Has anyone tried the True Angle Tool? Any opinions? Comparisons to the Starrett Prosite Protractor and Bosch Miter Finder? Thanks.

got a picture?
I'm sorry, I thought you wanted it done the right way.
Sorry, can't or don't know how to post pictures. Saw them at Amazon Tool Crib online, under "protractors."

I can tell you the Starrett is very nice. Not sure if the True angle will give you the miter saw cut like the starrett will (you might have to do the math in your head to get the m.s. setting.)
We got the bosch too. I thought it was going to change my life-well, maybe a little-but it just sits in the trailer.
The Starrett fits in your pouch. It tells you the angle. Nuff said.
This tool was made by the Crown Molding and Trim book guy. I think his name is Wayne Drake, It goes with the book. They come in a few different lengths.

I have two of them and I'm not too impressed. The 'legs' are floppy and they're difficult to 'lock in' when you're up on a ladder. Maybe I'm just too old, but I find the scale extremely difficult to read. I usually have to hold it up to a light and squint real hard to read the angle. - lol
