There are now several out there, these I have also came from my Lee Valley wish
list.
They seem pretty good, I noticed today while routing, when the wood contacted
the bit they kicked in immediately but slowly came back. While running my belt
sander they didn't come back until I turned it off.
Oh sure,
I have used plumb bobs on and off for years, I lost my last one some time ago,

wanted to plumb something on my own, but always had to wait for someone to
come by to plumb it for me.I already know about the beeping level.
I got a couple of tools for Christmas, a pair of Japanese saws, I used one
already, a rather spectacular little hand saw. I also got a ratcheting hand
pruner, a rather fine plumb bob and a rather good sliding bevel. It uses a
thumb clamp to lock in the angle so you can operate it with one hand a

I would think that you would still see an improvement. I also noticed that
my cuts don't appear to have as many saw marks. I suspect that the vibration
actually transfers to the blade. There is another version of the power twist
