## 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 rotating tape measure tools that require you 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 measuring tape compass 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.
- Lock & Retract With The Press Of A Button: Press and hold to retract the measuring tape and release to hold it at your desired length. Drawing circles, arcs, and straight edges has never been easier!
