Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just don't forget to test it with the flip method.

I had to return the first one as it was not to specification and had varying levels of variation depending on the orientation I lay on the same surface. This means that if I had the level in one direction it would show one thing and if I put it end to end or upside down it would show differently when it should have shown the same thing in the vial.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Looks so pretty, but so inaccurate

I saw these in the store and really liked the anodizing on copper. Unfortunately the 5 foot I got on the Revain is 1/8 inch off the length (center bubble). Absolutely impossible. They should be accurate to within 0.029 degrees, so they shouldn't differ much. than 0.027 in five feet. The eighth inch is nearly five times the margin of error. This is the second tier I've ordered from Revain in the past few weeks that has been out (I actually got three good ones). The other was Starrett. It's not…

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
