    I've always used Weems & Plath equipment, seems like the industry standard...

    That is the best.

    Some of the Weems and Plath are cheap trash for the recreational market (Westmarine dividers for example) and also re-branded. But my good Weems stuff seems to hold up better than any other and is worth a few dollars more.

    I have had weems and plath and lately their stuff has suffered from poor quality. If you want a really nice set of stuff that will last forever then check out this:

    Best navigational protractor or triangles:

    The yellow case keeps them from looking worn.

    Blundell Harling makes nice 8" straight dividers. I like them for large scale charts.
