Empire Level 36 Magnetic Polycast Protractor

Great item and price and quality.

had to order this from the USA as you cant get them off ebay or amazon.uk or find them on the netas they are cheap and if you drop them from up a ladder you have only lost a few pounds i use this to set up motorized dishes as it has a a red pointer round the outside this can be set to the declination angle and use the angle finder for the azimuth/polar mount angles it is easy to read but WARNING you must make sure the RED pointer does not rub on the plastic inside the angle finder as this makes it hard to get a true reading as the pointer drags across the clear reading scale makes the red pointer jurk and not move smoothi did buy a johnsons angle locator at the same time (yellow) this has a lot smoother movement and better magnetso i give the Empire 7-10the johnson 9-10the moagon level 10-10 but they dont make them anymore and the cost a bomb as well $50 £30 ish ten years ago

Very nice and very easy to use

The media could not be loaded. I just got it, and the pointer doesn't move freely. As you rotate the device, the pointer gets stuck, and then jumps in about 5 degree increments. It's not just getting stuck on the front or back, because I tried to angle it so it was dangling straight down, but still it jumps, so it's the rotational part itself that's stuck. I tried moving the whole apparatus in circles so the pointer would spin around many times, but it didn't make it any smoother.Probably if I flick it a few times before making a measurement it will jump to a reasonably accurate location..

Very good product

This is the perfect tool to use when you're building a hot rod. Makes it easy to get all the angles the same when building the running gear. Use it all the time. Thank You!!!

The Empire Level 36 Magnetic Polycast Protractor has been of great use to me as a Maintenance Tech. Let me first say it isn't a precision instrument but I often need to know the angles of stair railings, or the pitch of a lawn mower blade in order to get it close to factory spec and this thing does the trick. Very handy & versatile tool for all kinds of angles/pitches.It is plastic! This is not to be thrown around or stuffed into a tool bag but considering the price verses allot of the ones I've seen in the "box stores" it works for me.

Magnetic strips are not strong enough too hold the angle finder upside down.
