[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was happily surprised, because in the past I had tried mechanical pencils and they just broke so easy. I am still using my first set up of this pencil. I was so happy I have already bought them and did not fill the need to buy the refills as well. Hope they don't put the company out of business with this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mechanical pencil from BIC is a great design. Made writing smooth and comfortable. Love that the lead doesn’t break easily with writing pressure. I would buy more of these for my high school aged son.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great mechanical pencils, they write super smooth, and are very comfortable. They are easy to use and the eraser is very good. The my son loved them and I am buying him more for school, as he thinks they are great mechanical pencils.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far one of the best mechanical pencils I have ever used. The click part is perfectly placed. It writes beautifully. I have had no issues with the lead piece breaking off even if I press a little to hard or write a little to fast. It fits perfectly in your hand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It had a quality feel to it. I could tell it was well-made. The lead didn't feel as if it were going to break any second - like a lot of them do. I prefer this product to any others I've tried. Thank you for letting me try this out!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love the BIC Break-Resistant Mechanical Pencil. It really is the best mechanical pencil I have ever used. That sounds sort of silly but I love pens and pencils and have tried so many mechanical pencils over the years that the previous sentence is absolutely true. I have reached for this pencil constantly and the lead has never broken. It has a really smooth and dark lead and is a pleasure to write with. I like the click button on the side that advances the lead. The eraser is of great quality and cleanly removes any of my written boo-boos. My desk always has a stack of notes to myself and this pencil has been a pleasure to use. I have arthritis in my hands and this pencil is easy to grip and the strength of the lead has been a real plus for me. As a side note, I really love the purple accents on my new pencil.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is a little bit heavy if you are going to be using it for a long time. I do love the design and the rubber grip. I suffer from pain in my hands, but I found I that I could use it for an hour or more before my hand lost its grip. I love that I don't have to stop to sharpen the point. I also like the feature of raising the lead with a touch of the bar on the side. I really recommend this product. Even with people with hand problems like myself.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils write so smooth! And the lead, as advertised, doesn't break. I'm actually pretty impressed with them. They have a nice easy grip, and they fit well in your hand when holding. They write really smooth and I even like to do my pencil drawings with them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The lead was definitely stronger and not break as easily in the past. I have no use for lead pencils. But I will still use mine until I run out of lead! Definitely a mechanical pencil I would recommend to anyone that uses them frequently.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mechanical pencil fits well in my hand. The lead is strong improvise a smooth writing experience. The ability to use the pencil without changing or replacing the lead refills every few sentences is a great relief.
