Tools and Hardware Reviews of Starrett 505A-12 ProSite 12-Inch Dial Protractor
Customer Review: Fantastic tool
Summary: 5 Stars
Accurate, easy to use and a tremendous time saver. A must have for any trim/finish carpenter.Customer Review: Fantastic!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is great. Simple, durable construction, easy to use. I've used it to measure all of my walls, and lo and behold they are all perfect 45's. It took all of the guess work out of my mitre cuts so they are all perfect.
This should be a standard tool in any home owners tool box.
Customer Review: Fast, accurate solution to a time-consuming endeavor.
Summary: 5 Stars
This tool is one of those devices that comes along and forever changes and simplifies a task. In this case, it's calculating the exact degree of a miter joint, be it a perfect 45 degree miter for a corner that's exactly square (rare) or an out of square head-scratcher. This baby takes you to the correct angle in quick time, and it's accurate too. It allows me to work instead of calculate, and it reduces mistakes and wasted mouldings. I love it, and I don't give tools a good review unless they deserve it.

Customer Review: Fine Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fine tool if you are doing alot of miter work. I do door and window casing, crown molding, cabinet installs and stair handrails. This tool will give you the edge to cut perfect inside and outside miters on walls that are not flat or square. Since most miter saw gauges only give you common miter settings in 5 degree increments this tool will let you accurately set your chop saw in one or two degree increments such as cutting stair handrails and pickets at 37 degrees. Where is that number on my chop saw gauge? Your chop saw must be setup accurately for this tool to work. Making test cuts on scrap is still the best way to check the accuracy of your miter.Customer Review: Good Starrett quality
Summary: 5 Stars
Early reviews can be disregarded as the protractor now is dead accurate. Using it to install crown moulding and getting perfect joints. No home remodeler should be without this tool.
