  • Must Have Protractor
Size: 12" Length Style: Aluminum Dial Reading Miter
This is just a very nice tool, well made, hefty, comes with a carrying pouch for protection and it has that "old school" feel, not some flimsy cheapo tool. This protractor is a solid tool, accurate, and a pleasure to use. I use it for setting table saw fence and miter gauge alignment, and I check the lineup of my Festool MFT track, and any angle that needs stetting I always check for square and with this Starrett 4041-12 it is a snap. I keep it within reach and always verify my setups. There nothing better than knowing that you are dead on every time. I have other devices that serve the same function, even digital ones but tins is the one sitting right where I am working, always, and I trust it implicitly it does not let me make mistakes. I think one reason that I choose this is that it just feels right in your hands the movement is firm and smooth and you know you can trust it. Although the movement is quite firm and retains it's setting well, it can be prone to accidental movement as there is no physical lock so you need be careful if you are taking the measurement to another place, this is not a problem as it holds the setting as long as you don't somehow bump the protractor and move the setting. I don't even worry about that as there is nothing wrong with working carefully, in fact that is a plus you ought to be paying attention to the job at hand. I am most satisfied with this item and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get serious when dong setups in the shop. Don't accept some crappy plastic substitute, ignore the price, pay the man and be happy knowing you will know the angles for years to come. ... show more

  • Watch out for FAKES!
Size: 7" Length Style: Plastic Dial Reading Miter
There are likely quite a few fakes in circulation from Amazon and elsewhere. I ordered one from a third-party seller with fulfillment by Amazon, but upon close inspection after receiving the item, it turned out to be a fake. I purchased a second that was actually "sold by" - not just "fulfilled by" - Amazon and from inspection I'm sure it is genuine. Please see my photos with the details. The fake was very close in almost every way. Without a real one next to it, it was a challenge to identify. If I had bought it as an off-brand out of a bargain bin, I probably wouldn't have had any complaints. It still looked pretty functional. I wanted the real tool for this though; I just couldn't get past the concern that I would end up with less precise finished miters and/or more rework with the fake. The fake I got appeared to be pretty close on accuracy though. Differences: Laser Engraving- Real has true laser-etched dial with consistent alignment of markings and numbers. The laser actually "digs" tiny trenches with a little roughness at the edges of each engraved "trench". Feels a little like sandpaper when sliding finger across markings. Fake had some sort of printed markings deposited on top of the surface with some of the digits poorly aligned. Markings could be felt, but were much smoother than laser engraved. Would expect less precision in this method of manufacture. Fit & Finish- Real has a bold yellow inlay with a precise geometry that lays in flush as intended. Fake had a little more drab, somewhat translucent, yellow inlay with less precise geometry that didn't entirely lay in flush as intended. Could just barely see some the structural ribs in the plastic behind the yellow inlay on the fake because of the inlays translucency. Pivot Screw- Real has a pivot screw head that is ø0.65" (21/32") [16.5mm] in diameter. Fake had a pivot screw head that was smaller at ø0.60" (19/32") [15.2mm]. Package- Real had a Proposition 65 warning sticker on the back and was not stapled closed. Fake was stapled closed and did not have a Proposition 65 warning sticker. Printing on fake was extremely close to that of the real article. Fake happened to have some barcode stickers on the exterior, but still had the same original barcode inside the package. Some of the details may be different on other fakes. These are just the most discernible discrepancies I noted on this specific fake. My rating is based entirely on the legitimate product I received, not on the fake. ... show more

  • Perfect for the Cost
Size: 7" Length Style: Plastic Dial Reading Miter
If you are not a professional, this is the one for you. The $90 version is amazing if you use it often. This one, although plastic, is firm and calibrated nicely. It worked perfectly for my small project; I wish I had purchased it years ago.

  • Outstanding
Size: 7" Length Style: Plastic Dial Reading Miter
This is such a great tool!! It has made putting in baseboards a breeze. My home has a bunch of unusual angles, and as an older home, many of the walls aren’t even plumb. Using this, I can get each miter cut done perfectly. Add in some CA glue and activator to fix the boards ahead of time, and it’s a cinch to have perfect angles. I can’t imagine trying to line everything up without this. ... show more

  • Great tool for flat wall baseboard or chair rail trim cuts! May not be best option for crown molding.
Size: 7" Length Style: Aluminum Dial Reading Miter
Solid and precise tool. Invaluable for wall moldings such as chair rail and baseboard. Very nicely made and worth having the aluminum over the lesser solid plastic option.. My only wish is that it gave absolute wall angles as well on the reverse side (which is blank). This tool only gives degrees for single or dual (miter) cut angles for your trim work. But if you want to use it purely as a protractor to measure the wall angle, it is not as useful. (For example, if you place it up against a 120* wall, it does not have any indication on the markings for 120*, it instead gives you 2 different cut options for single or dual cuts to fit trim into that 120* wall angle, but will not display in anyway the absolute angle of the wall at 120*. But it does exactly what it advertises for cuts, and does it very well. Just beware if you are looking for a simple angle measuring protractor that give absolute values of a wall angle (which is needed frequently for tables or apps that solve for crown molding cuts - where you enter the spring angle of the crown and the absolute wall angle and it gives the miter and bevel settings for your miter saw to cut crown molding) ... show more
