ALVINBasic-Bow Combination Compass with Ruler Pen 6" Model 505 Ideal for Geometry, Drafting, and Engineering, Drawing and Architecture Tool, Metal - 6 Inches

The quality of this product is wonderful, for what the price is... you just need to get the hang of using it, cause it is awkward at first... had to make circles for my design class and I got tired of it, so I free handed them... and she couldn't tell the difference... however, it does what it needs to and more... the extra tip where you apply more medium... is a wonderful thing... I like it just for that cause it creates a crisp clean line I never could.

Everything arrived on time and worked perfectly. I had this one for a couple days and everything worked as good as the products that I already have and exceeded the expectations i had for this set. I like this one very much and it works great.

this is a nice compass, works well and keeps the setting. only bad thing is the screws for the interchangeable leg come out easily and can get lost. would be better if the screw would only loosen but not be removable. otherwise it works well for my needs

Perfect tool for my current needs. ( iconography).

First let me start by saying the seller was awesome and I got my compass set quickly and without any issues. Sadly, this compass set was a disappointment, especially when compared to an older 1980's Alvin compass. The smaller compass handle broke off the first time I used it and the larger compass legs won't stay locked and bow/flex at the worst possible times.

Excellent.mainly used for pen and ink work.been using alvin sets since 1969,did not dissapoiny.A lot of reviews are old,since have changed packaging,arrived in new and whole condition. My first with "speed"mechanism.time will tell.

I use this for small woodworking projects and plans, it is compact and seems like very nice quality.

This item is a disgrace. The item arrived and it was falling out of the packaging, looked like it had been used, and was generally a mess. No way could I reassemble the items in the case and give it as a Christmas gift as I intended. It is going back.
