Review: Great basic compass - I needed a basic compass that would lock and draw well-formed circles. After purchasing a couple that didn't lock and thus were useless, I ordered this, and it was just what I needed. Great circles of different sizes. I also liked that I could substitute a thin marker for the pencil. I've used it several times and it didn't break. For the money, a great basic compass.
Review: Nifty - My son needed another compass for highschool. I got him a more expensive brand last year and it broke. After spending over an hour online, reading a bunch of mixed reviews on many different brands. I decided on the cheaper option for this year. However, I was hesitant at first to order this brand. Again, just because of some of the reviews. But I'm glad we went ahead with it. My son and I tried it out. It works well. Especially for the inexpensive price we paid. It arrived quick, whole and not broken. Definitely no complaints here.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this hold different size pencils or markers?**
A: The holder works with any standard sized pencil or pen, but will not work with Jumbo or other oversized writing instruments

**Q: Will this punch holes in the paper?**
A: No, it doesn't 'punch' holes, but it will made a very small divot.  The point is very sharp and if on a solid backing it only leaves a tiny divot that can be seen if looked for.  Sometimes it's important so that the center can be found for other measurements & drawing.

**Q: How do I fix the knob?**
A: Both the integrated Leg Twist-Lock and the Universal Holder screw are easily adjusted by simply tightening and un-tightening them as needed.

**Q: Where is it manufactured?**
A: china
