Features

  • PROTRACTOR ARM: It's constructed of durable stainless steel and features a 6" adjustable arm for setting the bevel, transferring angles, and finding your measurement. It's an essential tool and gift idea for a fellow carpenter, student, or machinist.
  • CONSTRUCTION PROTRACTORS: This square head protractor has a 0 to 180-degree semi-circle scale in forward and reverses directions to measure all angles on the job. The 3-3/8" x 2" head helps anchor the protractor against objects to hold it in place.
  • ANGLE FINDER: Quickly and easily identify your angles with our rust-resistant measuring compass. The metal arm locks into place with a knurled thumb nut, allowing you to gauge the measurement of the inclination accurately.
  • MEASUREMENT TOOLS: The project possibilities are endless when using our high-quality square-head protractor tool. You can master the art of building new cabinets, tables, chairs, wooden desks, framing, and various furniture makings.
  • GENERAL TOOLS: We're a recognized leader in designing and developing specialized precision tools dedicated to delivering exceptional customer service. We encourage artisans and DIYers to work smarter, measure better, and repair more productively.

Description

For all the carpentry DIYers out there, the General Tools Angle Protractor Stainless Steel Square Head will guide you through finding your angle points for any home, school, or work project. First, you'll want to loosen the nut in the center of the protractor arm. Place the square head on one leg of the angle while the protractor's nut should be at the angle point. Next, you will rest the arm on the other leg of the spot you're measuring. Then, tighten the nut in the center of the arm and read the angle measurement on the ruler's head. When it comes to angled cuts, it's wise to follow the old saying, "measure twice, cut once." This level tool can help you measure angles precisely. At General Tools, we offer over 1,000 products to choose from. We're proud to provide merchants, artisans, and DIYers worldwide with a broad range of affordable, specific-purpose mechanical hand tools and precision measuring and inspection gear.

  • Great learning tool.

Bought for my 5th grader. Really helps him understand angles.

  • Does the job, but average
Style: Square Head Pattern Name: Angle Finder
I do not have photos due to taking it to work, but it works pretty good. Wish it was circular with a flat bottom, but it still gets the job done for average messurments. Recommend going to the store for the same price, but it will do.

  • Excellent Measuring Tool
Style: Square Head Pattern Name: Angle Finder
I do a lot of work with small wooden parts layout. Scribing lines in 1/4" and 1/8" thick stock. Typical squares just do not work well for these small thicknesses. This device quickly became the most used layout tool in my shop when doing this type of small parts work. Extremely accurate and easy to read scale. Provides for fast layout to square which I use the most, but also very easy to re-set to any desired angle. Thumb screw loosen, set and tighten in seconds. Great tool, and outstanding value for the money. ... show more

  • Invaluable, affordable shop tool.
Style: Square Head Pattern Name: Angle Finder
One of my favorite tools in the sheet metal shop, this little gauge is almost absurdly useful. Small and thin enough for all but the tiniest parts, it’s also reliable for measuring larger bends and even in marking saw cuts. For what it is, it is extremely well priced and durable. I have more of a problem with them being stolen than worn out or damaged. I really recommend this for all sheer metal workers and fab shops and workers operating within a degree of tolerance. I encourage every apprentice to get one and be familiar with it. ... show more

  • A most positive surprise
Style: Square Head Pattern Name: Angle Finder
For the price I was expecting cheap metal, blurry markings, with the swing hub being off and loose—I was going to use it for quick and dirty markings on architectural models. To my delighted SURPRISE it’s made of thicker stiff metal, markings are sharp and precise, and compared with the more expensive ones—it holds its own. I can tell it’ll be used for precision positions, too. It’s durability is likely to last year. It’s a true bang for the buck. ... show more

  • Great purchase!
Style: Square Head Pattern Name: Angle Finder
Does everything that you would need a protractor like this to do. Can rest against the face of the side board while you measure the top board. Good quality metal. I have only had it for a few weeks now but I have used it a handful of times and it hasn't let me down. The angles are easy to read, and the bolt is securely in place. Overall for the price it was a really solid purchase that will last me a very long time! Personally, I am using this for wood, just doing pencil markings but I don't see why you couldn't use it for any other angling needs. I am just a weekend woodshop guy but I am sure this tool could be used from any end of the workman spectrum. ... show more
