The STAEDTLER® 550 compass is the school-and-office end of the range — a metal compass with a micro-setting centre wheel. That is the part that matters: it sets the radius in small increments and then holds it, instead of drifting mid-circle the way a friction hinge does. It suits geometry classes and everyday circle work rather than drafting-room precision.
