Review: Tiny Circles - I needed a compass to make tiny circles for some geometric designs I was working on. I'd never even heard of a drop-bow compass until then. My current compass is an Alvin so I decided to give theirs a try and I'm glad I did. It arrived quickly and well packed and works exactly as advertised. Review: Great Compass - The compass is perfect and constructs small circles/arc very well. My only issue was that my compass didn't come with the additional leads pictured in the description. Not sure why, but the compass is great. ## Features - EASY CIRCLES - This drop-bow compass allows you to draft circles quickly yet precisely for up to 1 inch in diameter.
