STAEDTLER Advanced Student Compass 2 Piece Set - Metal Compass with Quick-Set Center Wheel, Universal Adapter & Spare Lead, Draws Circles up to 10.25"

Everything Staedtler makes is a bit more expensive but never disappoints. After purchasing half a dozen compass at the local shops, I decided to get my kid a better one. This is his second year, and I am confident it will last a few years.

Very simple design. Great for my child who is in HS trigonometry. There’s a more complex Staedtler compass that we initially purchased and while all the adjustment knobs and angles were cool, the screws seemed to fall off easily, and ended up losing a knob making the whole thing less useful. This one only has two of those knobs to worry about and is just a much simpler yet sturdier mechanism.

Awesome, works great! Fine tunes my mechanical and drrafting skills!

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 compass was exactly what I wanted, just as described and arrived on time. Thank you.

It broke right away.Piece of garbage.

Body is plastic with 5 metal screws for adjusting. Not compatible with tasks that require measuring/precision. Cost of exceeds value in an epic way. Markings are weak and inconsistent.

The compass works well. It is easy to use, sturdy, and stays where you set it. We have tried other ones and this one is by far the best one.
