I should have acquired one of these years ago! This is a quality product and better than other proportional dividers available in the UK. It is made from durable plastic which is easier to handle than heavier metal dividers. The divider is 10 inches long (folded) and allows scaling up to 15½ inches (this could obviously represent part of the bigger image you are drawing or painting). It can used to scale down as well as up! Once you have found the designated measurement, the divider stays well in place i.e. the arms are not slack or loose. It took only a week for shipping from from the US to UK. There is an informative and amusing demonstration on YouTube by Stefan Baumann titled "Proportional Divider The Best Keep Secret to Improve Your Drawing". Happy painting!

This is a good idea for a tool, but poor choice of material. I purchase the tool not so long ago and I had a chance to start using it. Unfortunately, I accidentally bumped it out my table and one of the tips broke off. I am very disappointed I never got to use it. I think and suggest that the tool should be made out off a durable material. Thanks,

The item is functional & lightweight. It works best when measuring larger proportions & becomes a little less accurate with small measurements simply because their is a little bit of bend in the material itself. It certainly saves time over the gridding method of sizing.

I have been looking for these proportional dividers in art shops everywhere in the UK to no avail. I was so pleased to find that you can buy them from the US and that with shipping they cost me £23. They are far superior to the Derwent and wooden versions. The points are very precise and the dividers are sturdy. I can thoroughly recommend them.

Inaccurate. When I set it to measure 5/1 it is actually more like 4/1. I mistakenly thought the product could be used for finer work than it was apparently designed to do. It might be fine for artist type " close is ok work", but not for drafting or , in my case, model building.
