The latest and greatest Klein version would be most useful (to me) when measuring where rise and run (cutting stair risers or rafters) is involved.

Thanks. I hadn't seen that version either of the Klein. I wonder if it has magnets on just the bottom or on the other sides as well.
I think they are just on the bottom, so it might not be ideal for woodworking. It may not attach well to the side of TS blade, for example.

I didn't realize this until I checked the specification sheets but it looks like the Klein 935DAG is more accurate than my Wixey Digital Angle Gauge. The Klein is accurate to 0.1°over the following ranges: 0° to 1°, 89° to 91°, 179° to 180°. For all other angles it is accurate to 0.2°.

By comparison, the Wixey is rated at 0.2° over the entire range of angles.
