Thinking an angle indicator would be useful. The type you stick on something (I think many are magnetic) and it indicates the angle from level. Digital readout.

Angle indicator recommendations?

What's your budget and accuracy requirements? Resolution? Calibrated or resettable? There are a whole lot of instruments out there that could do the job but your requirements will dictate what one will suit your needs best.

I have the Tilt Box (not sure if 1 or 2), which seemed to be the starting point for all the others. Gift from a friend, hardly ever use it. Powered it back up a few weeks ago after several years in storage, with the battery out, still worked fine.
My biggest beef is it's so dang big. For KISS stuff, it's ok, but I'm often trying to measure some small internal angle where that thing won't come close to fitting in any direction. But none are digital.
So I buy every protractor type tool I find, and they come out much more often than the tilt box.

I have a Wixey WR300. It's highly rated and reasonably priced, but wasn't accurate enough for me for leveling. It would read level, then rotate it 90* or 180* and it would read .1* or .2* differently. That may be good enough for most people, but I went back to using a Starrett level.
