BIG HORN 19641 Rotape Beam Compass

DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE A good idea gone useless in the execution. Rather flimsy and unsuitable if used anywhere near a real-use environment. My unit is out exactly 2mm with no means of adjustment possible. Some commentators refer to an instruction to add 1/8”. How daft is the manufacturer to have an error in a measuring instrument that is incorrect with or without a “correction” factor! 1/8” is 3,175mm and the error therefore makes the sensible idea into a perfectly useless tool. Use a piece of string, a pencil and a real ruler and save the ridiculous AU$53.86 price now on Amazon.

Tres bien

I regret my purchase. It is okay for making large circles (as long as perfection isn’t required). The irritations are: 1) can’t use a pencil (must use leads) I should have paid attention to reviews. 2) the central pin comes out easily while using the tape to draw circles

My wife uses this compass in her sewing projects and finds it very easy to use with fabric. Compared to other compass options this is a really good value.

Cool idea but just use the lock and clasp on a tape measurer. For $50 it comes with 2 little pieces of lead that u have to tighten to the tip once those are gone no idea how u will use it because a small pencil won’t fit. Also the hole to attach it to whatever material ur using to make the circle is very narrow it comes with a holder but can easily lose should of made it wider to at least be able to fit a screw in the middle to hold
