Hand Levels
Hand Levels can be a great tool for use by professionals and consumers. They are a very practical and low cost tool with a wide variety of uses. They were first created when someone thought of attaching a spirit level to a telescope. Once the instrument is level, the user looks through the telescope to compare different points against the same reference point. It is used for rough leveling and not designed for precision work. Sometimes Professional Land Surveyors or Grading Contractors will use a Hand Level to get an idea or estimation of level instead of taking the time to set up a tripod with a leveling instrument. Internal stadia markings assist the user in determining the distances. Land Surveyors and Land Development Professionals use Hand Levels and Sight Levels as they are ideal for preliminary survey and simple distance estimation. Hand levels are ideal for laying lawns, paving, brick-laying, creating retaining walls, grading and excavation work, shed and pergola construction, fencing and numerous other home DIY projects.
