A Smart Leveler is much faster to use, lighter to transport, and as accurate as a laser reading.
Lasers don’t work well in bright daylight, and you need a clear line of sight. In other words, it won’t work if you need to take a height reading behind a wall.
Yes, you can have readings in metric units.
All fluids and components are non-toxic and safe for consumer use.
DLS has units still in use after a decade of use in rough environments. One unit survived Katrina and was under brackish water for 6 weeks. After replacing a few screws it worked fine and was returned to service.
Works in temperature extremes. Does slow down a bit below freezing and is not recommended for use below zero Fahrenheit although several contractors do.
This will depend on your usage of course, but the battery typically lasts 6 months.
Accuracy is typically plus or minus 1/10 inch (2.5mm). This is near level or near a zero reading. The level loses some accuracy as the differential increases.
SmartLeveler is based on the concept of the water level. The basic principle is that water (and by extension, any fluid) is always level.
Minimal maintenance is required for newer models. Older models up to 2012 might need removing air bubbles or filling up the reservoir from time to time. For these models, check out the maintenance step-by-step tutorials.
