Looking for a recommendation for a quality digital Caster/Camber tool at a reasonable price. I see a lot of off brands Amazon with good reviews but I am a bit cynical so looking for real world experience.
Thanks in advance.

I use the little angle boxes from amazon. I can assure you they are accurate enough for anybody doing an alignment at home. I believe they are good to within .2 degrees.

I've used that exact one many times. Too bad I don't have my setup anymore. Looks like the price has gone up a fair amount since I bought mine.
This one is my favorite:
I also have the SmartCamber tool. I bought the Longacre after misplacing this one for a few months. It also works well.

If interested, I'll sell the smartcamber for $150

That's the one I use too, but hesitated to recommend it because it's more along the lines of "easy button" than "grassroots solution." It was a good investment though, I've done a lot of good alignments with it. Only gets frustrating if you have larger wheels or wheels without lips, but you can still get pretty good accuracy by resting the pointers in the gap between the wheel and tire bead.
I bought that Longacre one years ago, but the gauge died early on. I still use the bracketry with a Rebco bubble camber/caster gauge.
I bought another digital magnetic base angle finder on sale at Canadian Tire (no longer carried), which I use on various lengths of square tubing to fit whatever size wheel I'm doing.
