Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I do not normally write reviews of products but I'll tell you this level has changed my mind. I had been looking for about a week for a level to do some work around my place. Putting an addition on my house and a new deck, etc. I was not sure of what to expect for $160 price point. I figured I could always send it back if I was not happy. I had done some reading and found out that CST/Berger had quality transits and levels. I am a cabinetmaker by trade and a do it yourselfer for all other construction projects around our place. So I did not want to spend alot of money. I'd been to Home Depot and Lowes to check out what they had and for any decent transit and or level I was going to spend a minimum of $199 upwards to $399. And the units I saw looked cheap. They may have worked fine but I was hoping for a little more quality. Then I came upon this level while browsing Amazon. This is not a transit only a level but it would work fine for my needs so I ordered the unit. I chose overnight shipping for only $3.99 as a Prime Member and it arrived on time the next day. The surprise came though when I opened the unit. It was securely packaged in a nice black case for easy carrying to any job site. I pulled out the level and lo and behold the unit was made from cast metal. Not just hard plastic. The quality was clearly evident in this unit. Inside was an Inspection card called "Automatic Level Inspection Checklist" which was hand dated and ID by a factory inspector. This card detailed all the calibrations which were performed on the unit before it was sent to me. This gave me an extra measure of confidence that the unit was going to perform up to specs. I had already purchased the CST/Berger Tripod 5/8 X 11 and the Surveyor/Builders Measuring Rod, together they were around $120 from Home Depot. I attached the level to the tripod. I am not pulling your leg now! It took me 3 minutes to get the unit leveled and this included setting up the tripod. Believe me it was simple and easy. It has a horizontal bubble level which you use to get the unit close to level. However it does not need to be exactly level because the unit has a gravity compensator which compensates for any variation off level. Thus the term "Automatic Level". You get it close to level and the level will do the rest. The optics are clear and it has a 26X scope on it. This really is an awesome level. You will not be disappointed. This CST/Berger professional quality contractors level is at a price point where the average consumer can afford it.
