[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Bic Xtra-Strong mechanical pencils for the first time and am very impressed. I an a bookkeeper and always use mechanical pencils. These by far are the best I’ve tried. The break resistant lead is very strong. I actually used up the lead before it broke. I also like the way the lead erases. It doesn’t smudge and erases easily. I will definitely be buy the Bic mechanical pencils again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how strong the lead is in the pencils. The pencils are very durable and aere just easy tp thrpow in your bag and go. The lead is different by others because it is thicker. Great for school work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these xtra strong pencils from BIC. I am one of those people that are prone to use too much force while writing and the leads on usual mechanical pencils keep breaking on me. These leads are amazing! I haven't had a single one break on me so far. I like using pencils to write because I write more clearly and it is easier to erase your errors than white them out. I would highly recommend these xtra strong mechanical pencils to anyone who likes writing, especially if you have problems with normal leads breaking on you!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These mechanical pencils definitely live up to the name! My son is very rough with his writing utensils & he's very pleased that they don't break easily. He could definitely tell a huge difference in lead strength from his original mechanical pencil to this extra strong one. We will definitely be purchasing these for school supplies from now on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These mechanical pencils are great and come in a wide variety of bright colors. The lead in thethesthethese are suoer strong unlike other brands. Perfect for back to school book bags. My son loves mechanical pencils as a pencil sharpener isnt always available. Mechanical pencils are always convenient snd easy to use. Eraser included as well. BIC always puts out great products for school.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this brand it's the brand you can trust especially if you have kids in school they are sturdy and last and they are refillable that's always a plus when buying school supplies for my kids in the past I've bought cheaper ones just to go back to Bic because they hold up alot longer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As many teenagers my daughter loves to write notes to friends. I received theses and let her go at it. She said they’re smooth and makes her hand writing pretty. She won’t put them down she loves them! Great for projects too. I enjoy them myself. Very picky about what I use to write with and these hold up to my standards.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They aren't kidding when they say extra strong. It took a lot of effort to break the lead. I tried. If you keep it short, it's not likely to happen at all. Even when it's long, it's hard. Outside of that, it writes smoothly. No squeaking! The eraser is good too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been very pleased with these Bic Xtra Strong Mechanical Pencils. With two teens in the house, we go through a LOT of mechanical pencils during the school year. These definitely stand up to frequent use better than standard mechanical pencils. Definitely recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm always hesitant to buy mechanical pencils because the leads break so easily. This pencil is much different. The lead is strong, really strong! I actually tried to push and break it and I couldn't break it! These will be great for school, especially those tests where you have to fill in a little circle. They have a #2 lead so they're the same as a wooden pencil for tests. The only improvement I'd make would be to add a cushioned grip to it. Then it would be perfect!
