This Level is a MUST HAVE for serious contractors
By A. Wallace
I am a general contractor and take pride in the precision that we perform layout and construction. Having purchased this SmartTool (48 inch) with Digital Module a year ago, I could not do without it. It works great as a standard level (has the standard glass bubbles that are very accurate.) It works better to measure slopes or record slopes (you can hold a slope without looking at it, take it off the slope and read the stored slope). The audible is very sensitive, at times frustrating, because it so accurate. It will not "beep" until you are at and holding 0.00 degrees. We have dropped it, left it the rain, submersed it in mud at footings . . . while the manufacturer does not recommend this. To restore it to it's normal operation, the worst we had to do was replace the 9 volt battery and/or recalibrate the level (directions are simple and included).Also consider adding to your toolbox (in addition, not instead of this tool) an INCLOMATIC 680 by Checkpoint Professional. This is a small 6 inch level that is a must for your tool belt with a built in laser. The accessory kit allows you to split the laser beam, project perfect 90 degree angles or create a laser plane. It would not be a good substitute for the SmartTool with Module since it must be read up close and lacks the bubbles.

Fair weather friend
By Dewit Yerselfer
Works great as long as the temperature is above 40 degrees Ferenheit. Once it gets below that you'll be forced to use the bubbles or you'll spend your day fighting this thing to get a consistent reading. (now I know why they put the bubbles in).
Evidently those who rate this item high work in a mild climate. I don't.
Lately the unit doesn't even want to calibrate in the vertical direction so I can't even use it above 40 degrees.
Unfortunately I'll be sending it in for warrenty repair.
When it works, it's nice. (Emphasis is on when it works.)

By A Customer
This is a fantastic tool and a treat to have in the shop. I've found that as a standard level it is very accurate - then when using in digital mode it is terrific. The display is very easy to read and shuts off automatically when you forget about that duty. Calibration is easy and straight forward. I originally purchased this for some rigging on an airplane but now it has found its way into my regular shop life. I'm now purchasing an additional Smarttool module to use in those hard to access areas. Treat yourself to this tool. TA
