Contractor Hand Held Sight Level (Durable)

My dad introduced me to these simple levels many years ago. I still have two of his, but they are worn and I decided to try the current versions. This is very good. I shot some long lines with it and it’s far superior to my antiques.

As advertised.

Not too bad. Thank you.

This thing works great and is pretty durable. Was 17.79 July 11 2023. Less than 9 months and they’ve almost doubled the price

After speaking with a contractor to plan our house build, my husband decided to order one. Our land is not completely flat, so this level assists you on determining the height of the land. It is easy to use, but I would recommend reading the directions first.

Great small lock level for the price. I do handicap ramps so my distance is usually 18’ to 24’. Works fine. Not for long distance but if you need to shooting 50 to 75’ distance and have used a lock level before great for occasional use. Highly recommend.

The peephole is a horizontal slit rather than a circular hole which lets more light into the eye w/o compromising the accuracy. The bubble is a neat two divisions on the scale. I like that the bubble mirror is in the center of view rather than off to the side. I think that this helps to keep the yaw angle of the bubble horizontal. There is no adjustment (like on most hand levels) provided for, but my initial tests have found the error to be smaller than what I can measure. (I will try not to drop it on a hard surface.)

This little hand-held sight level was the perfect addition to my field marine biology equipment list. My students use these with vertical elevation poles to measure heights of locations in the intertidal zone relative to tidal height. It works well for this purpose.The unit admittedly is lightweight, plastic, and even feels cheap in your hand. But it does the job, as long as you don't have to be too precise. I found to be accurate to within +/- 1-2 cm over a distance of 10 meters or so. Plus if you are on a budget, as most of us are, the price is definitely right!The sight itself includes a simple horizontal bubble-level mechanism and a mirror that reflects the bubble into the view direction. The bubble is quite large compared to the view field, and you have to estimate where the mid-line is, but, as I said before, it's adequate for many jobs. For example, this unit would work just fine if you wanted to make sure that a fence line was level, or similar jobs. It would not, however, be adequate for survey work, or sighting over long distances. A laser level would be greatly preferred for that kind of work.This unit does a good job for what I needed to do, and at an affordable price.4 solid stars.
