ALVIN Compass Ideal Compass for Geometry Drafting and Engineering, Drawing and Architecture Tool

I had memories of my terrible cheap compasses from my childhood. Bought my kids this one, and it's like. dream. I'm drawing with it just for fun. Easy to be precise, as the little wheel helps lock in the width. A quality instrument at a very nice price.

I have not used a compass since I was in High School and I had found memories of using one in drafting class. Currently I got into wood working and needed one for doing my designs. This fit the bill perfectly and I'm well pleased with the quality and how well it works.

I generally stay away from quick release compasses except for Alvin. They are awesome. If I know I will be drawing a lot of circles for sacred geometry - this is my go to compasses. I’ve tried a dozen and this one is the most study.Note that it does draw pretty light - which can be a. Try good thing.

While this compass is not on the highest end of the scale, it works perfectly for my needs. Great price too.

This is by far the best geometric tool I have used. The material quality is superior to every other compass I have seen. Sturdy and firm. The lead provided will not break easily, plus there are an additional 2 lead pieces and needle included. The radius can easily maintain its shape. Perfect tool, very beneficial in my engineering coursework.
