General Tools Digital Angle Finder Rule, 5-Inch (822)

Q: I bought one, there are NO directions to install the battery and I can't figure out where it goes. I feel I will break it if I guess where it goes..

Okay, it's a little tricky and hard to see if you look at the black rectangular part of the device where the LCD screen is. You will see on one side a very small little tap sticking out right against the metal. Push that in and a tray will pop out on the opposite side. Insert the battery with the flat side of the battery facing the metal ruler part. Hope that helps!

Q: That helped out a lot. Now how does the on/o button work? Mine stays on after I press it. Actually, it will not go off.

This is a good tool, help me a lot when I am installing crown molding. The tool is designed to turn itselfv off after about 5 minutes of inactivity.

Q: Is this accurate enough to check the angle tools are cut at for a CNC mill?

Hi Jesse. I'd have to say yes. It does read down to 0.1 degrees (1/10th of a degree) I find it easy to zero out (long press on the 'On' button), and can even rev. the display, from 45 degrees, to 135 degrees. Which I often do. The battery lasts an extremely long time, though I do keep a few spares. Others have complained about the knob, moving the displayed reading while tightening it on the angle to be read. But as you may likely already know, the key here is to just simply keep the knob snug enough to stay, yet just loose enough to move to the angle you are trying to find on your block of aluminum, or whatever. I use it most often on bending polished ornamental metals, and do need to land on 1/2 degree increments from time to time. I Love this thing!
