Box Contains 1x Noris Club School Compass with Extension Bar Review: Good solid compasses - I bought this because I needed a decent compass with a pen holder. I had persevered for some time with an old but very solid drawing kit that used ruling pens and wasn't able to hold a fine liner or a pen. I think I was a bit put off by the product name "school compass", which made me think this might not be a serious bit of kit, but I was wrong. The hinge section is metal and very secure. The interchangeable legs are plastic, but look reasonably durable. Most importantly, the compass draws a good consistent circle with no creep either wider or narrower. The pen holder, which is what I bought the kit for, will hold a pencil, mechanical pencil or fine liner, and even an extra fine sharpie, and performs just as well with these attached. With the extension bar in place, I have the range to cover anything I'm going to need to draw on an A3 sheet of paper. The only limitation is at the smaller end of the range, where there's a practical minimum radius with pen holder of about 16 or 17 mm due to the pen touching the centre wheel thread. All in all a very good instrument at a very reasonable price. Review: Very nice. - Good for drawing larger circles plus I can fit a pen into it to draw inked circles. My favourite is still my Faber Castell compass but this Staedtler can do things the Faber cannot so well worth owning both. ## Features - Precision compass with centre wheel and quick setting mechanism - Interchangeable lead part and needle - Hinged lead and needle legs - Maximum circle approximately 260 mm, with extension bar approximately 395 mm - Displayed in a hinged lid case ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000WH0XBC | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Age range (description) | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | 56,704 in Stationery & Office Supplies ( See Top 100 in Stationery & Office Supplies ) 37 in Drafting Compasses | | Body Shape | Rectangular | | Brand | STAEDTLER | | Brand Name | STAEDTLER | | Closure Type | Hinged lid | | Colour | Aluminium | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 8,568 Reviews | | Drill Point | Needle point | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04007817550014 | | Grip Type | Smooth | | Included Components | Extension Bar, Universal Adapter, Lead Box | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Colour | Black | | Ink colour | Black | | Is the Product Left or Right Handed? | Ambidextrous | | Item Diameter | 350 Millimetres | | Item Dimensions | 20 x 2.1 x 10.4 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Circle Sets | | Item Weight | 141 g | | Line Size | 150 Millimeters | | Manufacturer | Staedtler | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | 55002 | | Model Number | 550 02 ST | | Recommended Uses For Product | Drafting, Writing | | Special Features | Eco Friendly | | Style | With Extension Bar/Universal Adapter/Lead Box | | UPC | 793187155853 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Writing Instrument Form | Multifunction Writing Instruments | | Writing instrument form | Multifunction Writing Instruments | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** STAEDTLER - **Colour:** Aluminium - **Ink colour:** Black - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Model name:** 55002 - **Point type:** Needle point - **Special feature:** Eco Friendly - **Unit count:** 1.0 count - **Writing instrument form:** Multifunction Writing Instruments ## Images ![STAEDTLER 550 02 Noris School Compass with Centre Wheel, Extension Bar, Universal Adapter and Lead Box (350 mm Diameter) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Amtt5mQLL.jpg) ![STAEDTLER 550 02 Noris School Compass with Centre Wheel, Extension Bar, Universal Adapter and Lead Box (350 mm Diameter) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610GovpJ0fL.jpg) ![STAEDTLER 550 02 Noris School Compass with Centre Wheel, Extension Bar, Universal Adapter and Lead Box (350 mm Diameter) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91GGeYY7IwL.jpg) ![STAEDTLER 550 02 Noris School Compass with Centre Wheel, Extension Bar, Universal Adapter and Lead Box (350 mm Diameter) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Y2jylREwL.jpg) ![STAEDTLER 550 02 Noris School Compass with Centre Wheel, Extension Bar, Universal Adapter and Lead Box (350 mm Diameter) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71l35pBi8tL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what size is the lead?** A: 19mms plus a spare. **Q: Hi! it said material type stainless steel. the one ive got it plastic. anyone alse the same ?** A: Are you sure it's plastic? To me it feels like a very lightweight metal, aluminium, perhaps. It's tricky because it has a plastic feel but is far too cold to be plastic. Does it really matter? This compass works excellently. **Q: Can you attach the universal adapter onto the extension bar, so that you can use a pen at greater radius?** A: You can use the pen adapter at greater radius, but not in the way you suggest. The extension bar has a metal point (i.e. the centre of the circle) and attaches to one leg of the compasses. The universal adapter would be attached to the other leg of the compasses. So pens can be used for large circles, just not in the way you asked. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good solid compasses *by F***S on 11 February 2019* I bought this because I needed a decent compass with a pen holder.

My favourite is still my Faber Castell compass but this Staedtler can do things the Faber cannot so well worth owning both. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but has a major flaw *by D***E on 27 June 2026* Mixed opinions on it - pro first. It’s a ok plastic box it come it. Nice that it has a ruler on it and with the pencil lead it drains nice consistent circles. Even small ones. Now the cons - it arrived with the lid unattached. It had popped off its hinge, so had to fix that. I’ve changed the pencil lead fitting for the pen attached and well …. It won’t fit. The metal post in the middle is too long. So it was work with tiny pencils and tiny pens (if they exist). Annoying as I wanted to be able to draw circles with my fine pen. ## Frequently Bought Together - STAEDTLER 550 02 Noris School Compass with Centre Wheel, Extension Bar, Universal Adapter and Lead Box (350 mm Diameter) - SAKURA Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens - Archival Black Ink Pens - Pens for Writing, Drawing, or Bullet Journaling - Assorted Point Sizes - 6 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/49407031-staedtler-550-02-noris-school-compass-with-centre-wheel-extension](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/49407031-staedtler-550-02-noris-school-compass-with-centre-wheel-extension) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
