- Is today's price a good one?
- At $37.99 at McCoy's Building Supply as of November 7, 2026, it is the lowest of the six stores listing it new and near the bottom of its recent range. It is a fair buy at that price.
- How accurate is it?
- Johnson rates it at 0.2 degrees, with readings shown to 0.1 degree. Calibrate it on a known flat and vertical surface before relying on it.
- What is the difference between absolute and relative mode?
- Absolute shows the angle from true horizontal. Relative zeroes at any position, so you can measure the difference between two surfaces or transfer an angle to a saw.
- Does it work on a miter saw or table saw?
- Yes. The magnetic base sticks to the blade or table, and relative mode lets you set the blade to a target angle without doing the math.
- What comes in the box?
- The locator, one AAA alkaline battery and a soft-sided pouch. No case or mounting bracket is included.
- Can it measure past 90 degrees?
- No. The range is 0 to 90 degrees, so it covers square through vertical but not angles beyond vertical.
