Is this compass heavy duty, in other words can it withstand a lot of roughing up?

It's solid. My issue is that it's just not very good quality overall. Mine has to be held at a tilt for the internal part to spin. After doing more research, I wish I had purchased a flat, see-through type.

I love it for my personal use. Heavy duty yes. Not sure about a lot of roughing up, while it is heavy duty - it is not by any stretch military grade. Perfect for average use. Backing packing and camping does fine.

It's not solid but I've left it out storms with high winds with and without clothes on it and it hasn't shown any signs of bending or weakening. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this product. The pole shows to be very thick and sturdy.

This thing is made of thick steel. I think it will last indefinitely. The impression I have from using mine is that it is indestructible.

It's stable. We load it up with heavy winter costs, and it doesn't tip, but the poles themselves are not solid- they're lightweight.

It is durable, but not sure about your application. The corners are sharp, but can be rounded if needed.

Yes, it is a great globe and the magnetism makes it spin all the time. I leave it on a lot. It is very durable and should last a long time.

Yes. It is very sturdy. I'm sure it can break with really rough play but it would take a lot.

Yes it's very durable. I hit a few rocks and some minor rapids and it handled it just fine.

It's virtually a box cart on wheels. It's durable, but not meant for bad surfaces. I use it at the farmer's market and it's got curbs and cracks in the pavement. There are times when the spinning front wheels get caught. I would recommend pulling it; or getting another type of pull-cart that would be more durable for rough terrain. I've seen carts that look like pullie-duffle bags that might be better suited for your need.

No, it is very sturdy -- takes a lot to tip it over. But I'd watch the speed on going downhill, for sure.

It is certainly sturdy, and will easily withstand the weight of large pots. Though powder-coated, I'm not certain about sustaining rough weather. Love the product however. Very pleased.

Yes. It has been outside for a year and is holding up very well. I would say it is a heavier construction than I expected.

I will say yes, but with a caveat. The material is wood, so it's naturally less durable than other materials. I use mine very often, but generally with a lighter tough. It's good for lots of use and holds up well, but it won't respond well to excessive force, or overly rough use.

It's pretty rugged, I take it all over the place. It's not waterproof but sand and dirt won't matter.

Yes it is strong enough to go through sheet rock but after about ten screws in, I broke a drill bit. I think the drill bits by this brand are not made of durable material though.

Yes, AND it's very tough. You WILL love it. This is a really high quality product.

Mine was real but defenctive, and with no warranty. I may as well have not bought it. Buy from Camenga directly and pay full price for a good compass that will last a decade or more, even if you have to wait for it.
