Excellent sturdy compasses

For many years I settled for cheap cheap compasses that were difficult to handle and prone to breakage and inaccuracy. This ALLY Tools 8 inch precision compass is a super tool. It keeps its dimensions tight around the entire circle, easy to place with a pencil or marker, and has a solid construction. I wish I had bought one a year ago. It would make my DIY projects much easier and faster. Great tool.

Pros
  • Inspect, measure and test
Cons
  • Some errors

Good quality great price

I bought this to replace a pair of compasses I bought at an art supply store which had a plastic screw for attaching a pencil. It was more expensive than this and was very inaccurate due to the plastic screws. There is no plastic in this compass and I am very happy with the quality. Strong, easy to tighten screws. Opens to approximately 22 cm or 8.66 inches. Very strong metal screws ensure high precision. I highly recommend this product. See photo.

Pros
  • Measurement
Cons
  • Discontinued

This is normal for a cheap instrument.

This compass is good for what it is, but there are a few drawbacks that spoil the impression of a good product. First, they claim it has an adjustment nut for quick adjustment, but that's not the case. It had wing nut adjustment, but it doesn't slip on the threads if you take the pressure off and try to cant the nut. I would expect the customization to get sloppy over time. Finally, the pen mounting screw is flimsy and the spigot in the pen holder is very loose, again making me wonder how long…

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • Slightly dented
