Light Duty Compass

Reviewed by: lavoie4

Review Summary

If you are looking for an inexpensive compass than this is the product for you. It is lightweight and makes for quick circles and curves, but it is very flexible and accurancy is not that good because it has a tendency to move around. Based on the cost it is not a bad value but for accurate dependable work I recommend something else.

Review Summary

Good for occasional use for those who aren't concerned with fine accuracy but overall not a bad value for drawing small circles and arch's.I've had this in my shop for all of 25 years or more and it's been fine, but I have other ones for larger work that are much heavier duty than this one.
