Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was glad that I read the other reviews, which convinced me to purchase the kit (includes extension and case), instead of merely the tool. At first glance, it seems that the legs of the tool are long enough to give you accurate readings on any wall. HOWEVER, calling the "extension piece" an extension is completely misleading. The extension is really a piece that slides over one of the legs allowing you to slide it past the "pivoting joint" of the tool, which means that you now have a SHORT side. This allows you to measure short wall transitions as well as stair angles, etc. Trust me, it is absolutely necessary, and yes it should be included in the basic model even if they wish to increase the price to compensate for its additional cost. One other thing, in a number of reviews the reviewers lament that they wish there was a locking device on the pivoting joint so that the angle could be maintained when transferring the angle from the wall to the miter saw. After reading the reviews, I also thought that this should have been an easy fix. However, I found that this locking device would have been completely unnecessary. At least for my tool, you would have to be a gorilla to inadvertantly move the legs while setting up the miter saw as it is extremely tight. Also, since you know the angle after taking the measurement, on the few occassions where this may happen, it is no big deal to simply move the legs a bit to get back to the recorded angle. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this tool and have used it as part of my equipment setups with fantastic results. As an engineer I am a bit pedantic when it comes to setting up equipment accurately because I know that settling for less than the best can cost you in the end product. I realize that this review is supposed to be only about the Bosch DWM40LK, but word of advice to those interested in setting up your equipment accurately. If you combine this tool with the Wixey Digital Angle tool or a like measuring device, you will think you died and went to heaven as your equipment will be so accurate, resulting in phenomenally accurate end products.
