This is a fairly pedestrian item as survey equipment goes. No frills or fanciness. But for the builder or small-time contractor, it does what it claims, does it well, and is affordable. The instrument is accurate in gimmick-free fashion. I'm most impressed with the high quality of the level itself. The optics are very clear and can be focused from beyond the limits of accuracy to pretty darn close-up. The leveling system is machined brass, solid and effective. The stadia rod, though a bit short at eight feet, is well made of extruded aluminum, and is perfect for an average building site. A taller rod would be desirable in order to work effectively in hilly terrain. The tripod, though in some places constucted of cheaper materials (to keep the package affordable), is still solid and reliable.

I have a consumer-grade laser level that I'll probably only use rarely now that I have the real thing.
