What is the difference between this and the Starrett 505A-12 ProSite 12-Inch Dial Protractor? Confused.

The CP505A-12 is simply the new and improved version of the original red and black style. The new yellow one has laser engraved numbers and the red and black version is most likely stamped. My neighbor has the older style which performs practially the same as mine. Also the yellow model as a bit more information and measurement conversions than the older style. You really can't go wrong with either one.

It gives you the degrees to do compound miters flat on one chart and the other chart gives roof pitch. I hope that helps

I agree with all 3 previous answers. An excellent, extremely well made tool. The CP505A has more info on the scales (roof pitch / crown cuts) right on the leg.

In this model the numbers showing the degrees of the angle are etched into the metal. I believe the other model you are looking into it is just a sticker which, to my knowledge, can be off when applied to the device.

They are both well made. The real reason to have the platinum over the klein in my opinion is the connector you can use with it. See these connectors and you'll see why it is different (it cuts after the cables are in the connector). Platinum Tools 100010C EZ-RJ45 Cat 6+ Connectors.

The probes are about 8 inches long. I don't like itbecause the dial reading are upside down, so one hasto bend over to read the dial. I don't know why theydid it that way.

The less expensive tool is limited to working on three (?) different vehicles while the pro lets you work on an unlimited amount. I think the pro has a longer cord between the PC and the vehicle.

I believe these are basically the same detector. Although the part #'s are the same, these are different units. This unit has a replaceable optical chamber. (whatever that means) Mine works great.

I do not really know but I have found the Proxxon tools to be of high quality and easy to use. I got mine for precision work, not anything heavy duty.

Yes to both questions. It's a great choice, as the clicker type go out of calibration and so do the dial type. This does not. It's in inch lbs, so simply multiply the 27 x 12 = 324 in. lbs. Sometimes i have to use a mirror to read when torquing upside down.Good Luck

Similar! But accuracy/procedure different. One is infrared, kitchen temp,accurate is best attained by probe/gauge/ dial, the B&D leak detector? I have a $2,500.00 so called state of the art, professional contractors tool! And the B&D does almost as precision results! In closing, very good tool. Only down side/con: I attached a lanyard on the heel of its handle, long enough to hang around neck.or belt clip As this review just came in, I'm using it right now at customers home.

I dont care if you are impressed, however accuracy on the laser etched mitre side is perfect. The protractor side has an adjustable needle that can be "zeroed in" using the mitre side.

That is a photo of the older one I think. The one that I purchased through Amazon is the newer version with four rows of dials/switches. Its a great welder in case you were wondering.

looking at these items on ebay - the main difference seems to be dial control or digital control. My original one was a digital control (not like this new model) and honestly the problem I had was the digital button broke and I couldn't control heat. That is why I chose the dial this time

I use the Eliminator II on my sako, it will range and calculate holdover at any magnification. The E-III has windage, a bigger optical, up to x16 zoom, front adjustments, it ranges further and have a better battery. I will purchase an E-III for my weatherby.

From avsforum - http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1050097 In the specific case of the 1909 vs. 789, the only differences (besides the cosmetics) is: 1. the 1909 includes a small, second remote intended for Zone 2 operation, and 2. the 1909 has a plug on the back labeled "RF/RC 2WAY", next to the Sirius plug. The function of this plug is to allow you to hard-wire a two-way RF remote controller (sold separately) to use in a different room. See page 20 of the manual for a detailed explanation. Hope that helps...

The P232 is the tool only, if it is with the two kits offered it is the P234 and if it is the "new" and improve with LEDs to light the work area (the metal case shape is different) then it is the P236. I found this by searching the Ryobi web site for the different numbers.

I asked the same question and was told there the same units, the difference was the manuals. The one approved has more warnings in the manual. To be sure download each manual and compare the difference.

Nothing. No difference. Also, if you order the pro, you will be charged more and still receive the base model because the pro can't be sold without a prescription. That happened to me and I ended up keeping the standard model out of convenience and the fact that it worked great. Save the money and don't get ripped off. Buy the standard model.

The 505N is a newer model. A smaller tip can be better depending on what the project is.
