3.0 out of 5 stars A slope indicator that is not truly level, May 3, 2008

This level tool does not indicate a true zero degrees on a level surface. If you need a true level tool buy a bubble level and test it before leaving the store.

This Pitch locator is acceptable for my purpose. I use it when making photographs of paintings where I need the slope angle of the painting to match the slope angle of camera's sensor. The readings need to be the same and the fact that the tool does give a true zero is not significant in this usage.

This thing is accurate, not very durable. Later I found better products at my local hardware store for the same price. I thought I was getting a deal...prices on these measuring devices has dropped. Check out your hardware store or Home Depot.

I was not able to find this product at Lowe's, Sears, Kmart, Walmart nor Sam's, Home Depot nor Northern Tool and Equiptment (I did not check Kelly's) and probably other places I don't remember now. I know some of these stores carry it in other cities but this tool was not to be found in Miami. And it is exactly what I needed. It measures the slope as a measure of degrees or as rise over run. I found plenty of protractors or similar devices in degrees. But I wanted to take a picture that would show rise over run. As far as I know this is the only tool for that and in Miami, FL, Amazon.com is the easiest way to get it.
