🔍 Digital Finder by General Tools 822 Review

This turned out to be a fantastic tool. Very accurate. Easy calibration, long battery life and auto power off. For those of you having trouble moving the goniometer while tightening it while measuring the angle. The key is and always has been with this type of instrument, even with standard non-digital instruments. This is a "soft" grip before you take the turn. Not loose and not tight. Just gently so you can find the corner without fully tightening the knob.

See Photo - I have checked the accuracy and accuracy. I've used this several times and it's very useful. No more corners on paper. No more guesswork. It is very well made (stainless steel). The keys are a little small and completely black, a little hard to see. The only thing that irritates me is the sharpness of the edges. Maybe I need to tighten the skin on my fingers. It's not a problem when I'm wearing gloves, but then the buttons are almost impossible to use. Overall I'm very happy with…

This thing measures angles, which is good because that's what it's supposed to do. I bought this because I was using a protractor to measure angles on a car frame rail so I could calculate the cuts of the cake. It turns out I'm terrible at both measuring angles and math. Luckily, this angle measurement trick not only measures, but also performs math operations and calculates the reversal angle at the push of a button. A large handle locks the thing in place so it doesn't move. I also like the…

I bought this product because the inside corner didn't look square and I needed to find the exact angle so I could cut the shoe last to get a decent fit. The product arrived the next day and gave me the exact angle to cut. The product is very easy to calibrate and use. Tip: When opening the packaging, only cut on two sides. Save the packaging to store the device after use. There are two minor issues 1. The buttons are small and sit right next to the hinge. not very easy to turn on/reset the…

I bought this to make a number of similar jigs with different angles, some of them thin. My protractor just didn't do it for me. What a great help, this is an excellent tool. Also great for checking or adjusting angles on saw blades as well as bevels, joints etc. I find it durable. With legs measuring 3/64" thick, 1+3/8" wide and 7" long. The markings from 0 to 5 inches are engraved quite deeply. Angles are in 1/10 degrees from 0.0 to 359, 9 degrees read The indicated angle stays on for more…

I'm getting older and my eyesight isn't what it used to be, so lately I've replaced all my measuring tools with digital ones, so I don't have to play the guessing game with sheet music. This is probably my new favorite tool because it makes it quick and easy to check my tools and cuts for squareness. Of course I could use a carpenter's square, but that takes the guesswork out of whether I'm representing visible light/space coming from one end of the square. In terms of accuracy, after repeated…

Protractor (protractor) bought for work. I work on a 60 ton press and use a protractor all the time. This device works fine. I would recommend it to anyone for the price. The only downside I've encountered and all the devices I've tried so far has is that the fixed/loose knob ends up loosening or tightening by itself depending on which way you slide your hands. Another issue that most people probably don't mind is that the two rulers are too long for most of the parts I measure. I had to cut…

I checked several products like this one before choosing it. Many reviewers complain about a lot of things. many of them were wrong. but the manufacturer is the one who cannot give the best instructions. First the battery compartment is right there, just push the little button on the left side of the black compartment and it will pop out. I didn't figure it out at first and I just undid four screws and took everything off because I read a reviewer who did just that. Try not to start the device…
