[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was unlike any pencil experience that I've had. It had the weight and grip of a pen, and you weren't afraid to press down while writing. I typically reach for a pen, but find myself reaching for this pencil instead.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is is a great pencil and our son loves to use these now for when he is in school although he is off school for the summer when it is back to school shopping time we are going to keep him well stocked in the Bic Break-Resistant mechanical pencils they are super fun and useful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love the Bic break resistant mechanical pencil! Gone are the old school ones I used growing up at school that snapped lead every time you used it. I can firmly push down with these new ones and the lead holds strong.

I love these mechanical pencils. I like to draw up house floor plans. We've built several of our homes and are getting ready to start another one. I had purchased 0.5 Mechanical pencils before and I did not like them. The lead was too thin and it just kept breaking. these 0.7 are perfect. The lead is stronger and I've had no issues with the lead breaking. The only reason I gave them 4 stars is that the erasers are not the greatest. They leave a dark grey color, they don't erase clean. I have a white larger eraser that I use which erases clean. Other than that, they are sturdy and I like the way the clicker on the side brings just the right amount of lead out at a time. They come with extra lead but I haven't needed to replace that yet so I am not sure how that will go but I'm quite sure it will not be an issue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It really was cool because it was smooth and felt like a pen but was actually a pencil. My wife has a beautiful handwriting and she loved it because it wrote so smoooothly. We did not see it in the local store but when I do we will buy them. I thought it was an ink pen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I knew Bic made pencils, but didn't know about this new one - and I'm over the moon with it! I gave it to my boyfriend, who writes music. He goes through pencils like MAD, and forget mechanical pencils, they can't keep up and break constantly. This one has yet to break, is so comfortable to use, and I love the retractable eraser!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s awesome because it’s finally a mechanical pencil that doesn’t break when I press down to write—I tend to break pencils easily because I’m heavy handed! But this has proved very durable and long lasting. The design is sleek and cool too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfortable when writing and it writes smooth! The mechanics of it in general are very simple and it’s easy to reload as well. I would definitely recommend it for students who do a lot of note taking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very surprised by the durability of this product! This Bic Mechanical Pencil, with Break Free Lead is awesome! The writing is very dark, and it's so easy to write with it. I love the ease of use, along with not having to worry about the lead breaking. It has a great, durable eraser too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] very good mechanical pencil ! easy to write with and it helps with the annoying problem that these pencils have which is flimsy leads!! this lead was good and stood up to the test. very comfy in hand as well.
