1702 Digital Protractor
The 1702 Digital Protractor provides absolute and relative angle measurements on a large LCD window. A hold function freezes readings while a one-button zero calibration ensures accuracy. The display inverts 180 degrees for clear visibility when the tool is upside down.
Thermals, noise and power
This manual measuring tool operates without a power draw that creates heat or fan noise. The stainless steel arm and knurled locking nut function mechanically, so there are no thermal or acoustic considerations during normal use. Battery replacement is the only power-related maintenance.
Build quality and daily use
A 150mm stainless steel pivoting arm with a knurled locking nut secures angles firmly for layout and inspection tasks. The single-button zero calibration simplifies setup between cuts or joints. Buyers who need continuous data logging or wireless transfer should consider a different instrument class.

Questions about this item
How do I set the zero point on the 1702 protractor arm before taking a measurement?
Close the stainless steel arm fully, press the single zero‑calibration button once, then open the arm to the workpiece; the LCD will now read absolute angle from that new zero.
What part of the 1702 will need service first as the tool ages?
The knurled locking nut on the 150 mm pivoting arm can loosen or wear over time; check its grip periodically and tighten or replace the nut if the arm slips during use.
At what angle does the 1702 display flip so I can still read it when the tool is upside down?
The LCD automatically inverts at 180 degrees, letting you read the measurement without twisting your wrist or the protractor.
