Comments about Staedtler® Plastic Compass With Safety Blunt Tip:

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
