Brought this compass because the plastic ones do not stay. They drift to far from your design. I would buy this compass again.

It’s a great tool that my husband needed for making wooden bowls. The store manager went above and beyond to get extra pencils for this device.

Meh.... It works well
Sturdy resin body. The threaded gaping device has a coarse thread that opens quickly. What I bought this for was its ability to use toothpicks as points instead of the metal and graphite points; toothpicks don't damage or scar delicate surfaces, such as a computer screen.

Quality has declined
I bought a Staedtler compass of high quality about 35 years ago. It served me well over the years, but I managed to misplace it. Their current model is not up to their former standards. The pencil lead could not be adequately secured. I'm headed to town today. I think I'll just return it.
In the meantime, it is handy for picking up hors d'oeuvres.

Staedtler Student 550 Compass
The plastic theads on the adjusting screw don't hold the setting. Impossible to draw a circle. It's a piece of garage that looks pretty in the package

Slight play in the threadworms
There is a slight movement where the wheel threads go through the arms. For detail work this introduces error.
