Pros & Cons
Pros
The best feature is how quickly it reads and the readout doesn't bounce around as much when compared to a smart level. With a 9v battery, it lasts a long time between changes.
Magnets in three of th sides to mount it to any metallic surface. Usability is really intuitive, screen is easy to read. The magnet on each side are strong and hold it securely.
Only negative is that it uses a 9v battery. Only issue is there are 4 very tiny screws for the battery compartment. Easy to remove and reinstall with a small screw driver.
Cons
This digital gage is useless in the exhaust pipe bending industry. Complete waist of time. Accuracy is questionable.
The dinky screws + battery cover are too 1970's for me.

After driving and rechecking with the angle gage the castor read exactly the same on all four wheels
There is also no back lighting which would be a welcomed addition to this product
Price
The price was much the same as 6 years ago too
Packaging/appearance
I simply glued a piece of steel to the top of the kme stone carrier
Competitiveness
Works great using it to get proper angle for sharping knives

I make a lot of boxes and clock faces with exotic woods and if the joints are not perfect then theres a noticeable gap by the time the error is multiplied going around the box or clock face

Like others have mentioned the display started telling me that the 9v battery needed replacing almost from the start

Kind of nice that they think to include one but given how long the boat ride from china must be id say you should expect it to need a new one by the time you get your hands on it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The battery cover is held in place with four tiny screws does not just slide open so rather than install the battery that they include you might want to just install a new one when you first put it together

I bought it to check angles on knife sharpening but its just a little heavy and too hard to find a spot big enough to keep it stable

If you need your reading in degrees make sure you see the small degree circle if not the device is in its other mode

The magnets work fine on rough or unpainted surfaces but will not hold on smooth painted surfaces device slides off will not stay in position other wise it works fine
