Review on Johnson Level Tool Pitch Locator by Kevin Silver

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Precise but annoying in practice

As a claims adjuster, I use this inclinometer to determine the gradient or inclination of a roof surface. This number is the numerator of a fraction whose denominator is 12 or 12 inches or feet. I don't need "degrees" and since the degree measurement is at the top I have to turn it upside down to measure. Second, this tool is so light and has such a thin base that it cannot be used without holding it with one hand, the slightest breeze will knock it over and it will be difficult to photograph the field with a free hand. Display size and have continued to use it for that reason, but I would have preferred the tilt indicator to be up (ie above not below the center mark) rather than a wider, heavier base for unsupported roof stabilization.

Pros
  • Years of probationary period
Cons
  • Volume
