Artist 11 Inch Proportional Divider - Upgraded Drawing Supplies & Drafting Tools - Adjustable Caliper & Subject Dividers for Art Drawing Tools

Really impressed with the quality of this art tool, super professional! An easy 5 stars

Easy to work with. And with reasonable care, it’s sturdy. Quite frankly, some of the negative reviews about quality are harsh. The plastic is plenty sturdy for regular use. It’s a pliable plastic that has give and bends a little, but not too much. It’s not a stiff, hard plastic that will easily snap. I use it for scaling for drawing and oil painting.

This is a very simple tool and this one will suffice. It's inexpensive and accurate and comes with instructions for anybody new to using a proportional divider. I highly recommend grabbing this to aid in any attempt at life-like drawings, especially portraiture. Faces are so important to us that it's easy for a inaccurately spaced feature to break an otherwise great drawing, with this tool it's so easy and quick to double check distances and sizes of various features of your composition.

Sooooo flimsy.

Much better than the Derwent wooden model, and much more accurate and inexpensive. Recommended!

This tool is ok. It would be better if it would hold its position a little better. When you move it from measuring to marking the paper, the tool often moves and you have to measure two, three, four times to be sure. Very frustrating.

I have had the previous model for years, used it hard. It works as well as it did when it was new. I bought the new model because it appeared to offer more sizing options. It does! Slightly longer to accommodate more set-holes for more different enlargement ratios. Nothing not to love. The manufacturer left this dandy tool just as it was, except to increase the number of set-holes. Perfect. Light weight, a cinch to use and not expensive. I'm delighted and started using it instantly.UPDATE : I have used the new dividers now for weeks, and I have to say that the pointed tips on the old dividers are MUCH BETTER when working with very small references or hard to see areas (i.e., old pictures) than the newer dividers with their blunted tips. The blunter tips on the new dividers create a thickness that means that tiny measurements are not really possible. SAVE those old dividers b/c you're going to need them. ALSO, the newer dividers tend to slip slightly when moving between source and drawing. The longer legs of the divider perhaps contribute to this, and it happens no matter how hard you pinch them -- the very slightest touch/tap on one of the legs and you're back to re-measuring. I'm working on making the the divider a little harder to open and close; there needs to be a tighter fit. Still a good product and worth having for the greater range of ratios.

Best proportional dividers on the market. Especially if you use the app with them.
