The Yplus 12-piece set is designed as a starter kit for primary and early secondary education. It stands out for its sheer volume of tools, including a mechanical pencil, sharpener, and eraser, which eliminates the need for separate purchases. The rulers and protractors are made from injection-molded polystyrene, ensuring that measurements are easy to read against graph paper or workbooks.
Safety is a priority in this design, as the compass needle is slightly blunted compared to professional models, making it more appropriate for younger users. The compass body is a hybrid of zinc alloy and polypropylene, giving it the weight needed for a steady pivot. The carrying case features a "living hinge" and a snap closure, providing a organized home for each tool. Parents should note that the mechanical pencil uses 0.5mm lead; for very young children who use heavy pressure, teaching light-touch habits will help prevent the lead from snapping.
For a more advanced kit that includes metal rulers for increased durability, consider the Mr. Pen Professional 15-piece set.
