Bosch Digital Angle Finder UniversalAngle (Measure and Transfer Angles up to 220° Precisely, with Integrated Calculation Function for mitre Angles, in E-Commerce Cardboard Box)

I was foxed into buying a cheap angle measurer, it would have been ok it it measured an angle the same every time but no...... The Bosch, however, is a fabulous tool it's quick any easy to use it measures an angle the same on multiple trials. The mitre angle calculator is a useful guide too. But from here on in you delve in to the deceptive world of mitre saws and what angles the can actually cut! Do not buy cheap

Good value

Good product does what it's supposed to only bad point is the extending slide is a bit flimsy and if not carefull can lead to incorrect angle if this was a little more ridged would have been excellent the product also looks like it needs looking after I don't think it would take much abuse in a professional environment

Had a few cheaper ones for work don't last long this one is much better quality and better to use should have paid extra and saved in long run

Great but it leaves me questioning why there's a 3x more expensive Bosch Blue Professional version. The GAM 220 has 1 extra feature - it has an LCD on both sides of the rail. Anyway...This is very well constructed, the joint is solid with zero play at all. In general the tool is childs play to use, although if you're using the compound mitre function then watch the youtube video for the Bosch GAM 220 and you will understand exactly how that works (it's very easy when you see it done).One tip: if you have an internal corner next to a door frame, you might not be able to fit this tool against the wall for an accurate reading since the tool's leg will rest against the door frame and not the wall. Make an offcut from a piece of material to fit in the available space. Provided the offcut is thicker than the door frame, you can measure against that. This obviously only works if the offcut has parallel faces, so don't go sticking a triangle of wood against the wall and measuring that!In terms of accuracy, i tested 90 and 45 against a plastic draftsman's square and it measured perfectly.

Very accurate, that’s why you buy it right? Well, this won’t let you down. It’s bang on.It will tell you the angle but also the mitre angle which is nice, although not that hard to work out.It’s got a lovely protective case which is definitely a selling point for me.All in all, other than the price, I can’t fault it.Oh, it makes a funny whirring sound when it’s on. That’s normal.

Item repaired and returned

I use this in my job alot, its doing exactly what I need. However I really could do with one that about 100mm long for the tight spots this ones fine if there only one short wall as you can slide out one of the parts to still get the angle but not all areas have a longer side long enough for this to go, so bosch if your reading this get making on lol.
