The first impression

Packaging and contents

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The Zenakio combination bracket is carefully packaged. The sturdy cardboard box offers sufficient protection during transportation. Although unnecessary packaging waste has been avoided, the use of plastic film could possibly be a point of criticism for some consumers. The set includes a combination angle with spirit level. A multilingual instruction manual with tutorial videos is also included.

Although no explicit information is given on the durability of the product , the high-quality workmanship suggests a certain longevity .

This is what our practical test showed

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

With the combination angle, exact 45-degree angles can be marked effortlessly to ensure perfect assembly and precise cuts . The adjustable ruler of the combination angle enables quick and accurate measurements. This saves time and guarantees exact results. Handling is extremely easy. The handle fits comfortably in the hand.
The guide groove in the ruler is somewhat unclean . It is sharp-edged and not deburred.
The problem can be solved by lightly dragging sandpaper over it . The material of the handle section is very light. The clamping screw is perceived as haptically satisfactory . There are no significant deviations when measuring. We liked that very much. The 45-degree angle is just right.
Overall, however, this combination angle set is a practical addition for DIY enthusiasts. Manufactured from deformation-resistant aluminum profile for the angles and the stainless steel rulers, the angles make a very good impression in terms of workmanship, and dimensional accuracy is probably guaranteed for life due to the materials used. The 90° also fit perfectly, they were measured with a solid steel angle and a digital protractor. The rulers can be read on both sides and can be moved easily in the guide, which is also convenient when working with the angles.
The stop sides of the angles are wide enough to be placed comfortably against the workpiece , and everything is flat here too.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

CriterionRemarkScore achieved*

Rating cut4.6 out of 5.0 on Amazon80 points

Weighting: 15%
*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. One common criticism is that the combination angle is very sharp-edged. Many customers like the fact that the combination angle is very practical. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the practical application was good and that the sharp-edged finish was not so good.

Prices of up to €25 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €8. The combination angle from Zenakio is therefore currently in the upper price segment with a price of €24.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performanceratio isreasonable.
