Selected User Reviews For SOLA GO! Smart Digital Pocket Level with Bluetooth, Magnetic
This is an excellent mini-level. I use it for a variety of tasks, but the small size makes it especially useful for the most inane of tasks: ensuring that all of the pictures in my home and office are level. Simply take out this small level, place it in the middle of the frame, and you're ready to go. There's no need to rush down to the basement or garage to get a long level. It's all here, in percentages, inches, and millimeters. br>br>It's also capable of handling more complicated tasks. We were building an addition to a house several years ago and needed to ensure that the ridge board for the new gable was level. You can either have someone with a level stand up there and yell at you as you shim (or cut) at one end of the ridge, or you can use this little device's Bluetooth communication with its own app on your phone to tell you how far off level you are. br>br>This thing is really cool and can be used in a million different ways. It's a pretty cool little gadget. While I prefer to use a laser level for some tasks, this is a simple solution. and-not- A dirty way to complete a level without having to bother with getting the laser out. And, of course, it can frequently take the place of a bubble level. br>br>The one disadvantage of this unit's small size is that if you're measuring something that's warped, you might not notice it because the contact surface is so small, and you could make a significant error. As a result, I don't believe this is intended for use in a mission-critical situation. Long measurements are critical, but it's fantastic for so many other things.
The screen illuminates, making it ideal for use in dim or dark environments. Its measurements are extremely sensitive and precise to one decimal space, and can be read in degrees, %, in/ft, or mm/m. It's certainly more accurate than what I can read or say on my traditional level with a bubble to indicate how far off I am. It's also nice to confirm zero if you're a perfectionist. 0 vs. a bubble's visual center. br>br>One of the biggest benefits is that you can zero-in on a number of variables. If you want to measure against an uneven plane, like making something the same angle relative to something else, you can set the baseline by holding a button. You can zero it out at the reference point level instead of knowing you want it off a certain measurement, and it will give you the /-. in relation to that So 0. Again, 0 could indicate a perfect level, but only in relation to the baseline you've established. When you turn it off and then back on, the baseline is reset. The only negative I can think of is that the button text is a little small, making it difficult to read "hold" and "mode," while the power icon is obvious. br>br>It takes any AA battery, but it also comes with one in the box, which is nice. Because there are only three buttons, you'll be able to figure out what they do quickly and the unit will fit in your pocket. The mode indicator on the screen is also quite small, but this isn't a major issue. The actual measurement difference up or down is large and clear, which is something you want to be able to see easily.
Go, Sola, Go! I've never used a level with as many features as Digital. It can get vertical levels (useful for setting posts or making sure that things go in 90 degrees from the ground, or even when held against the side of a picture frame to get the frame level), horizontal levels (useful for making sure that cabinets, tabletops, picture frames, or whatever else you want horizontal – or at a particular angle – will be exactly horizontal), and it can also measure on the z-axis. axis (useful for things like adjusting the cutting angle of a saw blade or other work that necessitates a specific slant). The z- In the product description, the ability is referred to as an inclinometer. br>This device has Bluetooth, so you can display exact angles on your phone, tablet, or other device to which you've paired it, in addition to just showing you the angles and helping you get a level. This is useful if you can't see the level's display – which happens from time to time when the level is out of reach or the screen is difficult to see. br>The device's app allows you to view and record data as well as see the angles detected by the meter. This level appeals to me a lot. It's more expensive than other digital levels, and it lacks a laser beam for projecting level marks, but it's extremely useful for providing measurements that few other levels can, as well as reading and saving values detected by the level. br>I'm sure it will come in handy in the future for me. br>Please let Amazon know if you found this review helpful.
