Great disposable compass
These compasses are perfect when introducing the basics of navigation to young kids. The plastic is sturdy and the bright colors and bold print make the dial very easy to read. These are a perfect take home gift for use in a scout meeting or youth class.However these are not made for serious orienteering or rugged conditions. The compasses use a water base for the compass fluid making them unusable in freezing temperatures. The needles are weakly magnetized translating into sluggish movement and slightly inaccurate orientation.If you buy these for casual use, you won’t be disappointed. If you buy these to go backpacking through the Alps, you may have some issues.

They all worked for very low price
So they aren't SUPER fast responsive, but then again, they are a dirt-cheap cost compass. So for the money spent, I am very happy that I received 8 functioning compasses. They were perfectly suitable for the cub scouts I was working with. They must be held very flat and some patience required as the needle will eventually find North. Excellent value for effective teaching tools. Only a couple had small bubbles in the fluid; most were bubble free.

These work well!
We ordered 36 of these to give as birthday party favors and every one of them worked perfectly. Just be sure to hold it horizontally and wait a second until the needle is still, as with any compass. The shipping was right on time too. Great starter compass!

good teaching tool
bought these for my cub scouts. I would say these are more of a teaching tool and not used as your ownly navigation tool. the needle does not line up right away and the person needs to be very still to geat a heading. oither than that there ok

Unexpected defect
They work well until the temperature falls below freezing. Then they freeze and the needle won't move.

Works with help.
I got these to teach cub scouts. Thet are accurate if you're patient. The needles stick in one spot on most of them, and you have to tap on the sides to get them to move.

Great for the price
Bought for scout group. 7-8year olds. They loved them. Have to be patient and still for them to work well but is a good first learning tool without spending a lot of money and everyone has the same kind
