Contractor Hand Held Sight Level (Durable)

As advertised.

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.

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.

Maybe there’s a steep learning curve or something, I’ve never used one of these before, but it seems very difficult to see through. The level is accurate of course, but I have to squint so much and it’s so hard to see what’s across the way, it hasn’t been very useful.This brand was highly recommended, so I’m surprised, and wondering if it’s a knock off. the thing is tiny and feels pretty cheap. For the price they definitely could have made the lens larger so you can see enough out of it to get your bearings.

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.

Not the most accurate tool to determine level, but surprisingly informative. In bright daylight, it's quite easy to determine horizontal heights within an inch over a distance of 20 feet. I think, if I haven't had too much coffee, I could lay a horizontal line across 50 feet out and not be off by an inch. I can wear glasses while using, although seeing the reticle inside becomes more difficult for me.

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.)

The bubble seems to be a bit on the large size that makes it difficult to level. It is suitable for my needs and I liked the price. I am using this to find grade % for hanging tubing for maple sap collection so it will do. Would recommend.
