Description

Welcome to the versatile world of SmartTool. Most levels only give you information at level (0 degrees) and plumb (90 degrees) using bubbles you have to work to center visually between two lines. You can do that with SmartTool, too, but the SmartTool also lets you measure digitally, electronically, and with an actual number, at every angle, all 360 degrees of a complete circle. So installing a deck, stair rail, extending a roof or determining how much an old floor has sagged is simpler, less time consuming, and more accurate. SmartTool is simple to use. Just press the on/off button and SmartTool will show you the angle of any surface with decimal-point accuracy. The display even flips over with the level so SmartTool always reads right side up And it shuts off automatically after 6 minutes when it's not being used, all this from a standard, 9-volt battery. And, SmartTool can take abuse other levels can't, because its components are made of high strength materials and you can reset it to factory accuracy with the touch of a button. Many versatile options If you can imagine times you'd like to have both a small digital torpedo level and a longer level, the SmartTool Module fills the need. The SmartTool Module can be used as a stand alone level or it can be placed in the optional American I-beam level in lengths of 24 inches, 48 inches or 96 inches. M-D's top-quality red aluminum I-beam levels have been assured of excellence among construction professionals for more than three- quarters of a century. Easily attached or removed using only a screwdriver or coin, the versatility of this product can be appreciated in almost any application. The simple, SmartTool patented field calibration procedure can be performed using one button, any reasonably level surface, and just a couple of minutes. When used with the optional magnetic bracket, the SmartTool Module will stay on saw blades, metal pipes, buildings, machinery or anything made of iron or steel allowing hands free measurement. Simple to use SmartTool permits you to find level and plumb in two ways. For quick references, use the sensitive bubble vials. For highly precise work, use the digital display on the Sensor Module. It provides accuracy to 1/10 of a degree. But the real advantage of the SmartTool is that it also reads all the other angles bubble vials don't. So when you are not dealing with level or plumb, SmartTool quickly tells what the angle is and what the angle needs to be. And only SmartTool allows you to measure angles three different ways: degrees, percent slope, and pitch (rise over run).Read in Degrees Set saw blade angles to a fraction of degree accuracy with SmartTool. Assure there is no gap when you join 2 cuts together with .1 degree accuracy. You can easily duplicate a stair angle for setting handrails and never again will you be measuring top and bottom to make sure stair treads and rails are parallel. Percent Slope and Pitch In the percent slope mode the SmartTool allows you to read angles to meet requirements for sewer connections, ADA ramps, and grading. And showing compliance is merely a matter of pointing to the display. SmartTool also gives you roof pitch readings -- in inches of rise per foot of run -- right on the display. No two-handed measurements, no conversion calculations, and no mistakes. Listen and Level Audio Feature Have tasks where you really can't see the SmartTool but need instant feedback? Then turn on the audio beeper. When turned on with a single button, SmartTool lets you hear when your task is at level or plumb. This can be great when shimming projects, leveling buildings, pool tables or other projects where you need immediate feedback but are not in a position to see the display. This can leave your hands free to adjust, nail, or screw the project in place when you hear the beep telling you it is where you want it. Hold The hold button makes it easy to measure in areas where the digital display is not visible. Take the measurement, push the hold button, and then bring the SmartTool in front of you to see your reading. From the Manufacturer SmartTool electronic level all ready to go in a 2 foot long aluminum frame. This level can measure all angles in a 360 degree range. Installing a deck, stair rail, extending a roof, or determining how much an old floor has sagged is simpler and less time consuming. The display even flips over with the level, and it shuts off automatically after 5 minutes when it is not being used, all this from a standard, 9-volt battery. Features include angle accuracy to 1/10 of a degree, a mode button that lets you see angles in three different ways (degrees, percent slope, or pitch), and Listen & Level(tm) ideal for poorly lit areas. The SmartTool allows hands-free operation as the audible tone alerts you when tool reaches level or plumb. Uses one 9-volt battery, not included.

  • This instrument is like the 1st I bought years ago.
This M-D digital level is little different from one I bought years ago. Same M-D brand, same somewhat difficult recalibration sequence and, hopefully, the same longevity. My first M-D instrument lasted 8 -10 years until I could no longer successfully reset it. My 2nd lasted 12 years until it was stolen. I bought an Empire digital level 4 years ago, and it just recently died - JUNK. A novel-length review on Amazon comparing the Starrett offering ($300) versus the M-D ($110) rated them about equal. It was an easy choice. Although Amazon did not use ANY bubble wrap or other protective wrapping - my level was allowed to bounce around in a box - it arrived in good working order, and I hope to have it for years to come. ... show more

  • I bought this level in 2005
I bought this level for my son in law in 2005. He carries it in his work truck and uses it to check grade on roads they are building. The tool is still going strong. I also bought the 24" model for my self to carry in my van for checking roof angles and such. Still works great. I highly recommend this level. ... show more

  • This Level is a MUST HAVE for serious contractors
I am a general contractor and take pride in the precision that we perform layout and construction. Having purchased this SmartTool (48 inch) with Digital Module a year ago, I could not do without it. It works great as a standard level (has the standard glass bubbles that are very accurate.) It works better to measure slopes or record slopes (you can hold a slope without looking at it, take it off the slope and read the stored slope). The audible is very sensitive, at times frustrating, because it so accurate. It will not "beep" until you are at and holding 0.00 degrees. We have dropped it, left it the rain, submersed it in mud at footings . . . while the manufacturer does not recommend this. To restore it to it's normal operation, the worst we had to do was replace the 9 volt battery and/or recalibrate the level (directions are simple and included). Also consider adding to your toolbox (in addition, not instead of this tool) an INCLOMATIC 680 by Checkpoint Professional. This is a small 6 inch level that is a must for your tool belt with a built in laser. The accessory kit allows you to split the laser beam, project perfect 90 degree angles or create a laser plane. It would not be a good substitute for the SmartTool with Module since it must be read up close and lacks the bubbles. ... show more

  • better than guessing if it is level ?
this a a great product to get it level every time. as accurate as anything with NO guess work. It takes the worry out of any guess work . It is easy to calibrate and repeats every time. Impress your customers or yourself for a level sob from cabinets, doors, windows , floors , walls . It does the job. ... show more

  • Excellent Smart Level
I utilize this tool for checking cross slopes on top of hot mix asphalt to ensure that it is within highway specs. It can be used for many things such as checking grades on ADA ramps, sidewalks, concrete aprons, concrete ramps and a wide variety of uses in construction. There are many functions such as the inches per foot, percentage and degree settings that come in handy. The level is light weight but definitely sturdy. I only wish it had a light within the digital display...I have a level by another manufacturer that must have a built-in sensor that lights up the display whenever there's poor lighting both indoors and outdoors. This is an excellent value from this site especially when I saw the same one for a much higher price. ... show more

This is probably the best digital level out there but there are a couple of things that would make it better. Having a bubble at both ends would be good. The ability to modify the sensitivity level would be good. At the moment it reads to 0.1 degrees of accuracy which is not really required for many jobs. The ability to change this to 0.2 or even 0.5 degrees would make it much more usable. We dd fencing projects and do not need level of plumb accuracy to 0.1. ... show more

  • Handy tool for when you need your eyes in two places at once
The level is very well built; robust enough for commercial use. The auto-flip display is not a gimmick and very useful. I like the audible tone of "LEVEL" so you can focus on positioning your work and not needing to look at a display. I used it to map out sag on my home's wood spanners; very practical and made my job easy to accomplish. The read out of degrees, in/ft and % slope is versatile. The calibration is a little complex, so keep you instructions handy. I haven't needed to recalibrate it since the first time, but I had it less than 6 months...time and use will tell of its staying power. ... show more

  • Best level ever made
I had one of these levels years ago 10 years to be precise after a number of years of use the computer finally decided to sleep LOL I recently made it a mission of mine after trying many other levels to find another one and I am so glad I did buy one you’ll love it
