Review: Does the job! - For the money… it does what you expect, no dramas, no issues, a handy piece of kit for the toolbox for years to come I’m sure
Review: Tight fit but sturdy and does the job. - I got fed up with crappy school compasses and decided to give this a try. It’s made of brass with a steel pin. Construction looks simple but effective, though the pencil hole is very tight out of the box. Once set up though, this is excellent value.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Seriously?? I've bought these for less than 2 bucks at the local hardware store.**
A: Difference is this one has a thumb screw that locks it in place at desired size. most store bought don't lock and rely on friction to hold in place which will work on paper but not when scribing an uneven surface.

**Q: Whats the maximum diameter this can achieve?**
A: 5 in. Radius.10 in. Diameter maximum. 2 to 3 in. Radius best working.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does the job!
*by A***S on 20 January 2026*

For the money… it does what you expect, no dramas, no issues, a handy piece of kit for the toolbox for years to come I’m sure

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tight fit but sturdy and does the job.
*by R***S on 28 July 2023*

I got fed up with crappy school compasses and decided to give this a try. It’s made of brass with a steel pin. Construction looks simple but effective, though the pencil hole is very tight out of the box. Once set up though, this is excellent value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value scribing compass, but pencil fit requires adjustment
*by M***T on 3 November 2024*

I originally used a standard compass from a maths set for scribing, but after misplacing it, I tried several new ones only to find they had too much slack, causing them to slip and forcing me to start over. This scribing compass, however, is sturdy and stays firmly in place thanks to the adjustable wing nut, which locks it tightly during use. As other reviewers have noted, fitting a pencil can be tricky—even with the wing nut completely removed. A round pencil doesn’t grip securely, and a hexagonal pencil doesn’t fit at all. That said, since this tool is intended for woodworkers, trimming down a pencil to fit is a quick and easy fix for most users. I’ve rated it four stars because, while the issue is easily manageable, it would be nice if the compass accommodated standard pencils without modification. Compared to branded scribing tools that can cost £30 or more, this compass offers excellent functionality at a fraction of the price. It meets all my needs as a reliable and affordable scribing tool for carpentry work.
