Review: The one to buy. - Very good quality and value for money. I read all the reviews of this set and other sets and this one stood out for quality and it has not disappointed. So happy I chose it. Has been greatly useful in my artwork with mandalas. Recommended.
Review: Nice design. - Even though there is a lot of plastic, this is a nicely designed compass. The central adjustment wheel is easy to operate and keep a constant setting. Both legs are jointed allowing the points to remain parallel to the drawing surfaces . I particularly like the pencil holder attachment which has a rounded shape rather than just a screw, this holds the pencil much more securely.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be usable in a machine shop setting for doing things such as scribing metal?**
A: no, get an old starrett or general with the wing. they are solid steel construction. these drafting ones have plastic joints and adjustments.. not suitable for metal work.

**Q: Is this compass "spring loaded"?**
A: no. as far as i can tell there are no springs involved with this tool. the arms are adjustable with quick release levers for broad and quick adjustment as well as a small wheel for more fine and precise measurements. the arms are very sturdy and firm in both locked and unlocked positions. this is the best compass i could find, i love it, worth every penny. i probably will never need to buy another compass unless i start working very large or very small. having a tool arm that accepts any stylus (marker, pen, brush etc.) is what wins it for me, and also the sturdy and stylish construction. good luck.

**Q: Does this poke a hole into the paper? The ends look very sharp like a needle.**
A: Yes, it will create a tiny hole in the paper.  When that's a problem I use a little square of thin plastic there in the center; that is, I put this one-inch-square guard down, which already has a detent in it, I draw my circle and remove, and keep, the protector.

**Q: where is this product made?**
A: Germany
