Review: Need for my wood working - It’s what I need will be just fine for my needs
Review: Do Not Waste you money! - Have gad to order 2 of these things. They are utter crap. They are cheaply made and poorly assembled. On top of the frustration in both deliveries the supposedly included central axis needle is nor included. This renders the thing completrly useless. I had to shave down a toothpick to make an axis needle. Don't Waste Your Money. Addendum: it's flimsy constriction majes for inaccurate use with corcles its supposed to draw being off center and not evenly circular. More like a wavy spirel. If I could give it fewer stars I would.

## Features

- Use With A Standard Pencil: Don’t fuss with similar drawing compass tools or certain protractors that require you to use a custom lead writing utensil. Ours allows you to use any #2 pencil.
- Carry In Your Toolbox – Unlike a Beam Compass : Draw circles and arcs of varying radius’ with our retractable circle drawing tool that measures just 5” long when contracted.
- Use It For Variable Straight Edges Too: Just flip it over and our measuring tape compass becomes a straight edge tool. Mark your desired distance from an edge with ease.
- Metric And Imperial Measurements Up to 6ft Long: Unless you need a circle drawn with a diameter larger than 12 feet, Rocksteel’s rotating tape measure will get the job done.
- Measurement NOT OFF by 2 inches: The tape measure measures the distance from the center point where the pin is placed to where the pencil is. Some users are thinking the accuracy is off because the tape starts at ~ 2.5" rather than 0, it is inaccurate. However, that is the distance between pencil & center when the tape is fully retracted. See Image #2 for clarification.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you need to a large draw circles or arcs, don't hesitate just buy it!
*by R***. on March 2, 2026*

Excellent product that is very easy to use, just tap a small finish nail in and your good to go. Sure beats a nail and string any day, holds pencil well. The tape measure portion is pretty accurate, the only variance really come in the size of pencil used, I say always double check that radius you are looking for with another tape measure.
