(More customer reviews)First, let me say I've been involved with residential remodeling since the early 80', and own and operate a construction company. I've installed miles of crown in those years and have probably used every method to calculate the required cutting angle from just looking at the corner and setting my saw to the Bosch electronic angle finder. I'd also like to say I have no affiliation with this company, and I've posted virtually the same review on a construction forum so all I did was copy and past this. I don't have that much time to type away reviews like this. Being a quality oriented carpenter I'm a stickler when it comes to quality tools and equipment, and right off the top this is very well made from 1/8" thick polycarbonate plastic. Yeah, plastic, but its the real strong durable stuff made in USA. Now that's not a negative unless you are willing to pay a handsome price for a stainless steel version, (I probably would with this tool) but cost is always a major consideration when manufacturing a product for the masses.
This tool will last a very long time, even with heavy use in the field, and if simple placed back into the plastic sleeve that it comes shipped in, it will last even longer from not getting all scratched in your tool box.
It's an excellent price for the quality given and for the time and materials that will be saved by using this tool.
You know when something is so easy to use you think you're missing something? Well this is the tool.
Take it out of the package, open the two legs, place against and outside or inside corner and VOILA! Done! No charts, no thinking, no scratching your head. It that simple. Just transfer the numbers you see on the gauge to the saw and cut. Oh, I forgot, tighten the wing nut to lock your measurement so the legs don't move once you remove it from the wall. And don't kill the nut, just slightly snug. It's a good idea to snug the nut just a bit before using so the legs will not freely move about, then take your reading and tighten the nut a little more.
Everything you need to know is clearly embossed on the legs for cutting on the flat or propped up. It's designed for someone with no experience with the math that is involved with crown molding. Yes, even my wife can take this tool, place it against the corner and set my saw.
That's just the molding side of this fantastic tool, the other side is designed for framing. So you get a very versatile measuring tool for the money.
I'm not for new gadgetry, especially when someone reinvents the wheel and packages it as the latest and greatest. This tool is not the case. It's truly a unique tool that will get all the other manufactures saying "Why didn't we think of that"
I have other methods I use to determine angles along with my experience and knowledge, but it certainly was not wasted money. It will definitely be used, even if I pass this along to a helper who needs to double check their math when doing crown or framing. But I have to tell you with all my experience I just may use this because it's so darn easy and a big plus is NO batteries required.
This is a must buy for anyone dealing with crown, framing or any type of work that involves the same type of angles.
