[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked the unique color choices & combinations. The lead is 0.9, which is really sturdy & does not break easily. You can store quite a few pieces of lead inside, too. The outer material is not flimsy, like some mechanical pencils. I like the erasers that are on these as well. Erases easily & a good amount on each pencil. Some don't have much of an eraser at all. Overall, this is one of my favorite, mechanical pencils. They aren't super fancy, to heavy or to light. They are your basic (but colorful & fun) & standard MP but reliable, very durable, & gets the job done in every aspect (writing, erasing, weight/size, strong quality.) My family likes using them for school & work as well. I highly recommend the BIC Xtra Strong mechanical pencil.

[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 really are tuff, I always break a plastic pencil but i havent had that problem, i like all the colors that come in the package, easy to find refills and overall great writing utensil, i believe we could get more items for the amount we pay for it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the convenience of mechanical pencils. Whenever my boys are doing their homework, they manage to break all the tips off regular pencils. These ones are stronger so they don't break as easily, but if they do break, you just pop up some new lead!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have bought more mechanical pencils than I can count because that's all my oldest son will use. He can be very rough on his pencils so I was pleasantly surprised when this new pack of mechanical pencils from Bic actually lasted him way longer than expected! The colors are bright and fun and the pencils are comfortable to hold, and very easy to use and refill with lead when needed. I like that the package has 10 pencils in it so there are plenty of backup pencils. I will never waste money again on any other kind of mechanical pencils. And that's exactly what you will be doing buying a different brand because these pencils are that good that you won't have to go out and buy more for a while. If you have students that are in middle School and high school, then you definitely need to have the Bic Xtra Strong Mechanical Pencils on hand!

[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!

i purchased this pack of pencils yesterday and i like writting bold and thick so i decided to get 0.9. well my first attempt of using it; i push the lead out, put it down on my paper, it goes back in [all 24 did the same] -_____________- I'm very disappointed with this pencil & do NOT recommend it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a Math teacher, I have strong opinions about pencils and erasers. This mechanical pencil delivers!! It writes dark, but is easily erasable. The lead is strong and doesn’t easily break. The only down side is that the average mechanical pencil uses .7 lead whereas this pencil uses .9 lead. Be mindful when purchasing replacement lead. That is the only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5. Best mechanical pencil I’ve ever used!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased these mechanical pencils for my kids.I purchased BIC because I love everything BIC makes, and they are a good value. Value is important because the kids go through a lot of them during the school year. These Mechanical pencils come with a very good eraser. The lead is like writing with a number #2 pencil and the eraser doesn't smudge nor destroy your paper. The kids find them comfortable. The mechanical pencil comes with 3 lead segments per pencil . The lead is strong and doesn’t break easy. I highly recommend these mechanical pencils because they come in pretty colors and they write really well. Great product!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this pack of BIC-Xtra Strong MP. Writing with these pencils is great because they write smoothly and the leads don't break easily. They really come in handy when I have to write up a draft instead of using ink.
