I just took it outside, and it's a windy day here and I can hear it just fine. When it hits level it gives a continuous sound too, so that makes it more distinctive. This level is only about a foot long. I can't say how accuracy is compared with a long level, but it seems to me to be very precise at the point that the beep sounds.

Can you give me the model number and or a link to look it up? Thanks again, Tom _____ From: Tom Hodges [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2008 7:42 AM To: 'blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com' Subject: RE: [SPAM]RE: [BlindHandyMan] I need some level advice Tom, Are the beeps on the Zircon very loud? I have a 10 inch and a 4 foot Sears digital level and I use them inside only and can barely hear the beeps. If I were outside, I don't believe I would be able to hear them at all. Someone early in this thread mentioned the same problem with the Stabila. So please let me know if the Zircon is loud because I'm not very happy with the ones I have because of the loudness.

It does have a video display, but also beeps when level or plumb. After I put a raised dot on the on off button, it works well.

Thanks for many good ideas and laughs! I am undertaking a masonry project in the next few days, and need to use a level to get things right. Most times this wouldn't be a problem, as my wife is sighted, and can usually be enticed to help out. This time I will be going it alone, and didn't think it was going to be so difficult to find an audible level. I am totally blind, and knew that some of the home centers sold one a year or two ago. Surprise! They don't carry them anymore! I have googled and found a couple that would fit the bill, and read through the archives on this list (see message below) and read about a couple here that I was considering. Does anyone have a recommendation? I know that Sears had one a while ago, but they don't seem to carry it anymore either. I need to obtain it in the next few days, and would like to keep the cost down if possible. Thanks for your help and advice!
