5.0 out of 5 stars A great transit at a good price................, January 4, 2007

By	Happy Shopper (Greenville, SC) - See all my reviews

After reading a review made by a user of the CST Berger transit, I decided to try this new DeWalt one. I am very well pleased. Only having been able to find the level version, I decided to order it from Amazon.

From my experience, this is a very useful tool, especially for basic surveying and leveling. I have tried laser tools of this sort and have been disappointed.

Recently, I used this transit to do a site survey for installing a satellite TV system in a heavily wooded area. Since the transit does not include a magnetic compass, I placed a Silva plate compass on the top of the telescope, while level. Fortunately, there were no iron or steel close enough to affect the compass and to keep it from seeking magnetic north. Having done this, I easily set the base plate to true north. Using the vertical transit and azmuth feature, I knew exactly where to place the satellite mounting pole for the best clearances between the trees.

Quality of construction, smoothness of movement and fit is quite good for an inexpensive transit.

3.0 out of 5 stars Basic Level. Very BasicTransit, May 12, 2007

By	A. Nolan (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very poor instruction sheet.
Quality of the instrument is good for basic leveling, fair for turning rough angles. Horizontal markings make it accurate to +/- 1 degree, larger than that on the veritcal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good Quality-Simple to use, May 31, 2009

By	Robert S. Digh (North Carolina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This simple instrument is of very good quality and simple to use if you know a little about rudimentary surveying and it's principles. I have found that reviews dealing with many different types of instruments for sale to the public, are given less than stellar reviews because they are simply expecting the equipment to do something that requires a small bit of background know how for it's use, that the buyer does not have. Often the equipment is blamed for problems that the user does not know how to address.
So, great piece of simple surveying equipment for a small price when compared to state of the art GPS surveying instruments and will do a proper job when used with proper surveying knowledge and background. If you don't have the background and are not willing to learn, just pay a pro to do it and be done.
