Mr. Pen- Metal Protractor and Metal Compass Set, Compass for Geometry, Geometry Set, Compasses, Protractor and Compass, Protractor for Geometry, D...

Bought these because they were metal and looking heavy duty. The plastic jobs are fine for sitting in a school desk, but when you are using the tools in a pack to do map work, the metal will hold up much longer. I wish the compass had more lines for more exact angles and the straight edge lacks any markings of a ruler. Seems like it could have been made more useful by the above additions.

Got this for my Granddaughter after hers broke. She said this one was much sturdier and will be much better for her artwork.

Its sturdy my grandson uses it for school and drawing

nice little, inexpensive set for my son's geometry class

like I said, the compass is quite nice. the edges are extremely smooth, and the compass itself is relatively flat. the logo/degree markers are applied rather than etched, so I don't know how long they'll last, but for this price who cares? I also appreciate that there's a very small cutout in the center of the cross arm so you can mark the center of where you're making your measurement. other protractors actually have a bulge in this position, which is beyond useless. the compass, however, is hot garbage. the lead is held into the frame by the pressure of a thumbscrew. when I received it the screw had been overtightened or something and the lead is COMPLETELY stuck. same with the anchor point I'm forgetting the name of, which is extra annoying since they're not even but can't be adjusted. it could be fixed by prying the frame open with a flathead screwdriver, but that shouldn't be necessary out of the box and will just further warp the frame. when the lead runs low I think I'll just buy a different brand. oh, and it came with only two leads, not four, which is apparently two more than another reviewer got. I can't say I'd recommend this kit just because of the protractor alone. at this quality level it's best suited for children, but there are much better options for kids out there. if you're looking for something to tide you over or something disposable, this'll work just fine.
