Reviews around work (5.00 of 5)

  • All others found were junk made of plastic, this one is the real deal for doing accurate work.
  • Flimsy, is good for occasional use but not good for precise work
  • In all, if you have a steady hand this works well enough and better than your average compass.

Reviews around size (5.00 of 5)

  • It's a decently sturdy compass, will work with any reasonably sized graphite pencil (and possibly mechanical versions as well), and it makes very circular circles.
  • It works well enough to do what I need it to and it has a good size option.

Reviews around circle (3.86 of 5)

  • I made a nice 6" circle with it for a couple cornhole boards and it worked.
  • It can draw an accurate circle provided you set it up properly and accurately
  • Was easy to use, intuitive w/o reading directions, and it made perfect circles as I needed
  • The screw and tension system hold the compass at a constant size for the most part, but the arms have too much 'wiggle' room and can give you messy circles if you put too much pressure on them when drawing

Reviews around tool (3.61 of 5)

  • Pencil holder is sloppy, and the overall tool is not very solid.
  • It binds the pencil tightly, without using a pin, like some other tools do
  • You have to hold the tool at the top and twist in a circle
  • It's the cheapest tool, it doesn't work properly, don't buy it
  • It is a good tool for scribing in woodworking applications.
  • Read remaining 8 reviews for tool
