Just as described

Thank you for the quality system. It was fairly easy to install and replaced my "ancient" bar perfectly.

Meets The Need Easily

The only problem I had was the fact that the screw which anchors to the knob which holds the wire in place was missing. Difficult to find a replacement. I finally did. Love the bar.

Just okay, not worth the cost.

I had high expectations for this parallel bar, but sadly it’s doesn’t meet them. The bar gets the job done, but I definitely have to struggle with it. My biggest issue is that when you press down on the bar to draw your line only the middle of the bar gets close enough to the paper to draw a precise line. As you move away from the center the bar remains up in the air so much that I can’t hold my triangle to the edge without it sliding down behind the bar. At the end of the day I can make it work, but I was expecting much more quality for the price.
