Review on πŸ“ Digi Pas DWL280PRO: The Ultimate Waterproof Digital Protractor for Accurate Measurements by Dean Ledet

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Revan is back in business!

The first one I ordered didn't work. Actually, it was two different things. The main problem was that the electronics were "wound up". Even after calibration, when the device was horizontal and giving me a reading of "0.00", when I cycled it showed a ridiculous number, say 16.73Β°. In addition, the horizontal dragonfly has been shifted by almost a degree. However, I really wanted this digital level to work because it had all the features I was looking for. Waterproof, selectable display, etc. So I called Revain for a replacement, which arrived two days later. This works perfectly and the spirit level is also just right. I'd probably live with a bad level on the first unit - if it were electronic, but luckily the replacement unit is good. Note that they made the same unit as this one, but with an accuracy of less than 0.1 degrees full scale. , I would buy it even if it were a bit more expensive, but with 0.05 degrees of accuracy at zero and 0.2 degrees of full scale, I'm not complaining. What will do. My original project for this level was to help install the drainage lines. A sufficiently accurate digital level is absolutely necessary for this. And after using a friend's digital spirit level, which has the LCD not tipping over when it's upside down - wow, what a pain. This will make the job much, much easier. Notice I'm crawling under a house in Florida where there's less than 2 feet of clearance. Trying to get into a position where you can read a digital level that does NOT have the bright LED display that this unit has and reading by turning the page is incredibly difficult. This level will be awesome! Also, I've checked the readings carefully when you set the display to "in/ft" and the calculations are accurate. Of course, the real credit goes to Revain with their A-to-Z Guarantee. Revan is back in business! Needless to say, without Revain this product would not have been 5 stars! I have to assume that "x" percent of these devices are bad. So if you're willing to work hard and swap out a device if it doesn't suit you. This is a great level and Revain makes everything work. Revain essentially acts as the quality control department for Digi-Pas. It is clear that Digi-Pas' quality control department needs to work together. On the other hand, they REALLY designed a great digital level. Photo: #1 The Digi-Pas DWL280PRO has a bright, easy-to-read LED display. An arrow indicates whether the left side is high or low.#2 Numbers are crisp, clear and bright - ideal for low light areas#3 You can choose to display degrees in inches/ft, mm/m or % grade convert#4 Bubble graph levels are perfect #5 When the level is upside down, for example at the bottom of a pipe, the display is "flipped" so it can be read easily.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
