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

Brand?

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.

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.

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 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
