Trend DAR/200 Digital Angle Rule

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.

Great Product, easy to use, took a while to get the battery in. works well and is accurate. turn lock holds firm.

Great product, great pedigree and at a keen price, enough said. Overall, this is an excellent product from Trend, a company known for quality, reliable products.

I tried a bodge method using 2 bits of wood but the results were iffy. I then decided to get a specific tool for the job, and this was on special so grabbed it. Read the instructions, measured the angle and halfed the result it with some mental arithmetic. After setting the angle on my mitre saw and making the cuts, the result was a perfect internal corner mitre.

Great product! The 7-inch stainless steel angle finder is sturdy, accurate, and easy to use. Perfect for getting precise measurements — really well made and feels built to last.

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!

It’s a useful tool, however, it’s hard to read the measurements under 1.5” or above 140mm as the display gets in the way. The angle measurement seems accurate and is useful for internal and external angles.

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

Produit, emballé avec soins et livré dans les temps par un commerçant fiable comme à son habitude. (Original de mettre l'article dans une boite de Tofu , ca m a bien fait rire) Pour le peu que je l'ai testé, cette jauge est précise, toutefois la manoeuvre de verrouillage de l'angle vous fait "bouger" l'angle, ce qui est plutot l'inverse de l'effet souhaité, donc soit on prend le parti de ne pas verrouiller, soit on se fait la main pour verrouiller sans fausser la mesure. ------------------------------------------- Very carefully packed and shipped in time by a well known reliable seller. I didn't use it a lot yet , but the accuracy is there but becarefull the manner you lock the angle (if you want to) you can easily move the measured angle . During my tests I didn't need to lock the angle , so it's not a problem for me.

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.

The display is not aligned with the scale of cm.

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!
