Product Review
1. The Digital Pitch Gauge is by far the best as it comes in 2' & 4' lengths to give extra accuracy when placed over a lumpy roof surface. The digital read out is large enough to get a very good photo of the pitch as well as giving a the pitch in increments of 1/8" for even more accuracy.
2. The Analog Pitch Gauge is useful in situations where 100% accuracy is not of the utmost importance and photo documentation is not necessary. Unfortunately the read out is mall and slightly opaque making photo documentation infeasible.
