Customer Reviews:

Completely destroys a bubble level [Posted on 2005-06-01]
After calibration, my Smart Tool has shown me just how inaccurate traditional bubble levels are. Keep in mind, in order to fully calibrate a smart tool you have to calibrate it in all eight positions. But that's a small price to pay for astounding accuracy!

Don't know why they sell these bundled with a traditional double-bubble level, but they do. You'll quickly learn to turn on the beeper, and never bother yourself with reading a bubble level again.

The only drawback to this device is that it's sometimes TOO sensitive. You have to let it settle for a few seconds before you can "trust" the reading, otherwise you might get a false reading 0.2 degress off either way. But once you know that, it's cake.

Valuable tool for 84 Lumber employee [Posted on 2007-01-05]
I am the sales manager for 84 Components in Mount Airy Maryland. I have 100 outside salesmen under me and 25 84 Lumber stores I am responsible for.

My guys and I are on multible job sites daily helping people determine what they need and this tool has proven to be well worth the money.

Speed squares and a regular level get's the job done but this saves me time when I have 4 additions to match to existing slopes and 300 miles to drive that day to get the jobs done.

Excellent Product [Posted on 2007-04-10]
This product was an excellent investment and the price on Amazon is absolutely the lowest around.

Module can't be used (easily) without the level [Posted on 2007-05-17]
Product works great but I was disappointed to find out that the module can't be removed from the level for use in smaller spaces. The battery is located in the end of the level with wires running to the module which doesn't have a back on it like it does when purchased as just the module.
