The product felt a little flimsy. The piece that moves back and forth is weak and will easily move while using the compass. I can see it getting worse over time. But for the money, it has great value.

Works ok. Simple to use. I would purchase it again

I was hesitant to buy due to the reviews but I figured I would give it a try especially since it's inexpensive. Compass broke within a day or two. The re dslider doesn't lock into place so measurements were wiggly and off. My teen son couldn't draw a perfect circle, they always came out wiggly. My son's school has ones that were more sturdy and locked to make precise angles, circles etc. Even his teacher admitted they didn't make them like that anymore. Thankfully Amazon is amazing and I just returned it.

I'm giving this five stars because it is exactly as the manufacturer described and it works very well. Somehow I thought it would extend out and make HUGE circles - but it doesn't. I went back to the description and it didn't say anything like I thought - so this compass is exactly what it should be. Maximum size circle is about 4", entire length of compass is about 6". It does make circles with no holes in the paper, and it is easy to use. Plastic, no sharp edges - safe for children.

I was in need of a tool that draws circles but doesn't leave holes in my paper, like a regular compass. The idea behind this product is great, move the slider to set your radius and away you go. The execution, however, was not very good.Like others have said, unless the slider can be clamped down to stay still, your circles will come out uneven despite your best attempts. Even if you only want this product for quick circles that look 'good enough', the rotating piece at one end where the picture shows someone holding it down with their finger isn't great either. It's very hard to spin this piece and as a result you have to use force to complete a revolution, which practically guarantees that the slider will move while in use. This can be remedied by the use of another pencil to 'pin' the compass down while the other pencil marks the circle, but since the hole in the rotating bit is larger than the end of a pencil it still comes out wobbly.I will say, though, that I like the mini-protractor on it. If I weren't so bad at drawing circles this would be a 5-star product.

Very useful. I like that it doesn’t make a hole in your paper.

I bought this to add in battle map making for tabletop reoleplay. Very happy so far and if it does eventually break, replacement is very affordable.
