What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates. If you are looking for wholesale prices please feel free to contact us.

Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Really small You can attach them to just about anything with abit of glue Easy to read
Cons: Reliability is abit of an issue. Not all of them pointed the same way for instance. Its also kind of hard to ensure that the metal disc thing is balnaced properly so that it doesnt get stuck and point in the wrong direction.
Other: For the price, the quality and reliabilty are expected. Buying this cant be a bad thing.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: These are small plastic compasses with a transparent top which consist of a magnetic disc suspended on a needle. There is no liquid inside the compass but the disc spins quite well. There are markers every 10 degrees, and N/W/E/S positions are clearly marked on the dial.
Cons: A couple of the compasses were not well balanced, so the disc was not able to spin to the correct position.
North is marked with a little pointer on the dial. Might have been better if it was in a different colour from E/S/W.
Not sure about accuracy, but seemed good to within 10-20 degrees.
Other: Nice item. Surprisingly good given the size and price!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: - Tiny - They do work! - Extremely cheap (less than 13 ct each!) - Great for small kids.
Cons: - The product description "Can be sticked on to various surfaces" is a bit misleading as these items are NOT self adhesive. You could use glue though, but in that case you could stick anything to everything.
- Not very accurate (which was to be expected at this price).
- No dampening of needle (which was to be expected at this price).
- Quality varies a bit, some work better than others (needles stick sometimes to housing, shaking helps in that case).
Other: I bought these as a gift for a bunch of 6-7 year old boy & girl scouts, together with sku 1100 (2x). For that purpose it's perfect! They surely will love them!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: I know the size is clearly stated but when they arrived they look so tiny i ordered 100 of them,and then had an idea i stuck them on the small keychain flashlights and people loved them.
Cons: Need good eyesight to see them,but they are quite accurate.not much use in the middle of a jungle.
Other: Crafts people or hobbiest will love these and i am sure you can think of a good use for them.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: small will fit any were good for a laugh and if placed round a magnet will show magnetic fealds
Cons: work better than some people have surgested
Other: good if ya have good eyesight
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Small size, cheap price
Cons: Only two of the twenty came close to working.
Other: Give them a try since they are so affordable, but don't expect too much. Still kind of a neat novelty item even thought the function is marginal at best.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Small
Cons: Not very good build quality or quality control. Almost half of the 20 were not properly balanced and so couldn't point north reliably. One worked fine but had the decal reversed (It said north was south, etc.)
Other: Fun to play with, but poor quality.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Small, light weight, inexpensive and easily mounted to flat plastic surfaces with a single drop of super-glue.
Cons: Some are more accurate than others. Out of two bags of 20, thirty were dead-on, 8 were in the zone to be accurate enough for a non-life or death occasion and 2 were not at all right. However, at this price, I'm still very happy with it and consider it a bargain.
Other: Nice as a giveaway trinkets or for crafting. I got these to leave in geocaches. If you're looking for a cheap, disposable compass, these will suit your needs perfectly.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: These little compasses (compasii?) have several good qualities.
-PRICE-
At approx 10c each how could you go wrong?
-MAGNET STRENGTH-
Surprisingly strong magnet for a compass this size brings arrow around quickly
-APPROPRIATE SPINDLE-
metal on metal is a simple design but works well at this size
-CLEAR PRINTING-
green\white on black is easy to read
Cons: OK any device built down to this price is going to have issues.
-NO DAMPING-
more expensive compasses have oil or water damping these don't so wobble about a lot without a steady hand.
-NOT WELL BALANCED-
many of these little bad boys need to be held at odd angles to work but hey they still work.
-A FEW POINT THE WONG WAY-
about 10% were far enough off for me to decide to bin them. Not hard to test as you do have 18 to compare them to.
Other: Being prepared for the failure rate I felt I had made a good buy
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Nive to have and to give away.
Very small so can be used on small items such as postcards.
Very cheap.
Cons: Not very functional. Just a tiny little gadget
Positioning on a flat surface is not very easy so compass does not work as it should easily. You have to be patient with it.
Other: Nice, very cheap little compasses. Not very usefull but nice for several purposes.
