Enjoy a smooth, comfortable writing experience and plenty of erasing power with BIC Velocity Max Mechanical Pencils. Filled with strong lead that creates striking, noticeable lines, these mechanical pencils offer the smoothest, darkest writing when compared with other BIC mechanical pencils. No sharpening is required: simply click the pencil to extend the lead. Each pencil can hold up to 12 leads and features a large eraser--75 percent wider vs. BIC Velocity Original Mechanical Pencil--that tidily removes lead and gives you more erasing power. And thanks to the round barrels and soft gel grips that mold to your hand, these pencils are ideal for prolonged writing tasks--from note-taking to standardized tests. The pencil comes with a refill tube with 12 leads and five erasers. Velocity Max Mechanical Pencils are available in 0.7mm and 0.9mm lead sizes.
