Tascos are all junk. I got a pair that I let my sister's kids play
with.

Actually, I tested the 54's against far more expensive brands and they gave a
good accounting of themselves. Design flaws in the case cover (at the time)
were their main detraction. With today's inexpensive, but excellent Fujinon's,
the Tasco's seem less of a bargain.
Overall the 54's are fine and I doubt anyone bought a pair with compass for
kids to play with.
