My Woodcraft catalog claimed readout in increments of 0.01 degrees; but I've heard since that it only reads in 0.1 degrees. If you need hundredths of a degree, then you'll need to wait a bit - otherwise it looks like a good buy. I've seen it advertised elsewhere close to the Woodcraft sale price; so I don't think you need be in a big hurry because of the Woodcraft sale ending date.
[ I bought an MD "SmartLevel" with a magnetic base, both 24" and 48" level bodies, and a 48" padded carrying case for about twice the price of the Wixey device. The MD product has been in use for several years using my original 9V battery and I've been happy with it. ]
