Review on Digital Level Protractor Inclinometer Magnetic - Ultimate Angle Measurement Tool for Carpentry Test, Measure & Inspect by Joseph Stone

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Super sharp, bright backlight, quick response. But why 3 stars?

This unlabeled and unnamed device looks like a fake Wixey. The manual says there is a low battery indicator but I can't find it. Wixey, the industry leader, has switched to 2032 batteries that don't leak. My last device had a battery leak that destroyed the device. This battery case reveals 3 captive screws that require a precision jeweler's screwdriver, genuine PITA, to open. I'll try and I'm sure everything will be fine while I'm there (81) but coming back is more trouble than good. But I would look a little further for a standard easy access 2032 battery.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
