With the Stabila the beeps morf from a pulse tone to a sustained tone at level. Not sure at what angle from level the tones begin.

I have never seen one but I am a little curious. I have a ball/channel device I bought from RNIB when I was a student over there in the late '60s only about 8 inches long and probably a little too accurate but it does work pretty well for laying block or bricks. I would really like a light weight string level though for landscaping. I think Dan Rossie has a water level which might be made to serve for that as well. When laying out a masonry wall a tight masonry string line is a valuable tool but getting one right is a challenge and you want to be able to verify it occasionally. ----- Original Message ----- From: Max Robinson To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, October 10, 2008 4:22 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] I need some level advice If you walk into Sears and ask for an audible level they won't know what you are talking about. They have two digital levels that read out the angle on an LCD. There is a button you can push that turns on a beeper. It beeps at zero and 90 degrees. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.
