Convenient, Accurate Tool for Circle and Arc Layout
Woodpeckers Pocket Compass works similarly to a traditional beam compass, except, the beam of the Pocket Compass rests on the surface of your work. That means you’re not trying to balance the whole tool on two sharp points. Simply adjust the two-piece body to your desired measurement, remove the stainless-steel pivot pin from its storage port, spot it into your axis point, drop a pencil through the correct hole and draw your arc. Since the tool is lying flat on your work, you can get a new grip any time you need without losing your place. Gravity is working with you instead of against you.
We carefully machine the Pocket Compass on our state-of-the-art CNC mills, then anodize the surface in our familiar “Woodpecker Red” color. The anodizing isn’t just for looks. It protects the surface from corrosion and wear. Finally, we laser engrave both inch and metric graduations to an accuracy of ±.004" total accumulated error over the length of the scales.
The Pocket Compass and Pocket Compass XL are available separately. But, if you want both sizes, there's a package deal that saves you some money.
Like all Woodpeckers products, Pocket Compass and Pocket Compass XL are precisely machined and carefully inspected in our Strongsville, Ohio facility (just south of Cleveland). These former OneTIME Tools have now joined our always-available permanent product line-up.
