I specifically sought this model out for its all-metal construction and pen point adapter, and couldn't really find it in other marketplaces. It looks like there are still a couple of small places where plastic is used, including the piece that tightens to hold the pen/pencil in the adapter, and the threaded piece that holds the radius adjustment screw in the metal housing. I think this helps to keep the moving parts moving smoothly, though. It is a fantastic tool, with great weight and balance, and has been serving me well in my drafting class. Comes with 2 extra leads and an extra metal point for replacement as things wear down.

I noticed after adjusting the legs were opening up on their own as if I were turning the thumb screw. I could visibly see the thumb screw moving without applying pressure to anything. If you want accuracy buy an expensive one. This one is not it.

Tried several Mr Pen compasses, all garbage. Staedtler is much better quality by comparison. Don’t get hung up on which model, they are all very good; even the ones with some plastic.
