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.
I love this product!!!! Once I learned how to properly use it, it has helped to turn my drawings around. I would give it five star but I took once star away because of one issue. The tips are very small and since it's made out of plastic and if you drop it or accidentally knock it off a table the tips will end up snapping off. I can still use it but have to be careful about the placement. I would re-order but I'm in China currently and can't get stuff here unless I have a Chinese ID. Down side to living in China.
I have been searching for proportional dividers for a long time. I don't do any highly accurate drawing or any technical drawing - I just like to draw, and this is a great tool to help with proportion. A friend showed me inexpensive plastic dividers that he had purchased many, many years ago but he wasn't sure they were still available. I found out they weren't.
From time-to-time in the last 18 months I've done an internet search for proportional dividers and have only found dividers priced at $100 or more (sometimes much more). That wasn't in my budget and I didn't necessarily need dividers of that quality for my purpose. Of all the "art" companies out there I often wondered why one of them didn't add inexpensive proportional dividers to their product line.
Two weeks ago, much to my surprise, these dividers appeared in my internet search. I purchased them from Amazon - they arrived very quickly. They are made of plastic, seem pretty durable, are very light-weight and move smoothly. To change the proportion you just remove the plastic pin and move it to a different hole. It's easy to do and just takes a minute. They arrive in a plastic tube with some very basic instructions for using them. Included is a chart showing the proportion represented by each hole. I haven't used them much yet, but I can't see any reason why with a little care these won't last for many, many years.
Before purchasing these I went to the YouTube and watched the video about using them. I found it helpful.
The price is so good I'm going to buy a second pair and leave it in my travel bag so I'll have one when drawing away from home.

I could never do that with a simple pencil or a thumb.
