Angle Finder Inclinometer Level Meter. Cheap ones any use?

[graffian]

I was stuggling with my protractor and spirit level, so I had a look at ali express’s wonderful offerings.
Think the £2.53 digital inclinometer angle finder has postage and will actually be a wallet stretcher at £5.83?

But do they work, is it going to be a useless piece of cheaponess?

Is that the square digital ones?

If so yes I do use 2 on my pipe bender for making sure the bender and bar are set at the same plane for 2nd and 3rd bends etc.

The digital angle gauge/finders are also a handy tool for the few quid they are.

I was helping a friend fitting balconies and could never find my small spirit level so bought one of these. I would say it is good though I have only used a couple times, as he hasnt needed the help recently.

Yes they are square things.
I wondered if they work, I was given a phone to use for useful apps.
The few apps I tried were completely useless, and one of the apps was an inclinometer.

I use an app on my phone called clinometer and it has other functions like protractor and compass, it's near enough for anything I need.

Army knife for android has that function, amongst others

I’ve got a Lidl one . I use it setting the metal planer compound as its as accurate as the engraved scale except I can see it

I use one of them for engine conversion work, levelling engines etc

I seem to recall my long lost kitchen bedroom fitter mate having an inclinometer app on his phone a good 10 yrs ago ..he swore by it .
Not having such a posh phone ( mine had a beetle in the back working it ) I got a cheap Parkside inclinometer and a adjustable digital try square the same day almost 8 yrs ago & a posh Huepar digital level to check the bed on my lathe & set the welding bench top as level as possible before welding the castors feet plates on.
All the bits were reasonable quality and as good as any expensive over priced Dewalt gear that looks exactly the same but is in their yellow logo colours , The laser digital level came direct from China ......Ali Baba at almost half the Dewalt price & other than colour looks exactly the same with the same specifications , likely all are made in the same factory by the million just varying in colours according to what build plan & colour scheme you ask for .
