The compact, lightweight instrument provides stable pencil holding and simple radius adjustment, enabling precise circles and arcs for geometry lessons, drafting and hobby projects. The construction balances portability with sufficient durability for everyday educational and craft tasks.

Advantages

The compass offers controlled radius adjustment and a secure pencil clamp to minimize slippage during drawing. Its compact size and light weight make it convenient to carry in a pencil case, while the metal point provides a reliable center anchor on paper. The straightforward mechanism is easy for students and hobbyists to set up and use without tools, allowing repeatable results for routine work.

Key specifications

• Color: blue
• Type: drawing compass for pencil use
• Material: mixed plastic and metal components for weight balance and durability
• Adjustment: manual screw/hinge mechanism for setting radius
• Portability: compact, lightweight design suitable for pencil case storage

How to use

Place the metal point at the intended center on the paper and insert a pencil into the clamp. Adjust the hinge or screw to set the desired radius and tighten to secure the pencil. Hold the compass steadily at the top joint, rotate the pencil arm around the fixed point to draw a circle or arc, maintaining even pressure to avoid slipping. For repeated sizes, measure once and mark the hinge position or use the same setting until work is complete.

Usage recommendations

Use a sharpened pencil for clean lines and check the pencil clamp regularly to ensure a firm grip. Work on a stable surface and replace the pencil as needed. Avoid excessive force on the hinge to prolong the compass life; store the instrument in a protective case to prevent damage to the metal point.
