How accurate is this tool?

I had real problems with this tool because the oval piece (like a washer) the the slot rides on was too narrow to be a tight fit - therefore, there was 'slop' in the tool - 2.5 degrees of slop.I think the actual _sensor_ was _very_ accurate - a fraction of a degree.I _almost_ tried to fix it by hammering or otherwise widening the "washer" - just a small metal piece that connects the sensor to the actual steel - but, in the end, I returned this item, and got a competitors product, which did not have this issue.Now, if you're always turning it against the washer in the same direction, it would work repeatably - but - this was a deal breaker for me.

I've used it about 20 times or so. Never had an issue. I always zero it out before each use. Great tool. I'd recomend it to anyone.

It is accurate for the woodworking that I do. I used it to setup angles in U.S. Flag cases that I build. I have checked it against a wixie angle cube and they both are dead on.

Ours is pretty accurate with the readings our physician gets. Make sure you follow all the suggested directions.

I don't have the tool with me right now to confirm but I have used it up top 64 feet and its accurate to a 1/16" of an inch.

Yes, it works very well. It is very accurate at 0.00025" per step and repeatability is 98% or higher. The machine comes standard with direct drivescrew axes incorporating an anti-backlash mechanism in each axis. We have many satisfied customers including NASA, Olympus, London Science Museum and many others routinely using our machine in both professional and hobbyist applications. There's more information on our website, and feel free to ask any additional questions you may have.

Frankly, I don't know if it is or not. I gave it to my sister in Colorado. I have a smaller one that I bought at Tuesday Morning which was in the same price range. The quality felt good and it worked as it was supposed to, but I no longer have the tool to compare any numbers, so can't speak to authenticity. Perhaps a close-out lot?? I don't know - sorry.

My 505A-7 was shipped on the 8/04/14. On the box there was a label about being laser engraved for accuracy. The numbers and degrees marks are raised above the surface of the metal ( I would say less that a .001 of an inch) for you can feel them. In other words the surface is not smooth like the information on the legs. The information on the legs looks to be printed for the surface is very smooth. This tool is very accurate, I've check it with several of my other degree measuring tools.

The 90 degree straight down is very accurate . The miter is adjusted by the operator. If it's adjusted correctly it will be accurate. Only draw back is there's no miter angle scale on the saw. Use a speed square or a angle finder and mark the base. It's a very good saw!

I just got it and I've only used it twice, but yes it's accurate...although one of those times it did take me on a slightly longer route which used wider streets. I assumed that was by design because I told it I was driving a 40' motor home.

Probably...but, I would not buy it. It is very cheaply made and not accurate at all.

Mine seems to give accurate readings...instruction sheet in box is fairly clear and easy to follow, even for an old timer like me.

I am sorry but I don't have a way to really test the accuracy, and I don't have anything to even use it in the reverse direction. Also, it would probably cost me more to get it calibrated than I paid for the wrench.

I found this cutter to be accurate. I did find that it was necessary for me to "practice" with scrap paper to be certain I was getting the cut I wanted before I began. I also gradually increased the number of sheets I was attempting to cut at one time (this varied with paper thickness). Use caution, blade is very sharp.

It is accurate. I tuned a guitar with it and then played that guitar with a keyboard track and it was perfect. sometimes it takes a little longer than i would like for it to respond but that's true of all the tuners i have used.

I am on my second tiny Tach. I hav had the first one for 12 years. It is pretty accurate with the Rpm's.I use it primarily as an hourmeter for maintaince on my outboard. Get one with the longest cord available so you can easily snake it from your console to your outboard.

Yes, I had no problem with it being accurate. I do a lot of country road running and I have tracked it in my car the miles are the same. :)

Debbie, hello the one you purchased will give you the results you are looking for, I use mine everyday for 15 minutes, it is a great tool. I hope this answered your question.

My answer would be a big YES... it seems very accurate and I often compare it to the one my Step-mom uses daily at her Hospital job.It's consistant within 2 or 3 percent. My husband and I are in our late 50's and we both use it once every morning...again after our daily workout at the Gym...and again a few hours after the Gym workouts. six times a day and it has never failed to give good solid readings.
