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 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!

Great for the price

I use a compass a lot in my wood shop and wore the last one out. This one works great. It has a positive threaded radius control and comes with plenty of extra lead and spare parts. A good purchase!

This is a very sturdy compass, and it has extra little wheels, but it doesn’t have any extra screws for the wheels. So if you lose that screw, then it doesn’t work well at all. If they’re going to give you extra wheels, they need to give you the extra screw part.

My daughter needed it ASAP. Order came through fast and as described. Thank you so much.
