Dealmonger: Denali Digital Protractor

Monday, August 10th, 2009

I was trained as a machinist, and finding angles always drove me up the wall. For some reason, I find it really hard to trust my own math when creating fixtures with Joe blocks and sine plates, and wind up verifying everything seven ways. Denali has a little something that may take the sting out.

While digital protractors like this have been around for a while, it’s hard to pass up Amazon’s $23 price on this one. Strictly speaking, it may not be accurate enough for precision work, but +/- 1 degree is more than enough for woodworking and sheet metal layout. +/- 1 degree is probably the best you’d get with a steel protractor. More accurate versions are available from Bosch, but ninety percent of the time, Denali’s little 11-incher should be plenty, and it’ll save you a lot of close-up guesswork.

Denali 115-Piece Home Repair Kit

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

While it is assumed that most of our readers have outfitted themselves with a set of the common tools, this Denali 115-piece Home Repair Kit might be a good idea for those that haven’t.

The Denali kit includes a hammer, 4 pliers, 16 Allen wrenches, a ratcheting screwdriver with over 60 bits, 88 drill bits (but no drill), a utility knife and a pretty big bag to store it all.

On sale at Amazon for $45, the Denali Home Repair Kit appears to be practical enough for most basic home repair/home improvement jobs that appear on the weekly “honey do” list.

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008
Denali Bench Top Work Stand

If you’re in the market for a cheap portable workbench, you can pick up this Denali benchtop work stand over at Amazon for $20. The bench’s steel frame and strong bamboo top will hold a hefty 60 lbs, and the whole unit weighs a reasonable 7-1/2 lbs. You can secure the workstation to most smooth surfaces with four heavy-duty suction cups.

The worktop features a protractor and ruler, in both SAE and metric units. You can insert the four included pegs into 18 available slots. You’ll have to throw another $5 worth of merch into your cart to qualify for the free shipping, which is a better value than paying the standard shipping rate.
