Previously I've found that the compass screw is too lose to draw accurate circles and usually end up drawing an egg like shape so now I tighten up the compass with a screwdriver, though this time it came nice and tight. One thing that puzzles me, is why do they include a stencil, no one in my maths class had ever used this or knows what it is for?

These sets are excellent value, the quality is fine I tend to lose the pieces before they can wear out. I only bought it because it reminds me of school days,The contents are extremely fragile and brittle. For what it is its amazing! A pretty straightforward item.

Though I can't help thinking that's a lot of wasted stencils. The product is not bad and the packaging it's lovely. Arrived promptly but tin was damaged. i ordered this on the 9th of January and it came on the 14th (before the estimated time the 18th) i do not LOVE nor do i HATE this product, but it is what it is.
