Johnson Level & Tool 1760-4800 Digital Box Level, 48", Orange, 1 Level

Great level for setting drainage slope

This is a well-made classic box level, with horizontal and vertical liquid vials that are easy to read. I wanted that. There's also a large electronic module with a big, illuminated lcd display: I wanted to try this. A few months in I don't look at the bubbles: the digital display is much easier to read, has got several modes, and audio feedback. It's a game changer: you can now think in a number of tenths if a degree away from flat, instead of "a bit off". The electronics auto-shutdown after 5 minutes, so batteries will last awhile. Johnson levels have a pedigree, and this one feels like it'll be going strong for a decade.

As a lead and QC controller for our firm this shows exactly if the forms or level or not. Then one concrete exposed recheck and record for submission.

Johnson level provides some of the best value for the money on the market. Their tools are precise. The screen on this level is easy to read and has audio cues if it's in a position that you can't see the screen. 48" is a good size for most applications.

Works great
