I just got the angle gauge , if I put it on something that is supposed to have angle of 30 degrees it reads 74.5 whats up!!

Hi Don... To get a fresh reading, set your Level on a flat surface. Set the Level by pushing the 'Zero' button, and It should read, '0.00'. Now it's ready for the surface you desire to work on. If reseting to, '0.00' fails, you may have to recalibrate your "Accuremote" settings, again.

First find a object that is completely flat that you can lay the object that you are checking the angle on. Put the gauge on the flat object and zero it out, then put the gauge on the angle you are checking while it is on the flat object.

Just rotate it and stick it using the other magnets. If that doesn't work, just zero it out on a level surface and try reading it again or you can always use the manual and recalibrate it.

Don't know - but I have a bunch of tire gauges and this one looks accurate based on my experience. Why don't you contact Joe.

I am having the same problem...brought it back 3x without success...also temp guage not working properly either

Carol, This has nothing to do with your fuel gauge reading wrong. Your problem is most likely the fuel sending float unit in the tank or a bad fuel gauge on your instrument panel. This only controls which tank you want to draw fuel from.

The gauge is not accurate while the compressor is running. It is not totally accurate, even when it is not running. That is, not as accurate as a good quality dial gauge. I say this because I have several gauges, and all the round (dial) gauges read the same value,and the other ones (bar gauge, digital gauge, and the compressor's gauge) are off by a psi or two.Your best bet is to double check the compressor's gauge with a good quality dial gauge. It will be off by some constant, and once you know what that is, you can correct the compressor's reading by that.

I didn't have any problem with the gauge. Having never used this product and not being a car guy I was using the gauge, but once the compressor kicked on the needled redlined. So I had to start letting coolant out, while the compressor was engaged, until the needle on the dial dropped back to the proper zone. Some of those responses may have been from people like me who have no experience and just don't know how to work it properly. That being said, I am sure you could buy just a gauge on amazon or your local car supply store.

Presume you are using yardage markers to draw your conclusion. They are notoriously wrong and don't account for pin positions changing and "slope". The unit takes into account up and down hill lies. This may be some of the reasons you're experiencing the discrepancy. I'd trust the device.

If you gently spin the inner gaue part around it should line up a number even with the outer body (best I can describe it)...if it doesn't (like the closest is 4.5) then use the lower number to be safe...also, remember to take multiple readings from different areas on the same tire...JM2CYMMV.

Mine also only turns to 57. If I push and twist hard it can go to 58 but it goes right back to 57 as soon as I release my fingers.

On my original review I might not have said that it does go to hundredths at a half degree. So it wii read 13.75 degrees or 13.8. With a little interpolation it is closer than I can mark with a pencil. Hope this helped. I used mine this morning measuring angle on a soffit. It's a mighty useful tool.

I have put the compass on the dash, to the left of the steering wheel. Now if only I could get it to be more accurate than 35 degrees!

Mine did need a small amount of calibration, my elevation line was too high. Fire at a fixed target from a padded flat surface. Mark your targets and check your calibration accordingly.

I'm not sure. make sure its on a flat surface, not carpet. try moving it to another spot. if its not totally level I found mine was off too but not by that much. also it should be set to default to measure in pounds maybe it is reading kg?

Mine does flat, 10, 25, 45, 65, and 82. Measured with a level and protractor. 82 not 85. Don't know why.

Lol.I haven't tried yet. As I stated,mine is off by 10lbs. I guess check on line and see if they have instructions on how to calibrate. Good luck

Go to MENU-Gear symbol-Horizontal Calibration. A gauge will appear with instructions. If the camera is tilted, the gauge will show the angle. Never really used it until now.

Second thought,,,, if you scribed the angle at two readings of 13.7 than at 13.8, using dividers bisect between those two lines you will end up with a 13.75 angle
