Default Buying a caster angle locator

In the write-up of Wayoflife, to adjust the caster, he has the Johnson angle locator 700 (color yellow)

There is also another model: Johnson angle locator 750 (color black)
This model is cheaper.

What is the difference between both?

Which one to buy?

Not sure about those two, but I bought one for $9.99 it may not be the most precise but I think it is close enough.

I bought the 750 yesterday. Worked great. I think the yellow one in WOL's write-up is magnetic. The one I bought is not.

After looking around unsuccessfully for what seemed like forever to find mine, I ended up using my iPhone. Seems to have worked well. Probably didn't help with your question, but its an option... assuming you have an iPhone.

Yes, but I live in Canada, and, Sears Canada IS NOT Sears USA

With the shipping and custom fees, and money exchange, it's not 5$, believe me
