I needed a tool to draw accurate circles on pieces of wood intended to be made into a bowl. This tool (compass) allow me to draw the largest circle possible for the wood I'm using to make the bowl. Previously I had been using drinking glasses, lids from jars, and anything else I could find that was circular and approximately the size I needed. Now, with the compass from Staples, I can draw circles that are exactly the size I need. This helps me to eliminate wasted wood. It also saves me money because the wood is expensive. This compass, while simple, is exactly what I needed. It works as intended and perfectly fits this rather unique need to support my woodworking hobby.

A very good compass

I wish it came with a metal point that you could install for the lead, so that it could be used as a divider.

      Comments about Staedtler® Geo Student Compass:

      We used this to help with craft projects at home. It worked great and fulfilled our needs. I had a compass that used a golf pencil orginally. When the golf pencil was all used up, the compass wouldn't hold a regular pencil. So we went seeking a new one and this one was perfect.

      Comments about Staedtler® Geo Student Compass:

      I bought this for my son to use in school. He has only had it for a month or two, and two pieces are already falling off. The lead falls out, so it doesn't really work well.

          • Q:

            Is this a metal compass? My teacher recommends buying a metal compass because they don't break as much as others. Do these compasses break a lot?

          • Q:

            I am a teacher and buy 50 or more of these compasses a year....can you buy replacement screws/pins (the ones that hold the leads/points in)for these? They seem to get lost easily in normal use by students.

              Lead size is 2 mm, HB. We unfortunately do not carry this size lead at this time

          • Q:

            Do you sell refills for this? I have never seen 2mm leads in your stores. I want a class set for my school but will only purchase them if refills are available beyound the 2 or 3 that come with the compass.
