Trend 7-Inch Digital Angle Ruler, DAR200

I bought this as I needed an accurate angle measuring tool for making a complicated handrail on a double dog-leg stairs. My other Trend purchases have always been of decent quality and this is no different. I'm always a bit sceptical about the accuracy of relatively inexpensive tools but this has proven to be excellent at measuring accurate angles and then transferring them to my mitre saw resulting in very accurate angled cuts for the handrail. I like the way the locking mechanism doesn't require too much force to keep the two sections held in place. Another one of those useful things I should have purchased years ago. Definitely good value for money and something I will be using more in the future.

The Trend angle finder is a quality tool, like most Trend items. Read the instructions and follow them and it's easy to use. It will find acute and obtuse angles, if used in the correct manner. The 7" version is big enough format use, however larger surfaces may benefit from using one of the larger options. Buying from Amazon meant the price was good too.

These are good well made products. They seem accurate enough? I’m happy enough with the purchase.

Good product

I recently added the Trend 7-Inch Angle Finder to my toolkit, and it has been a game-changer for my woodworking and DIY projects.

An excellent product which I have used a lot after purchasing it last year. I have found it very useful - now indispensable - when setting the blade angle and alignment on my saw bench and mitre saw. Previously I relied on a set square or protractor and sliding bevel, but this digital angle rule is more accurate and is easier to use. Recently I used it to set up m mitre saw's blade at an angle 22.5 degrees to make an octagonal picture frame. This is a standard 'stop' on the saw, but it turned out to be approximately 1 degree out when measured with the angle rule. I was able to fine-tune the setting to within one third of 1 degree and as a result the octagonal frame fitted together with no noticeable gaps between the mating surfaces after glue-up. It will save you time and money especially the cost of rework you otherwise would almost certainly have. It will pay for itself, depending on the project, the first few times you use it. But please note that although the angle rule is extremely accurate you need to take care when positioning it against a saw blade and the fence as it is possible to get a false reading. Measure twice, cut once!

Another great tool from trend, have used these to fit dado, shelves, up stands and many more things, really accurate and locks in place. Been kept in my tool-bag for a while and still going

Purchased 24th September 2024. Used once. Been in dry stable conditions since and has stopped working completely. Tried fresh batteries. Display flickers on and off continuously.

Just the ticket. This will help immensely with defining my angles. VERY precise!

Excelente herramienta, ademas de ser un transportador preciso, al ser digital incluso sirve para comprobar el angulo de otras escuadras y así confirmarlas o deshecharlas.

Après avoir lu les commentaires je me suis dis si j'avais fait un bon achat. Après l'avoir reçu un jour avant la datte prévu super bien emballée je l'ai essayé pour régler ma nouvelle scie à onglet radial Einhell. J'ai vérifié et revérifié les angles avec d'autre outils de précision que j'ai et je peut vous assurer qu'il est au point (au moins le mien). Du coup cette jauge digital est toujours à porté de main pour vérifier un angle qui me semble moins correcte. Pour l’éteindre correctement il faut juste appuyer longtemps (3sec env.) sur le bouton ON. Je recommande cette jauge digital.

Funciona bien y es preciso. No sé si modelos más baratos de otras marcas funciona igual de bien, no me he querido arriesgar. Esta marca es más cara pero me estoy cansando de los productos baratos que luego no sirven y scaban ssliendo caros. Lo recomiendo!
