how sharp are the points, and does it say what type of steel they are?

The points are very sharp - sharp enough to draw blood if you are not careful. I do not know the type of steel they are constructed of. It is a very nice instrument.

Does this item come with lead and extra pointers?

It does come with a supply of lead, and two pointers. One pointer is double-sided.

What size refills does it take

The Weems & Plath 176 Dividers use 2mm replacement leads.

What are the dimensions of this product? I am looking for a 7in pair, is that what this one is?

Yes, these are labeled as a 7" pair. I might add, these are very high quality. I purchased two pairs for a going through all of the US Power Squadron classes on piloting and navigation. I used one pair for drawing and the second pair for measuring.

This is the divider to buy

Having used many types of dividers over the years- these are by far and away the best! Because of the wheel mechanism they dont move once set but are very easy to adjust- perfect for super accurate chart work. If you are doing Day Skipper or Yacht Master courses- these are the ones to get

Worth the money

After forgetting my plotting tools at home on day two of chart plotting my instructor let me borrow his just like this. I immediately ordered this one and it greatly helped me achieve more accurate plots for my USCG plotting exam.Don’t cheap out with the ruler and divided/compass set. Get the good pair the first time.
