Besides the magnets, is there any advantage to this unit over a digital protractor with similar features? I already own a digital t-bevel protractor.

Smaller and easier to use over a digital t-bevel protractor. The unit I have is not as sensitive as I would like, but it does the job O.K..

it sits well on a flat surface and allows me to use both hands to adjust level

I agree with Petra. The only thing is the magnetic closure doesn't seem as strong as it did when I first started using it. But overall pretty good!

If you are referring to discrete magnetism caused by the milling and the magnetic field of the Earth that would be a no with my experience with this device. It is an excellent tool for detecting radiant fields generated from other sources, but the fields generated in Geo-magnetism are well below the detection threshold of this device as best as I can tell. If however you are trying to read the EM field generated by inducing current through said steel plate this is your device!

The ones I purchased September of 2014 are. Took me by surprise as it is not advertised. I was testing the placement and light output inside my safe that has metal shelves and it pulled out of my hand and stuck to the shelf. Nice feature. Even if it was not I would suggest to those that have the early model, or are mounting on a non-metal surface to use the thin magnetic strips that have adhesive on the one side, and let the magnets do the holding vs the velcro that over time will loose effectiveness as you remove or twist off the back cap to replace batteries.

I don't know from personal testing of that feature, but the unit has been accurate for the other things I've used it for. Klein has a good rep for quality for the price. A Simpson 260 analog/digital Multi-Meter like I used in the Navy will do the job too, but at ten times the price. Sorry for the snarky reply, I've just spent (4) hours trying to straighten out my computer. If Klein is not what you need, try Fluke. It's more expensive (about $120.00), but probably closer in accuracy. I guess it's all about how fine you need to measure the resistance. If you're looking for super accurate stuff, there are specialized measuring instruments out there just for that application. I hope this helps. Mike

I have tried both and I like the Sole Fitness more. The magnet based bikes stop at a lower resistance, at least to me. The one issue I have with the Sole is that the right pedal is making a lot of noise. I think something is wrong with the threads as I have had to tighten it several times.

I've used the AT Pro since September 2013..I've used it on the beaches here in Oahu and found all kinds of stuff.(pull tabs, bottle caps, coins, nails, fishing hooks and weights etc.) It's pretty simple to use once you've viewed the dvd a couple of times. I have not found any gold rings yet, but I did find a Gold earring post. I've been reading and comparing detectors since owning the AT Pro and my opinion, the Garrett ATX sounds like a superior detector and it can be used in salt and fresh water. It also is excellent for nugget detecting. See Youtube Garrett ATX versus the Minelab 2000.... Garrett is 1/2 the price....well just watch and you be the judge.

I use GPS all the time with no problem. I also put both magnets for maneuverability.

You'll probably have difficulty getting readings. The pin seeker function isn't that accurate. I usually need to estimate what I expect to match the correct yardage. It's more expensive, but the Bushnell Jolt would work better for you. It vibrates when it locks on to the pin. Have two playing partners that use this and works great.

Mainly, the price. The powered descalers are electromagnets which achieve the same thing as the economical permanent magnet. The powered descaler comes with a hefty price. Just decide how much you want to spend I guess.

We have both Magnatiles and Magformers. The magnets do NOT line up. If I recall correctly, the Magformer shapes like squares and triangles are slightly smaller than their Magnatiles counterparts, and the bigger Magformers shapes have different magnet placement than on the Magnatiles. (But the Magformer magnets are much stronger!)

I dont think same technology i doubt it. demags is technolory for something like that and newer technologies that use chips like rfids are not afectedThis magnet will bite you if not careful however. And will mess up credit cards if you get near. I use my magnets for holding thinks in place

The magnets should come with the sensor. If not Garmin or Bontrager have sets. The cadence magnet on the crank arm, Bontrager has a nice one if you don't mind pulling the pedal and the wheel magnet for the speed half of the sensor either is fine. Be aware that the Bontrager does have a face side that needs to be pointed at the sensor. Pat close attention to the gaps, the closer the better.

The pinpointer has nothing to do with the main metal detector. It is used after you have dug up some soil and are sifting through looking for little stuff that you can't see right away. I separate my soil into piles and go over each with the main coil. Never needed a pinpointer, yet. Saw one (brand unknown) in use in some cruddy sandy soil that was giving a signal but couldn't see anything. It turned out to be a .22 bullet. Had to practically touch the bullet with the pinpointer probe to get a signal. Could have found it with a sifter (much cheaper).

The differencein tension is not detectable when biking with it....and all are easy. If you use it with your hands, you can detect a difference, but it's hardly worth 8 settings. My husband thinks he can tinker with it and I'll suggest the magnet idea below.

Procyon displays more colors and has more LED lights. I've used the Procyon before and I liked it much better than the Proteus. There is a new one out called Kasina that uses a micro sd card to store the content, which means less wires. I personally wish I would have stuck with the Procyon. It seemed to produce the best light display.
