Happy to use Kapro!

Strong magnets for metal rods. I'm not exactly sure about this gum, but I will use it with an open mind. I'm used to holding on to screws, but just thinking about it, a person can screw up and drill the drill right into the plane! You never know, we've all had our ups and downs. Folded a little differently but I trust Kapro and will be happy to use it next week!

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • write later

A very handy little gadget to have at home.

I ordered this when my husband was installing our new mailbox and he was thankful he had it later when he fenced his backyard and built a shed again in his barn, almost everywhere. You want to be at the highest level. My brother-in-law saw this and had to get his own, so I think this is one of those times I got points for brownies with an extra purchase!

Pros
  • Still Happy
Cons
  • Older Model

not impressed with spirit levels

I have installed hundreds of fence posts around our property using an old post leveler that just broke after years of use. I could always check with a small torpedo level and was always up. I installed 4 rods with this Kapro 340-08D and double tested them with the same torpedo stage which I have used hundreds of times. All 4 posts were 1/4 blisters. I couldn't believe it so I checked again with the Capro and again with the Torpedo. Yes, everything is 1/4 of a bubble. Kapro 340-08D sent back.

Pros
  • Excellent overall
Cons
  • Doubtful

Poor design, doesn't push against the bar!

Whoever designed this obviously never used it. My posts are perfectly square as opposed to those with rounded edges. No matter how tightly you attach this to the stand, it will not fit on either side of the stand. I thought the folding feature would be good for storage but not worth it. I had to "open" it like attaching it to a post and then permanently tape it in the open position. It's hard to explain until you try. Would NOT buy again. It's useless until you glue it. TRUMP CARD! But thanks…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors are here

Don't stay in place.

Super disappointing. I have a couple of Kapro products as they are generally great quality but for wood it's just rubbish :/* could be great for steel due to the magnets but on a basic 4x4 it gets tight and doesn't hold shut to get around 90 degree grip. As you can see from the photos, the downside is the adjustable angle. No matter how lightly you pull the strap, the adjustable angle will open. The strap is made out of a cheap stretch fabric that is definitely starting to break with use. There

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Thin

Excellent level for installing fence posts

Excellent level for installing wooden fence posts. The spirit level can be easily attached to the stand with the supplied rubber band. I recently used this to install 15-10 foot poles along my driveway. At this level, you can check the front, back, and incline while focusing on adjusting the pose. I found this to be fairly close to the reading I got with the 2 foot level, with a few tweaks to align the bar line. I know there are several reviews from professional installers that say you can't…

Pros
  • Excellent option for a small house
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly

Innovative design creates more problems than it solves

As a professional deck builder I have tried every post level available on the market and had high hopes for this post level. The unique folding design eliminates the weakest point of the other posts (they all fold in half), but since it doesn't have a "lock" feature, the spirit level isn't very accurate. When you tighten the strap, the level will try to close and will not show plumb in any direction. failure This post tier includes an elastic band that is much better than the elastic that…

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • A few bugs
