Just brought one of these as my roofers style adjustable one is 2° out!

Yes, I love it. I've only had it a year or so and wonder what I did before it - I have the 500mm version too!

Like everything, it depends what work you do. I bought something similar 3 or 4 years ago as an impulse buy. I don't think I have ever used it.

Hexagonal tree seat! Pretty essential!!

I have one and find it really useful for fitting skirting/flooring where the corners are not 90 degrees..... like all the corners in my house.

Clearly you could use it for that but I probably wouldn't, so I don't consider it essential. I would quickly mark out 120 degrees using compass or dividers and then set a sliding bevel. You obviously work differently to me (which is often a good thing).

Also available on Amazon for a little less (currently £14.95)

Yeah. but how many hexagonal trees have you seen?

 

[Jameshow]

I've been working on it except my angles are wrong I've been using 22.5 and it's a hexagonal cannot work out where I'm going wrong!

 

[gcusick]

22.5 degrees is for an octagon. 30 degrees for a hexagon.

Angle gadget has arrived - seems well-made, and I've already used it to work out angles for a small lean-to roof I'm putting over our bin-store area.
