Review on General Tools 823 Protractor Increments by Michael Glassburn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It should have been many years ago!

Instead of experimenting with different cuts with my saw or blueprint and halving the angle (and then putting it on the corner fence), I can now use this digital gauge by reading the result divide by 2 and set the angle on my miter saw. As anyone who's done some refinishing knows, there's rarely a true 90 or 45 degree angle in a house (hence heel or toe gap corners and/or extensive use of caulk in painted trim joints). This tool doesn't work magic and your miter saw will need to be adjusted for a precise cut, but it certainly makes the process easier. Yes, the manual meter works well too, but my old eyes will surely appreciate the clear digital readings on this product.

Pros
  • LOCK AND RECOVER - The digital protractor has locking and reverse angle functions. Place a square ruler where you want to measure the next cut, SCREW it down with a knurled lock nut, make a mark and use a miter saw to make the cut. The corner finder will automatically show the reversal angle
Cons
  • Slightly torn
