The ends look very sharp like a needle.** A: Yes, it will create a tiny hole in the paper. When that's a problem I use a little square of thin plastic there in the center; that is, I put this one-inch-square guard down, which already has a detent in it, I draw my circle and remove, and keep, the protector. **Q: where is this product made?** A: Germany ## Frequently Bought Together - STAEDTLER Comfort Metal Quick Setting 6" Compass 2 Piece Set: Universal Adapter, Push-Button Mechanism & Extra Leads - Draws Circles up to 350mm - SAKURA Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens - Archival Black Ink Pens - Pens for Writing, Drawing, or Bullet Journaling - Assorted Point Sizes - 6 Pack - Faber-Castell Erasers - Drawing Art kneaded Erasers, Large Size Grey - 4 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.pt/products/3683626-mars-comfort-metal-6-compass-set-with-adapter-lead-case](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/3683626-mars-comfort-metal-6-compass-set-with-adapter-lead-case) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
