Staedtler Comfort 4 Pc Metal 6" Quick Setting Compass Set, 552 02

Very percise instrument and built with high quality and durable materials. Many useful accessories. Couldn't ask for more.

Pros: - Blue parts are plastic but the compass still feels premium and it feels really good when using. - Unlike other metal compasses, the needle does not slip when you lean the compass as far as 45° while drawing. - Universal pencil holder attachment can fit almost any pen/pencil. - Stays accurate when putting it down, handling with different hands, and used in different positions. Cons: - Small blue screw of the universal pen attachment is plastic. For some people that part is constantly threaded & unthreaded therefore saving a few pennies in aluminum specifically there is odd.

Its seems to be good quality. Only complaint is the the adapter that holds the pencil or pen you put it, the little tightener on it fell out on me once and man was it a pain to get back on.

Junk. Wobbles and flexes too much to be usable. Staedtler used to make good stuff (decades ago in architecture school), not anymore it seems. My kid couldn't even use this for basic math diagrams!

Good compass it wasn't my first choice, my first choice was a cheap compass from Mr Pen but it didn't have the feel of a professional tool, the Staedtler looks and feels like serous equipment and the included accessories are a nice touch

Staedtler is ALWAYS the high quality standard. Exactly as described and high quality tool.

We tried five compasses and kept this one. Worth the money and has a ton of flexibility. I think it’s a purchase that could last many many years.

Good and Trustworthy Green Flags: good hand feel quality handles all my needs Accurate and consistent. Wide range of uses. Reg Flags: Quick Adjustment is ok, could be better Build Tolerances is not the greatest. Beige Flags: The price you are paying a premium for the name but not an extreme premium the price is a little higher than one might want but I do not regret it. Feel and shape. Is good but not the most comfortable in my hand for long use cases. TLDR: Cost is slightly high but will last a lifetime and the quality and wide range of uses does help smoothen the purchase.

I've now purchased 3 different Steadler compasses! The first one needed to be returned due to a fault, the second one is great as you get a nice mechanical pencil with it for free, and I bought this because the compass I had was slightly too small to accommodate a project I am working on. This is just perfect - the extender bar is simple to attach, and it was great at drawing very large circles accurately. I love the lock function on it which again is really easy to use if you need to extend or reduce the diameter size. It all screws together nicely and comes with one spare needle and two spare nibs. It was great value for money, as I tried to purchase just an extender bar and they were really expensive, so it was cheaper to buy a compass set.

Perfect, as expected.

It is just amazing. The weight is perfect and the build is sturdy because of the German engineering. 100% recommended for constructions. Plus you really get to show off with this compass.

Compas acheté pour mon fils qui est en terminale STI2D pour les besoins de sa spécialité dans laquelle il va devoir tracer de grands cercles. Ce compas rempli parfaitement son rôle, mon fils est ravi.
