An Even Better Klein Digital Angle Gauge with Cool Features

Klein upped their game with a new and improved Digital Angle Gauge. The Klein Tools 935DAGL Digital Level with Programmable Angles does way more for twice the price. Make the jump to this tool.

I tested the small Klein (model 935DAG) against the Wixey (model WR300 Type 2) and AccuMaster (model 7434) digital angle gauges using a 12-inch Starrett combination square, a 24x16-inch Empire framing square and a Milwaukee 7-inch speed square. Each gauge was tested in 5 scenarios (three 90 degree scenarios and two 45 degree scenarios) with each test repeated 10 times (for a total of 50 measurements per gauge). Found - among other things - the following:
1) Accuracy of measurement - Wixey first, AccuMaster second, Klein a distant third
2) Consistency of measurement - AccuMaster first, Wixey a close second, Klein third
3) Being within the claimed accuracy - Wixey first, AccuMaster second, Klein third
4) Ease of use - AccuMaster first, Klein second, Wixey a fairly distant third (it does only one thing)
5) Features - AccuMaster first, Klein second, Wixey third
6) LCD screen - AccuMaster first, Klein a close second, Wixey a distant third (pretty bad screen).
7) The Milwaukee speed square is about 0.5 degrees off when it comes to the two 45 degree angles (disappointing), one is more like 45.5 degrees and the other more like 44.5 degrees.
The Klein gauge was returned as it was too often not within its claimed accuracy and came in last in the first and most important two categories (accuracy, consistency). The Wixey gauge is my go-to as it does the most important thing very well although it can be cumbersome to use at times. The AccuMaster gauge was kept as it was overall not far behind the Wixey and because it looks good and is easier to use although I would have liked it to be a bit more accurate, and because it has a variety of features that could prove useful in the future and that the Wixey does not have.
Note that I am using the gauges for woodworking and the calibration/tuning of my saws.
Needless to say that your mileage may vary with the various gauges.

Thank you for experimenting and posting your findings. My accusize import one I use for keeping track of angles bent on my 20 ton press brake died and I replaced it with a Klein one that doesn't work well enough to rely on.

Start making videos and Project Farm will have some competition!

Russian axicube one v2 is better here.

The little one has been so useful, Idk how I ever lived without it. Please update us on how you like the big one.

[@lastbesttool]

I'll report back. But at the moment, the thing I really like about the bigger one is that it is much less sensitive to side angles where the smaller one quickly give an error message.

Nice video! Do you get the same reading from the bottom (magnet) side and top side? Mine is off on the top side by 0.2 when compared to precise bubble levels.
Thank you.

Hello. Are you able to set it up to beep when it hits level or plumb? Thanks

[@nashad6783]

Hey,
You know a digital level with a communication port.
To start and stop machine operation at different angles.
Thanks

Your channel is completely underrated right now. Keep it up and you’re sure to blow up!

[@westtexasconstruction]

Will disply pitch like 2:12?

[@cognac8297]

the sensitivity one is good for setting car camber i used it to set mine to 0 , then went to the alignment shop, the results for camber was still 0

[@juvenalsolano6762]

I just got it for that, better quality than truck tools 😅

[@cognac8297]

@@juvenalsolano6762 I'll buy the orange one soon and mess with it, just remember to pop the hood and level the car with one wheel on one wheel off. And level the car with a jack under the spendel of the one with the tire off. Then set camber... Or if you have the Kline small square level just put it on the rotor with the wheels still on , and set it. Only adjust one at a time and DRIVE around , then check it, if it's the same cool if it changes a fraction set it. Drive again. Check it if it's 0 or 90 depending the level which is still 0. go to the next wheel .do it all the same .and for some levels +0.1 is 0. Some are one fraction off.. that blue level imperial, was the most accurate I set mine to 0 and took it to Firestone. It was 0 still. I used the Kline square magnet digital level and I set it to 0 went to fire stone and it was -0.1.. so

I’m more confused now than I was before I watched the video. Could you use this in a real project and explain how it works thanks.

[@edsherwook5196]

Mine constantly beeps until you hit your angle… annoying ass hell. U would think it would be the opposite and just chirp you when u where good

[@ragtag5556]

What is the accuracy of this new unit sir?

[@stephenheaton8889]

L is for level🧐

[@randywl8925]

It would be really nice if you would hold both units steady for a few seconds rather than tweaking them back and forth so nobody can compare them

[@replicant357]

You didn’t advertise the screwdriver 🪛
