I use this product for my college geometry class. I liked this product because it was not only colorful but its functionality was also great. At first when i bought it it used to open when i tried to spin it, but then i just tightend it with a screw driver. The only problem now is the medal tip tends to slip off the paper but its managable

This item is not worth buying, many teachers have shown the measurments are off with this compass. It is easily broken, a list of items not to buy is being given to students for next year and this is one of them.

Purchased for my third grader. Unable to lock the position/diameter, therefore, the circle becomes a spiral.

Comments about Staedtler® Plastic Compass With Safety Blunt Tip:

I bought this for my 6 year old to learn how to use. I was never able to show her how it would draw a circle because the center leg would not stay put. You would need about 3 hands to use this one.
