Legend Shocker (ID: 0000003c0d5775dd) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/23/2023 The protractor comes on the screen, and it works properly, but it is always like a few off. You can even measure it properly; it automatically goes the closest large number and I can't get it where I want it. I would suggest this if you were looking for rough measurements. If not, don't get it.
