## Questions & Answers

**Q: where is it made?**
A: As far as I could tell they are made in Germany.  I googled it.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Does the thing in the middle lock the position?**
A: No. It doesn't lock the position, but you have to intentionally exert pressure on the legs of the compass to cause it to turn, so it is stable enough if you are careful. Hope that helps you out.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ease of use
*by P***R on February 4, 2026*

Easy to use and helps me with the drawing of circles for craft projects. Good quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good compass
*by A***A on December 1, 2024*

The compass works well. It is easy to use, sturdy, and stays where you set it. We have tried other ones and this one is by far the best one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not too simple, not too complex, and sturdy
*by C***S on November 30, 2025*

Very simple design. Great for my child who is in HS trigonometry. There’s a more complex Staedtler compass that we initially purchased and while all the adjustment knobs and angles were cool, the screws seemed to fall off easily, and ended up losing a knob making the whole thing less useful. This one only has two of those knobs to worry about and is just a much simpler yet sturdier mechanism.
