5.0 out of 5 stars Works great for me, quality tool, accurate right out of the box., February 16, 2010

I am a former contractor, and have owned a couple automatic levels over the years. This one worked fine right out of the box. I did the check to make sure it was calibrated properly, and it was accurate to within less than 1/16" which is quite adequate to any work that any carpenter is going to do.

The only negative comment I have is with the locking levers on the included tripod. While the legs have never slipped on me, I'm a little worried the mechanism standing up over the long haul. The rest of the tripod looks like a quality build, but the leg locks are plastic, and look like they could break fairly easily.

Overall, I would say this is a good product at a very good price. If you compare it to what Home Depot is selling, you will see that this is a better deal. Nikon has bright, clear optics, and with proper care, this instrument will last many years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Killer Accuracy, fantastic!, June 19, 2009

I noticed the comments about the guy with the tripod issue and can't beleive he even worried about it. The accuracy is the Nikon Auto Level not the tripod? I have had other Automatic Levels and this is absolutely the best as far as accuracy and super clear optics. You can't go wrong.

I bought this auto level package for my boy friend. He is a carpenter and told me Nikon was the best. He got it and loves it.
The tripod says Spectra but all tripods are made by the same company.
We did some research and Nikon and Spectra do NOT make tripods.
All we know if the tripod that comes with this pacakge is high quality like the Nikon level.
Thanks Amazon for helping me make my "beau" happy.
