Review on πŸ”§ Wixey WR410 8 Inch Digital Protractor – Accurate Angle Measurement Tool for Precision Engineering by Joseph Marshall

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Valuable Tool: Measuring and Marking Tools

With this modern tool you'll never have to make a box that's not square again, or cut a board with a saw that's not set at exactly the right angle. You can adjust the inclination of the saw blade and the angle of inclination. You can also check the corners of your carpentry work on the go and correct them if necessary. There is just one small issue that will probably be fixed in the next version of Protractor. His two arms are inevitably offset so that you can drive over each other. This makes it difficult to check the accuracy of a thin object like a carpenter's square or to use a tool to draw precise angles on paper. If one side of each lever were provided with square ratchet teeth, the levers could open and rest on the same plane, but still with an offset close to the ideal 0Β°. Of course, that means the wings only open in one direction, but the movable ones can be rotated 360Β°, so it shouldn't matter much.
