Unreliable [Posted on 2007-10-18]
Poor execution of a good idea. The nut used to tighten this in the desired position simply doesn't work. It's very easy for the setting to change as you're using it. So what good is it if it won't stay where you set it? Not much, I say.

Works good, what little that I have used it. [Posted on 2007-11-10]
Works good, what little that I have used it. Had a little trouble getting the right setup, but after expermiting a little it worked good.

Works like a charm [Posted on 2008-01-06]
I have been pleased with the workmanship and functionality of my "scribe" which I've used mainly as a compass. I like the fact that the device locks in whatever position I want. There are a number of features that I haven't explored. There is a built-in sharpener, and I figure if I need to do a really large circle I can just put in a long pencil instead of the stub that it comes with.

I keep it handy in my shop. A good value.

Great---mostly. [Posted on 2008-04-05]
Great idea and well built. I first saw it in a wooden boat magazine and thought it looked good. As a wood worker, drawing circles is a common problem. I've used it a couple times and have these observations:
1. It holds it's position and measurement quite well.
2. It is constructed of good materials.
3. The pin pulls back for safe stage, but doesn't stay in the extended position without the help of a little electrical tape.
4. I think it would be nice if the pin side would also swivel to allow larger circles.
Would I recommend it? Yes, but the builder could improve their design a bit.

Nice tool [Posted on 2008-05-09]
The joint makes it easy to work with. The only thing I would like to see changed is the pencil holder. I would like to be able to use a mechanical pencil or pen. The pencil provided (standard #2 pencil) is the only style that will fit. I'd buy it again.
