasting. Highly recommend!

Good product fast shipping

My high-school age son loves these pencils. They seem to work reliably and they are affordable enough that I don’t mind when he loses them or “lends” them to his friends.

Seriously - the only pencil I use. I have been a teacher for 26 years and have used many brands and these are the best!

Pencils are awesome.

Love these pencils! I usually get .7mm lead pencils and we go through so many refills due to snapped leads. I also have 1.3mm pencils which are good but are too think for doing math. The .9mms are just right! I still have some BIC Velocity .7s from last year, so I know the design holds up over time.

I love these pencils they truly are smooth and good quality pencils. highly recommend this!!

Extremely overpriced. Made in China (although BIC is a French company), almost completely of plastic. The plastic cap on the eraser is flimsy and does not last long. The same is true of the rubber grip which will become tacky over time and disintegrate. Not made of durable material and hence hugely expensive.
