This compass is solidly built and a good deal for the money. The pencil holder accepts standard pencils easily but will not take one of the oblong shaped carpenter's pencils. Not an issue with me. The compass was hard to open initially despite having a sheen of oil on it. I added a single drop of tri-flow lubricant to each side of the hinge and it worked much better (still a little stiff, which is good for holding position before tightening the main screw). If you haven't used a larger compass like this before it may seem awkward but I think it'll work fine for you once you're used to the heft of it. It opens to a 16-inch radius so you can make some pretty big arcs and circles. For radii below about 4-inches it will likely be less awkward to just use a smaller compass. Also nice for use as a divider. Note, though, that the "feet" in this compass are not all that sharp and would not be recommended for metal-working. Overall a nice addition to my shop. Review: Es un buen producto, muy útil. - Es un buen producto, llegó tal cual el modelo mostrado en las fotos, material resitente y de calidad, quizá sea que el me me enviaron tenía un buen tiempo en stock y el material en algunas partes presenta unas pequeñas manchas negruzcas; es el único detalle, no afecta su funcionamiento. Ideal para tener precisión en la medición y el trazo. ## Features - Professional All Metal Compass/Divider For Woodwork, Carpentry, Metal Work, Leather Work, Math, Etc. - The Compass Leg Measure 12 Inch And Can Draw Circles Upto 30 Inch (76 cm) in Diameter - Designed With A Pencil Holder To Easily Change The Pencil For Sharpening Purposes (Pencil Is Not Included) - Can Be Used As A Scribe Or Divider To Quickly Measure lengths And Copy Measurements - Lockable Sliding Nut Design Allows For Quick Leg Adjustment And Repeatable Measurements ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B086RV9W72 | | Best Sellers Rank | #183,897 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #361 in Drafting Compasses | | Brand | Mr. Pen | | Brand Name | Mr. Pen | | Color | Silver | | Colour | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,812 Reviews | | Graduation Range | 12 Inches | | Graduation range | 12 Inches | | Item Dimensions L x W | 30.5L x 30.5W centimeters | | Manufacturer | Mr. Pen | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Model | GW01 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | GW01 | | Product dimensions | 30.5L x 30.5W centimeters | | Style | Classic | | Style Name | Classic | | UPC | 850016784230 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Mr. Pen - **Colour:** Silver - **Material:** Metal - **Product dimensions:** 30.5L x 30.5W centimeters - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![Mr. Pen - 12 inch Compass with Wing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+36XQO2pL.jpg) ![Mr. Pen - 12 inch Compass with Wing - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aFzuJLhbL.jpg) ![Mr. Pen - 12 inch Compass with Wing - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81X4LDds6HL.jpg) ![Mr. Pen - 12 inch Compass with Wing - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81d6Fn74L5L.jpg) ![Mr. Pen - 12 inch Compass with Wing - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ta9e203EL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How can a compass with 12" legs measure 30" between the points like in the picture?** A: It only needs to have 15" between points to make a 30" circle. 12" legs achieve that less than 90° open. **Q: Will this accommodate a paint marker, larger than a pencil?** A: The holder for the pencil is about the size of a standard pencil, so I would say no. I suppose you could tape the marker to it, but it won't fit in the holder. **Q: How do you get it to open. I received mine in the mail today and I can’t get it to spread apart** A: All you have to do is to simply spread it apart as needed. You may have to use a little pressure. One thing that could cause trouble is the little black locking nut on the top. Make sure it is loose first Just turn it counter-clockwise to loosen it. To fit a regular number 2 pencil in the holder, you may have to sand it down a little. **Q: Great Compass , but we’re missing the two set screws 😥** A: The carpenter's 12" compass I received lacked the locking and pencil retention screws necessary for its use. I e-mailed the Mr. Pen folks to request the screws early that evening. They responded via e-mail around three the next morning apologizing for the problem and stating that if I'd send them my Amazon order number they would be happy to send me a new compass. I did so and received notification that my order had shipped that same day. Two days later I received my new compass. No hassle and prompt, cheerful customer service make this a great outfit to do business with. And yes, the product was of great quality. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Nice Intermediate Compass *by S***N on 29 July 2026* This 12-inch compass serves for making intermediate size circles and arcs in my shop as I have smaller compasses and a large trammel set for the really big stuff.
