BIC® Velocity® Original Mechanical Pencils, 0.9 mm, Assorted Barrel Colors, Pack of 5

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.

Great pencils to use. 0.9 mm lead is strong like a number two pencil and the way to advance the lead works fine with a comfortable hold to it

A great pencil for someone looking to lay down a smooth strong line. The 0.9mm thick point is strong and easy to manipulate. The thick barrel is sturdy and has a nice finger grip. This is a keeper!

Love these pencils they write so smooth and are great gripping

Bought these bc vision is not as good as it used to be for crosswords. Strong black lead

These mechanical pencils are wonderful and helps holding it in my fingers and a great lead size.

Like pencils but not table to find lead and eraser refill

I love these mechanical pencils! I do a lot of word puzzles, and these are a lot easier than trying to keep a regular pencil sharpened. Bright pretty colors, and you get extra lead and erasers. They hold up well and I rarely have one tear up.
