It'll get you close, but an 8' level will be much more precise.
The "strap" is nothing more than a rubber band that can be easily replaced or lengthened as needed.
This has been in my possession for over ten years, and the rubber band has finally given way. I used a small (6") bungee cord to replace it. It functions as if it were designed specifically for it.
Yes. This unit can be used to keep virtually any size or material post level or plumb during installation as long as the edges and surface are flat and uniform.

This came in handy when I was constructing my purgola. It was no problem strapping to 6x6 posts. It was a breeze to level them out. It's a useful little tool for $6 if you're working on a medium to large project that includes any posts in particular. I also secured it to the cross beams with straps. I would strongly suggest it.
My post-graduate level, which I had for many years, finally'retired'! It was no longer useful because two of the three bubble vials had broken/leaked. As a result, I placed an order for it. My previous one was the same exact design and size as this one, which I bought years ago! The only difference is that this one is bright orange and is manufactured in China, whereas my previous level was manufactured in the United States and came with a lifetime warranty! However, because I was unable to locate the manufacturer, the lifetime warranty was rendered useless. With this post-level purchase, there was no mention of any warranty of any kind. When used in conjunction with a straight level I had, the bubbles (3) show level. Both levels showed level at the same time; the rubber band appears to be sturdy enough and can be easily replaced with a short bungee cord if it wears out or breaks; the level is made of sturdy plastic. The frame of the level in my previous post never cracked or broke. I'm hoping it's the same plastic, but it appears to be quite sturdy. It makes me happy! Simple to work with!.
You can check using the two bubbles. I volunteer with a group that constructs wheelchair ramps. We have a lot of 4x4 posts to set up, and this is the perfect tool for the job. You can check plumb in two directions without moving the tool by using the two bubbles. After the first job, others bought them, so we usually have a couple in use at any given time. I haven't used the third bubble for level yet. br>br>The only reason for the 5th star deduction is that the rubber band appears to be on its way out; It's been around 20 years since it was first used. So far, I've done it 30 times. I'll be on the lookout for the right size, and I'll keep a few in my toolbox. Perhaps the manufacturer should include at least one spare in the box or use a more durable band.
I recently constructed an 80-foot-long fence to surround our yard. This entailed embedding vinyl and wood posts every 8 feet in concrete, as well as the installation of two gates and an arbor. I bought two different types of post levels, the cheapest of which was a Johnson Level and Tool 175-. GloOrange Post Level is a term used to describe a group of people who work together to Despite the fact that they were both necessary for leveling the 17 fence posts, the Johnson level was easier to secure in place and is as durable as the more expensive brand, making it the best value for the job. This book comes highly recommended.
So, as suggested, I bought this along with a few other random tools. It's not bad at all; it's simple and practical. It, like the majority of these tools, is inexpensive. I paid around $4 and got it for $2 with 20% off coupon at HF for $2 with 20% off coupon at HF for $2 with 20% off coupon at HF for But, hey, it's not like it's the end of the world. It's a fantastic little device that gets the job done. I have no complaints because it fulfills the purpose for which it was created. My rating is based solely on the fact that I was able to find it for a lower price elsewhere.
When I was constructing my pergola, I used this to level 4x4s. It proved to be very beneficial. Previously, leveling them required two people and some time. I was able to complete this task on my own with the help of this tool, and it was a success. My only complaint is that it appears that 4x4s is the largest it will wrap around with an external clamp. br>br>I even dropped it a couple of times and the acrylic bubble remained intact. br>br>My only criticism is that it appears that 4x4s is the largest it will wrap around with an external clamp. br>br>Overall, I'll use this a lot to level wood and build things.
For my pole barn, I purchased this to set 6" x 6" x 16' posts. Because the rubber band broke on the third post, I believe it was designed for 4" x 4" posts. I simply replaced it with several household rubber bands tied together and it worked fine. Just keep in mind that this isn't the most precise level for creating large or long posts. After all, it's only about 6 inches long, so you're basically leveling that much post. I used it to set the post and get it roughly in the right place, then finished the job with a 4' level for more precision. If you're setting deck posts or other items that only protrude a few feet from the ground, it'll suffice; however, for taller posts, you'll need to use a more precise level. However, using this level at first did help, so I would recommend it. For the money, this is a good buy.
This level was used to create 49 posts. I used my Stabila level to check all three bubbles, as I was skeptical because it is made of plastic. The post-level bubbles were within my Stabila's specifications. Using the supplied rubber band to secure the level to the post allows you to use your hands for other aspects of the post-setting process. If you need to put up any posts, we'll be well worth the money.
