 A Level is one tool that everyone is bound to need at one point or another. For many routine tasks, a standard "bubble" level is likely sufficient for your leveling needs. But if you're the type of person who uses a level a lot and needs to accurately measure angles, you'll need much more than an "ordinary" level.
The Stabila 196E series of digital Levels offers some great features and durability for a very affordable price. Click "read more" to find out more about the Toologics Tool of the Day for May 23rd, 2007!
The Stabila 196E series has some cool and unique features that set it far apart from all other levels. Take a look at this photo:
You'll
probably notice that the 196E looks a bit different from other levels.
It contains two standard bubble vials like a normal level, but also not
one, but TWO LCD screens that indicate level and angle. One LCD is
located on the level's side along with the control buttons and the
other LCD is intelligently integrated on the top of the level. If you
are measuring the slope of something on the ground, like a ramp, it's
easy to read the angle on the top display without having to get down on
your hands and needs to look at the side display.
The 196E's
display will measure degrees, percentage, mm/M (millimeters per Meter),
and inches per foot in either fractional or decimal values. You can
also set a "target" measurement-the level will audibly alert you with a
beep when the target is achieved.
It's accurate too! If you think
the level may be out of calibration, it can self-calibrate with a
single button press in less than seven seconds.
The side LCD
panel will also automatically "flip" it's display if the level is
placed upside-down. Useful if you place it wrong-the level corrects
itself so you don't have to!
As levels are often dropped, Stabila
has engineered them for maximum durability. Given the sensitive
electronic nature of the 196E series, the warranty is limited to one
year on the electronic portion. However, as with all Stabila levels,
the bubble vials are warrantied for life.
If you need to
accurately measure levels and angles, the Stabila 196E series is worth
a serious look. They are available in five sizes: 14", 24", 48", 59",
and 78".
The Stabila 196E Digital Level is available from Tool King and other quality tool retailers.
