If worried about the screen there are screen protectors you can cut to size and stick over the screen area for like $.99. I have used them on a few tools such as my micrometer, digital air pressure guage or basically anything with a display screen. One protector is usually good for 3 or 4 different tools.
Klein is a great company. This has its place. Angles,yes.on a chop saw blade, yes....leveling anything over the length of it, no... gotta level from one side to the other, gotta be the two end points . But this does have some uses. ...great video, awesome channel 👍🇺🇸
The sides and the top are not meant to be used as your bases for measuring. It is off a bit because it is a square case and the case was not meant to be 90 degrees all around. Always use the bottom as your base for measuring.
Thanks for the video, the level looks well made. I am an electrician and I own a handful of digital levels but I haven't found any with the digital read out on top for pipe bending with the foot bender. If anybody knows about one please let me know, thanks
Nice stick! Just cause I'm OCD... scope manufacturers index the reticle off the flat bottom of the scope, below the turrets. You'd be better off squaring up your scope with a deck of playing cards as shims. There's no guarantee the top of the turret knob is level with respect to the reticle.
Yes Sir! Notice that you did not see me actually mounting it. I just showed that as a way I used it. It just happens on this scope that is in fact true off the top turret also. Sometimes you can only do so much in a video when you are talking about some things that some people really dislike. #2A
I find the value in this one as the brand will be there if I need the warranty. I will pay the 6-9 dollars more for the tool knowing that. Plus, I know that someone has looked at this and thinks it is quality enough to put a decent name on it.
I bought an AccuRemote brand and was disappointed in the LCD display. There was no illumination and I could hardly see the display indoors. A flashlight might have helped, but I didn't have one. The housing is aluminum, though and there are magnets on three sides. I just wish I had bought one with a backlight.
For 30 quid it’s a handy one to have in the tool bag or for doing pitches in metal work but personally I’m going to hold out for the Milwaukee one when the land over here in the next decade.
I am not sure if I understand the test that you conduct at 2:00. You put the gauge on its various sides with the gauge staying in the same location on the shelf. It appears to me that that measures how square the gauge itself is, not how accurate it is. When you measure 0.1 degrees and 89.7 degrees the angle between those two sides on the gauge itself is implied to be 89.6 degrees (assuming the gauge is accurate). If you have a very accurate angle gauge or a Starrett combination square you can check if those two sides are really square or if the angle between them is indeed slightly less than 90 degrees. If you want to test the accuracy of the gauge itself then take a Starrett combination square which can be assumed to be square to a very high degree of accuracy and place the magnetic base of the digital gauge on the 90 degree face and the ruler/blade of the combination square. The difference between the measured angles should be 90 degrees if the digital gauge is accurate and - again - assuming that the Starrett combination square is almost perfectly square. Any deviation from 90 degrees would be a measure of the gauge's accuracy. And thanks for the review.
Enjoy the video I was thinking about getting this one or the new one that just came out former RV leveling just wondering how it would work? I will probably also take it out to the range when siding in great idea
Anyone noticed, that rotating the tool 180 degrees (rotation performed with magnetic base continually touching the table's surface / not changing the tool's surface of contact!) on the flat surface results in range between 0 - 0.6 degree. I am trying to verify the flatness of my table saw, and I noticed this baffling behavior... Even after calibration, the problem persists...
