Digi Pas Machinist DWL1300XY Bluetooth NIST Traceable Review

I bought a DWL 1300 Digi-Pas driver level last March for a very unique use. The problem was that the heavy machine operator needed to know if the implement was level before going into the job, without having to repeatedly leave the cab to check if the implement was level. Our solution was to aim the Digi-Pas on a heavy piece of equipment as the Digi-Pas is Bluetooth enabled allowing the operator to stay in the cab and still be confident that the attachment is level and working properly.

I used this to level my kitchen floor and install drawer slides and it worked flawlessly. The Bluetooth connection proved handy for working in closets where I couldn't see the display. Since it's only 6 inches long, make sure it's on a flat (longer) base so you're not just reading local waves. The precision (0.01 degrees) can be insane, leaving the user to decide when to invoke something. "Level" and don't go crazy. However, this is a good problem. I thought a bubble level would be useful but…
