The compass was certainly affordable, but the overall quality of construction was not!

I want to use it for my portrait measuring scaling.It will serve me well.The only thing is that the box only had a scotch tape and all the pieces were loose when I received it.It will be cool if you add Duct tape to secure the cover.Other than That, it is great for what I needed it.

Quality manufacturing, easy to read scale in English and metric, and the graduated wheel that moves in a notched track in very small, precise increments was an unexpected bonus.

It totally saved the day for the project I am working on.

I gave this as a gift to my girlfriend. She designed a 3 ft. mandala painting with this tool - the first time she was able to draw circles precisely - in replacement of the method of using a pin an the center and a rope with an attached pencil. If any precision is required in design or carpentry for example, this tool will do the job. The graduation makes any measuring quick and easy.
