Laser Tools has introduced a new digital inclinometer, a digital angle gauge or digital protractor that offers exceptional measurement accuracy.

In modern motor vehicles accurate angle measurement is becoming more and more important, with engine and suspension components needing to be set up and maintained using accurate angle measuring instruments. This new digital inclinometer from Laser Tools (part number 6657) is a digital angle gauge with an accuracy level of ±0.2º.

Equipped with a built-in magnet in the base, the 6657 is designed for measuring angles on metal and other surfaces, and is ideal for engine setting up (for example on Citroen/Peugeot variable valve timing setting and checking where an OEM special tool would be used), or for use as a digital camber/caster gauge when used in conjunction with the Gunson 77137 Trakrite Camber Bar.

Other uses include setting bumper mounted radar units used in vehicle collision avoidance and parking assist systems, level checks on vehicle body alignment equipment during crash repair and angle checks for comparison and setting on any flat surface.

Very easy to use, symbols display the direction a surface must be adjusted to achieve horizontal level. The device is powered by a 1.5V AAA battery, and shuts off automatically after five minutes of no movement.  It is supplied with a useful storage pouch.
