Yeah, I think they all have a zero-out function, in essence to find
relative measurements. And afterall, everything is relative. I would
generally not be looking for either one to be indicating a earth

seems the protractor has a larger set of uses. The one negative to
the Lee Valley one is it does not have a magnet on the base, but for
$25 less I might be able to live without it.

Spend for the tool that's right for what you want to do. A year from now
that $25 probably won't make any difference, but the inconvenience would
still irritate every time you used the tool.
