Picked one up last week. Its a great value because it includes the
set up bases that allow it to be leveled very easily. Both a tripod
socket and a wall mount base. I tried it in my 14 by 22' shop (strong
window light) and it was easy to see the level line everywhere. It
takes a bit to get it leveled but so does every other level for me,
except a water tube level. I haven't tried it in bright sunlight as
its been raining forever around here, but they also included some
"laser glasses". Its range is about 30 feet so its a home and shop
level not a surveyor's instrument.

accuracy = +/- 1/4" in 30'. While I think it's a good deal for $40 (or
whatever it is), a water level is cheaper and more accurate and I don't mind
it sitting in a box to be used twice a year..
Good luck
Rob

show up better. WONDERFUL for under-the-house projects.

Don't buy it. They are not bright enough to be seen outside. They do not
send a single beam around to the different locations, they split one beam,
which makes it too faint to see, even inside with the lights on, even from
only 25 feet or so.
