I had an older Huepar angle finder I've used for a while and been really happy with it, so I was excited to try out this new model with more features. I'm a sucker for gadgets, and while the laser and stuff is nice, it still needs to be good at its core function--giving an accurate reading of angles.
To test it I put it on my welding table right beside the old version and zeroed them both out to zero degrees with the reference setting. Then I stuck each of them in roughly the same place on the arm of my bench vise which is solid enough that I knew it wouldn't move between tests. Obviously getting it in exactly the same place just by eyeballing it has a bit of an error margin built in, but I figure it's pretty close.
Depending on whether I nudged them a tiny bit in any given direction, they both read within .03 of a degree within each other, and both were very consistent. To me, that's a successful test and for my purposes, makes me feel confident the new version will do the job just as good as the old one. I'm glad to see Huepar is still putting out quality product at a good price, and with the new features, this angle finder is a great deal.
