General Tools 842 Precision Pencil Compass, includes pencil , Yellow, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

This particular style is the best scribe Pencil and compass on the market.

The finish on these isn't great. For example, the surface of the arms is kind of rough in spots and like everything General Tools makes, it came coated in fairly smelly grease to protect it from rust in storage/transit. But it works great – better than the Staedtler compass I bought (and returned) for about 4x the price. The adjustment is fairly smooth, the arms stay put, you can sharpen the pencil easily, swap it for an x-acto knife, etc. For the price, they are excellent. Plus I just like the style of these.

Great scribe, really does the job. I got a heavy duty Groz compass that would be great for making circles but it aint to good when you need to scribe a line to fit something together. This is lighter duty but the geometry is just right and seeing as it's not a hammer I don't know how heavy duty it needed to be. It's pot metal painted brass, they lost a star for that just because it seemed a little misleading. I would have happily given it five stars if it were painted or powdercoated some other color. I do have to also not that the little hook that holds the pencil is pretty easily lost so be careful when swapping or adjusting the pen/pencil you're using.

This compass draws rings around the competition!

Don’t spend the money on a compass and a big store. Purchase an ear for a portion of what you’d spend elsewhere. This compass is very accurate and quite easy to use.

I am disappointed with this item. It is poor quality and is difficult to use accurately. I cannot recommend it for woodworking projects.

Item as described, fast shipping, nice little compass I use in my woodworking projects, main body is made of brass and looks to be well-made.

The round spring that holds the legs apart is too weak and the legs collapse on each other when you turn the compass, making it impossible to draw an accurate circle without babying it. I was hoping for a "precision pencil compass." This isn't it.

Good quality, allows adjustment of diameter with just the one wheel, and holds it in place.

Excelente para trabalhos de carpintaria, desenhos e cartografia. Além de ser feito inteiramente em metal, suas peças permitem manutenção fácil. É um item que se utilizado da forma correta dura uma vida inteira.

Very good quality compass. Have been looking for one like this for some time. Very pleased with product highly recommend

Está bonito pero no le entran lápices o plumas convencionales, es decir que sólo sirve para el lapicito con el que viene si tu quieres usar otro, lo cual debería ser el objetivo de un compás con este diseño, no es posible.Simplemente falla en su función prinicpal, lo devolví.

Extremely well made compass, very rigid and adjusts easily even for small changes. It is very easy to use even for children. Drafting pencil fits in well and held tightly while scribing arcs. Very happy with the purchase. The shipping was very fast and the compass was in its packaging well protected in a bubble type envelope.Thank you, seller!
