wayne whalen: It has a very strong magnet. I haven't had it very long but am pleased with my purchase thus far. I set my saw blade with a square and then zeroed the device and set it on the blade and it was 90.1 so i am good with that. Really nice for the mitre saw which can be a pain to be precise with a square. To keep it handy i just stuck it on the side of my table saw. Seeing a few woodworker youtube reviews of the Wixey gave me the push needed to actually try one.

Landman: Item shown is not the product. New one is rectangular and also uses AAA battery. Had the original for years, but unfortunately did not hold up to a drop on a concrete floor - had it for over 10 years.

Billy Rhodes: Excellent tool for accuracy. This little item is a must have tool. Makes cutting more accurate so that your project is perfect.

Shawn M.: Waited way too long to buy this. Come to find out my table saw was almost 3 degrees off what it said it was. This has vastly improved the quality of my miters. Best $30 I ever spent.

WEB: Been using it the day I received it, Quick shipping and a good price. Glad I purchased it. More accurate than the table saw dial.

Grant Sterling: Works for the intent it was bought for, setting the angle of my saw blade for angle cuts.

AnbenAnben: This solidly built device, with its magnetic base, sticks firmly to my 8" Skywatcher dobsonian telescope. Easy to use, and with a setting circle helps find dark sky objects easily. Because the screen is bright I added some red cellophane for night time use for star gazing. I use the Skyview app on my phone to get the azimuth and altitude settings.

Montreal Canada: The brief: not precise enough to be really useful.
I wrote a lengthy review but it disappeared.
There's a built in variance of 0.2° either way. In other words, you may be perfectly square at 90° but the Wixey will tell you you're anywhere between 89.8° and 90.2°
Even on the same 12" Bosch saw, depending where I place the 300 the readout isn't consistent. This is frustrating and disappointing. I would forgive a variation of 0.02 but 0.2 is guesswork.
I even got an out of square reading on my Woodpeckers square, which is calibrated to a thousandth of an inch. Poor.
The pros for the WR300, crisp display. Backlight is very good. The magnet (s) are strong and secure the unit to any ferrous metal. It seems well built. The fact is uses AA batteries is a huge plus.
This help out someone that has saws out of square and doesn't already own a proper square. For everyone else, most saws come pretty close to square out of the box. This tool won't help you. Not really useful for serious woodworkers.
