[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a pencil these worked really well. The lead advances easily and the writing is smooth. The break resistance did not stand up to my son who I let borrow one and received back workout the clip. He is notorious for snapping those off and I would have given 5 stars if he hadn't succeeded

Why? Every other pencil you just pop out the eraser and add the lead. Not these. You can take the eraser out, sure, that parts easy. There is no hole in which to put the lead. I was so excited about these, but now they are just trash to be thrown out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a bit of a pencil snob. However, when I was offered a free sample of BIC Break-Resistant mechanical pencils, I jumped at the chance. Good golly is this the pencil for me! It writes so smoothly, grips well, and is much stronger than my normal mechanical pencil.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was impressed with how easily the grip fit in my hand. I had absolutely no lead breakage and I did press down a bit harder than normal to test it out of curiosity. As soon as I use up what I already have, this is what I will buy next.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish I would've received two pencils because my junior high children were fighting over who was going to take this cool new pencil. It was awesome. My daughter writes very hard so I let her try it and she said it didn't break once! The eraser did a good job too. We are going to town and pick up a bigger package of them before school starts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I write hard and usually break mechanical pencils, but these have held strong! The colors are nice and the weight feels right. They wrote smoothly and have a large eraser that can be twisted up as needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the comfort and feel of the BIC Break-Resistant Mechanical Pencil in addition to it being a very practical and functional option. It is also very stylish, and I really enjoy using it. The eraser works very well too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It worked very well for a mechanical pencil, I was impressed that the lead doesn't break as easily as a normal pencil. I would buy it if the price point was just a little lower - if you could make it closer to a regular mechanical pencil price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] #SAMPLESOURCE sent me a #BICBREAK-RESISTANTMECHANICALPENCIL and I just love it. It glides smoothly and is very easy to use. You can find this anywhere and it is not pricey either. This works for a variety of projects home or professional.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bic Break Resistant Mechanical Pencil is AWESOME! I love mechanical pencils but it is so hard to find one that keeps working. This one is great and the lead is darker so what I write is always legible. I can even write really small and see it clearly. The eraser works great! I even really like the shape and the grip. It is comfortable to hold. I have been using it alot and see it is holding up fine despite a few drops (ugh) and inevitable wear and tear. I am always looking for a dependable pencil and this one is the best!
