Compasses and Protractors

Compasses and protractors are marking-out and measuring instruments used in workshops, metalwork and building. Compasses are used to draw circles and arcs and to transfer distances, protractors to measure and check angles. In the collection you will find Fervi and Stabila products.

Types available

• Dividers (point compasses) in steel, in various lengths, also with a locking arc (Fervi).
• Electronic protractors, which show the angle on a digital display (Stabila).
• Other measuring instruments for angles and slopes.

How to choose

For compasses, the length of the legs sets the maximum opening, and therefore the largest radius you can draw. The locking arc allows the opening to be fixed. For protractors, consider the measuring range, the resolution of the reading and the sturdiness of the body, especially if the instrument is used on site. Electronic models are quicker to read, while mechanical ones need no batteries.
