Faber-Castell Stream Quick-Set Compass - Black Stone, 174530

Worked fantastically

This is BY FAR the best compass I have ever found. It’s heavyweight so you don’t have the slippage you do with others. I have bought 3 total (myself and both of my sons) for blueprint drawing.

Faber-Castell has been around forever and is known for quality workmanship. This compass is made to their standards. Love it!

The metal arms are nice, but the screw locking mechanism as well as the nuts and holders for the lead and needle are plastic so I was never able to get them fully tightened out of fear I was going to break something. These longevity concerns lead to me ultimately returning.

I am sure this product would have met my expectations, as i have used this brand before. However, two times in a row i ordered this same product , waited 8 days for delivery, only to have the carrier say it was delivered, but never made it here. amazon took care of the refund as it was purchased through amazon. I never had the chance to try out this wonderfully german crated tool on the project i was designing.

The plastic wheels that tighten the lead in the pivot pin break. Lasted about a month the company needs to put metal wheels.

Wow, just the way this thing looks in the pkg…sexxxxy! Heavy, well made, and easy to use!

Robuste et beau design noir mat. Mon ado adore.

I tried several other compasses before this one and they were all problematic. This is a precise instrument of high quality, made in Germany.

Perfect as expected.

Cumplió con las espectativas

Absolute quality. This is a very well built compass.
