Finding the Elevation of a Zip Line Using a Hand Level
A hand level is perhaps one of the handiest tools found in any builder’s or surveyor’s toolbox. Because of its straightforward, pocket-sized design, this tool is pretty easy to use, store, and carry. Users can simply reach for it, look through its telescope, and have a rough estimate of a distance or level in no time. While hand levels are commonly used by surveyors and contractors, many hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts also prefer to be equipped with this tool. That’s how easy a hand level is to use.
Although a hand level isn’t nearly as accurate as other precision instruments, it’s enough to do the job of finding an elevation—just like what this video shows. This video explains how to establish the slope of a zip line using only a target, a handy tape measure, and a hand level.
Hand Levels
Since time is of the essence in construction projects, not all measurements or levels need to be precise. At times, professionals can get approximations instead of accurate results to simply check if surfaces or objects are perfectly leveled. Rough leveling or estimating levels and distances is usually applicable to DIY projects, fencing, or laying bricks, and the ideal tool for this is a hand level. Also known as a hand sight level, this pocket-sized tool may seem like a monocular at first glance, but it has every feature needed for leveling. Hand levels consist of an objective lens and an integrated bubble level—the basic components needed to check levels and measurements. Compared to other leveling instruments that need to be mounted on tripods, these levels do not take up that much time, if at all, when setting them up. As a matter of fact, you simply have to look through the eyepiece of the hand level and center the bubble, and you'll be all set to read the level or measurements. To easily focus the sight, the hand levels for sale on Engineer Warehouse feature stadia lines as well as lenses and adjustable eyepieces that can be slid.
