I was interested in this product because I wanted to draw circles without leaving a hole in the middle like it a conventional compass would do. The concept of this compass is good, but unfortunately the quality leaves a lot to be desired. The instructions are easy to understand, but I couldn't make small circles because the rotator didn't make a full circle. It stuck about 2/3 of the way no matter what size circle I tried to draw. I think there was a bug on the rim of the rotator that could snag it. Drawing larger circles was easier because I could hold the spinner with my hand and complete the larger circle.
