STAEDTLER Student Compass

This is a good compass for students and artists. I use this for drafting but would serve equally as well for art and maths. THe construction is all metal except for the blue bits which are a hard and durable plastic. They use a strong plastic screw to hold your pencil in. While it doesn't move up and down, it does move left and right a bit if you wiggle it on purpose, however it should not be a problem if you;re just drawing cricles, in that case it stays stationary for the most part. It comes with a plastic carying case that has a 5 inch ruler attached. The metal tip is not super sharp for safety reasons. I've had no problems with it. I am satisfied with this purchase.

This tool holds my pens and pencils securely to draw beautiful circles.

Ah, the STAEDTLER Geometry Compass (550 65 A6), also known as the "Circle-Making Wizard." This thing is like the Gandalf of geometry tools. When I first got it, I felt like I was about to embark on an epic quest to find the area of a triangle in the Land of Math.But seriously, this compass is no joke. It's like a precision instrument from the future. It doesn't just draw circles; it creates geometric masterpieces. And the best part? It makes you feel like a wizard. You know you've reached a new level of adulthood when you get excited about a compass.I swear, using this thing makes me feel smarter. I've even started wearing a cape and talking in a British accent while using it. "By the power of geometry, I shall draw the perfect circle!" Yeah, it's that good.So, if you want to add a touch of magic and sophistication to your math and drawing endeavors, get yourself the STAEDTLER Geometry Compass. Just be prepared for the inevitable urge to start practicing your spells and incantations while you're at it.

This works great, feels like good quality materials, and I like the ruler on the box. I thought it might be kind of pointless, then I started using it and was glad to have a ruler right there next to me. But the compass works great and I really like it! Staedtler is a great brand.

I have use Staedler products since I was in high school more than 40 years ago. I bought this for my son and found the quality is not what Staedtler products used to be anymore. But it gets the job done and they are a little bit better than other unknown brands these days.

Perfect for middle school

Cheap is the only word I can use here. It's like a toy... I thought Staedler is a good and reputable company but it looks like they are running for volume and money, no quality at all. What's the point?Never will recommend this item to anyone.

Easy to use and sturdy
