Actually, my $20 Turntable Basics mirrored alignment tool has very poorly printed lines and grids. The lines are too wide and extremely non-uniform. I don't think it's a very good alignment tool at all. I use it as a mirror to look behind my components when plugging and unplugging interconnects.
In my opinion, the best alignment protractors are arc protractors. The WallyTractor is such a protractor, but there are many others. Personally, I don't like mirrored protractors because the multitude of reflections seem to confuse me. Therefore, I always print my own arc protractors using a very neat program developed by Conrad Hoffman. It is free to download from Conrad's website at the link below.
Another excellent protractor if you don't want to make your own is Ken Willis' AccuTrak. Ken puts a minimum of four different alignment arcs onto a single protractor at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Ken Willis' AccuTrak.
