BIC Velocity Side Clic Mechanical Pencils, With Colorful Barrel, Medium Point (0.7mm), 4-Count Pack Mechanical Pencils With Eraser and Lead Refills

BIC continues to provide quality products at affordable prices. These are particularly great pencils because of the grip which makes it easier to complete assignments with ease.

They came with extra lead and erasers. Feels good in your hand and you can press down hard without the lead breaking, which is usually a problem with me. Nice bold line. The lead advancer is on the side where your fingers hold the pencil, so convenient to advance when needed. Only thing is it seems like it goes through lead pretty quickly. Would definitely buy again.

These are actually 0.5 mm BIC Velocity "Side Clic" mechanical pencils (as shown in the images), not ballpoint pens. Fortunately, that is what I was looking for. I stumbled across the 0.7 mm version of these and went looking for the 0.5 mm version because I liked the side click mechanism, but I almost didn't find them because of the title of the listing, which, as I write this, starts with "BIC Soft Feel Blue Retractable Ballpoint Pens." If you're looking for the pens, look elsewhere, but if you are looking for the pencils, you're in the right place. I ordered some and I can confirm I got mechanical pencils, not pens.

Vibrant and gorgeous colors (I love colors). It’s very smooth and the side click is also very smooth. The grip is kind of silicone feel and gives much comfort. The body is transparent and hence we can see if the lead is running out and if needs a refill. I didn’t notice that the refill tube contains lead AND eraser refills which was a great surprise. I always run out of erasers on mechanical pencils quick and had to run around to find refill that fit. So a big thank you to BIC. It’s 0.7mm and I do prefer it over .5 (too narrow) and .9 (too wide). Hope the durability is good; will come back and update my review if any issues. Overall I do recommend it.

This 4 pack came with refills for the lead and extra erasers. At first, the eraser just smeared the lead and made a mess, but it must have just needed to be used a little because now it erases fully without smearing. I haven't had issues with the lead breaking, as some other reviews have noted. Comfortable grip and smooth writing. Now that the erasers are working, these are perfect.

I was originally searching for erasers for the other BIC pencils I use at work - auditor/accountant - and when I discovered they did not sell the erasers separately I noticed these. I have not had a side click mechanical pencil in years and much prefer them so that when I erase I don't inadvertently advance the lead or let the lead fall back into the pencil - only happens occasionally. I received a package of extra lead, 5 new erasers, and 4 pencils. I like that I received 4 colors, so I have loaded the blue with blue pencil lead, the red with red pencil lead and the green with green pencil lead so I can color-code my work. I ordered these late Friday and received them on Sunday at 734 am!
