That's what the fixed-angle part of the sensor is for. It should be 59 degrees. I tested it on a high end protractor and found it to be almost 2 degrees. Then I checked the protractor with an accurate 45 degree angle and the drawing protractor, it also deviates by 1-2 degrees. I seem to remember that my old one was still there.

The quality is bad, the accuracy is worse. But at least they didn't respond to my request for help via email, phone or text.

This can work well to level a table with a short leg. if you put it under the short leg!

This is one of those simple but very useful tools that I wish I had come across years ago. It comes in handy for multiple daily workshop needs. We are only limited by OUR ability to learn how to use IT. Each week I choose a different tool function and then try to learn how to use it correctly in different situations in the shop and at home. What I was able to solve and "dissolve" deserves attention! This little tool is a powder keg of application and determination! This is the perfect gift for…

Now made in India. The model in the photo (as of 09/12/17) shows the USA with a proud embossing in the middle. These versions were accurate and the protractor wobbled nice and smoothly. The Indian version has a jumbled scale, a large radius where to set the drill's angle, a bent and torn protractor, and a trampled on rivet that is both off-center and sticking. so far from the back that it becomes unusable in a horizontal position. Luckily Revain has a great returns policy and I hope General…
