Not had this sort of mechanism before and now I’ve tried it not impressed. Fiddly. Also metal looks and feels cheap.

I like it that it's simple with no bells and whistles like some others. It's sturdy, 100% made of metal but not heavy. It can operate in high precision even for professional use and it's ergonomic (i.e. the top tip is easy to twist around).

Several months ago I bought the one about $6 (the one at right of the picture) which is difficult to be used drawing a circle. I got this one about $9 yesterday. It looks and works wonderfully!😄

The reviews I saw for this compass were mostly good, and I agree. It is solidly built and easy to use. I very much like the 4" size because it does everything I need and is comfortable to handle.This is the first compass that I used that uses an inbuilt 2mm lead, and it works well, but I think I prefer a mechanical pencil. The only real criticism I have is with the knobs that tighten down the pointer and the lead. They are small and difficult to handle, they don't always hold the pointer and lead securely. Two extra knobs were included with the set.Mr. Pen includes a notice with the kit that tells you if you EVER have an issue with the compass to contact them and they replace it or refund your order, no questions asked. That's a great lifetime warranty!

This is not a professional quality tool and is limited on the min/max width. It's an economical tool that does what it's supposed to do. It doesn't lock, strictly speaking, but the adjustment wheel is firm enough. It comes with 10-15 replacement leads. Comically, two of the three little vials containing lead were empty and their contents were rolling around in the little bag. One of them still had the cap on it, so I have to think the person packing it was all out of effs to give that day and just dumped the required number of parts in the bag instead of trying to fix it.Two steel tip replacements, two little tightening wheel replacements and strangely no little screw replacements. A mustache sticker and a hand-written thank you note. It's stable enough for what I need to use it for. Doesn't have as much flex as some folks have reported. But if you're looking for a tool with tight tolerances and high production value for architecture or engineering use, go spend $100 - 200+ on a different product.

This is a VERY lightweight "tool", ok for a desktop but far too flimsy for using in any shop capacity. It looked sturdier that it is. That said, for a simple desktop drawing tool it would suffice. It's certainly better than the old school compasses we used to use.

The Mr. Pen Professional Compass for Geometry offers great value at around $9. It features a sturdy metal construction that remains stable during use, with tight screws ensuring reliability. The compass marks materials like leather cleanly, thanks to a sharp lead point, and there's plenty of lead included for extended use.I have only used the compass for a bit of leather marking, but will update if issues come up.One minor downside is the mustache logo, which may not appeal to everyone. However, considering its performance and durability, there’s little to complain about. Overall, this compass is an excellent choice for students and professionals alike, providing an effective tool at an affordable price.Highly recommended.

This is a good quality compass for high school geometry. It is made of sturdy metal. The point and pencil can be easily replaced if/when necessary. The best part: the circle doesn't get bigger as I draw...it stays in the same setting! It works so much better than the compass I remember having to draw with!

I do like how stiff and firm the settings are, so it doesn't slip and make a wider circle than you intended. BUT I was very disappointed with the tiny little pencil leads that come with the kit (it doesn't accommodate your own pens or pencils). They kept slipping down so that the pencil was much lower than the point of the compass, so I'd have to hold the compass at a diagonal while drawing circles b/c the lead slipped down too much to keep the compass even. This resulted in it slipping as I was drawing, which I did not expect, given how tight the metal part of the compass is. Would've been a much better design if it held a small pencil rather than just these tiny pieces of lead, which don't stay still.
