Re: Funky Level


Easy to read, that's for sure.
Very accurate?
That's not liquid but a ball of some sort correct?

Yes, some kind of floating ball.

Re: Funky Level


Saw it at Blowes today also. Didn't quite know what to think of it. It won't replace my Stabila collection or my plumb bob anytime soon.

Re: Funky Level


Saw one at Lowes a couple of days ago. Might try one out the next time I need a new level. Seems like it would be easier to read in low light when it's hard to see the edges of a bubble and the lines on the vial.

Re: Funky Level


What I saw on the informercial was the "bubble" seemed to float a little to easily and it looked like it could take a while for it to settle to a complete stop.

I have a few angle guage things, easier than a framing square and a level.

Re: Funky Level


I have a smart level which gives a digital readout to a 1/10 degree. But 1/10 degree is too much play for plumb or level so I just use it for angle measurements. Plus I have a Wixey angle measurer for my TS that will do the same thing. Same accuracy only in a 2" sq package
