Review on πŸ“ General Tools 29 Plastic Protractor: Accurate Angles with Durable Construction by Peter Zouhair

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I give two stars but reluctantly

I was tempted to give this one star but basically it works so I've got it give him two. Reasons why I was tempted to give only one: > Only one of the four scales has a function arrow > Lack of instructions. A dial with a pointer didn't make sense to me (it shows 45 degrees when the arms are vertical). Eventually I realized it was used when using the beveled edge of the main plate, but this could be explained with a diagram. Another reviewer basically says it's worth keeping the card the item is attached to. From the photos on the site I can see that there is (or was) a package that had (had) diagrams, but my package doesn't help at all. (By the way, that doesn't mean I find geometry difficult. I have college degrees in physics, engineering, and architecture. Yes, I'm overeducated. But the point is, geometry hasn't become second nature to most people) > It is smaller than I thought (mainly my fault for not studying ALL the photos, but even now that I have it, it's a bit smaller than it should be. The hands in the photo should be pretty small) This device can for be useful to someone for whom accuracy is not very important and does not really need it. I wish I could spend more and buy a tool good enough to serve me well.

Pros
  • FINE BLACK GRADUCT - 0Β° to 180Β° in opposite directions
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
