If you are a do it yourselfer and need a sight level for shooting grades,leveling fence layouts and layouts for drop ceilings and other basic operations this is the tool for you! Don't spend extra money on fancier levels when all you need is a reliable true level which this is. CST/Berger makes quality levels.

This is just a simple instrument used for the establishment of elevations only. You can't, or shouldn't try, to turn angles or lay out building lines with it. This is not a transit, the sight tube does not tilt, and no degree markings are on the base plate. That said, the level itself is all metal and is pretty hefty and solidly built. The design seems a bit crude with the vial hanging exposed and unprotected beneath the sight tube and held by two spring loaded set screws.
Out of the box, the instrument was out of adjustment. The bubble vial was not parallel to the sight tube and would always swing to the eyepiece side when rotated 180 degrees.
Berger included instructions for correcting this, but the wrench to adjust the setscrew was missing from my kit. It takes a 7/64" allen wrench, which luckily I had.
The tripod will probably be fine for occasional use around my home, but I don't feel that the plastic latches will be very durable in the long run.
