Cheap way to add magnets to both sides of your angle cube

[Rodger]

Most inexpensive angle cubes only have a magnet at the bottom, as does mine. I find that annoying so came up with a hack’ish fix. Bought several of these neodynium magnets for $7 and stuck one on each side of my angle cube with the included double-sided tape. Seems to work perfectly (at least so far). These magnets are just strong enough to keep my angle cube comfortably in place. Angle readings are identical to when I held the cube in place manually. Pics attached FYI.

I used magnetic strips. They are available at Home depot. They come in a roll. You roll out the length you need and cut to size. They have sticky tape one side
