## Description

Roto Tape Compass | Rotating Tape Measure Beam Compass Alternative Circle Drawing Tool to Draw Arcs (Not 2 inches Short!)

## Features

- Use With A Standard Pencil: Don’t fuss with similar drawing compass tools or certain protractors that require you to use a custom lead writing utensil. Ours allows you to use any #2 pencil.
- Carry In Your Toolbox – Unlike a Beam Compass : Draw circles and arcs of varying radius’ with our retractable circle drawing tool that measures just 5” long when contracted.
- Use It For Variable Straight Edges Too: Just flip it over and our measuring tape compass becomes a straight edge tool. Mark your desired distance from an edge with ease.
- Metric And Imperial Measurements Up to 6ft Long: Unless you need a circle drawn with a diameter larger than 12 feet, Rocksteel’s rotating tape measure will get the job done.
- Measurement NOT OFF by 2 inches: The tape measure measures the distance from the center point where the pin is placed to where the pencil is. Some users are thinking the accuracy is off because the tape starts at ~ 2.5" rather than 0, it is inaccurate. However, that is the distance between pencil & center when the tape is fully retracted. See Image #2 for clarification.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you use an exacto knife instead of a pencil?**
A: Yes, as long as the shaft of the exacto knife is similar in diameter to a #2 pencil.
