Kapro - 440 Lightweight Line Level - Features Vivid Vial and Line Attachment Hooks - With V-Groove and Pocket Clip - Durable Aluminum Shell - For Landscaping, Paving, and Construction
<div class="aplus"><p>The Kapro 440 line level is a spirit level with a single level vial that clips to a string for making level measurements over a distance in building, landscaping, and other applications, and a V-shaped groove in the base that provides reliable seating when leveling round items such as pipe, conduit, and shafts. The vial is made of injection-molded acrylic to resist breakage and has a sensitivity of 0.001"/inch. The level has a clip for attaching to a pocket and has plastic body that is light weight and impact resistant. Levels are used in the building trades, engineering, surveying, and metalworking, among other applications.</p><p> Levels are instruments that are used to determine the true horizontal or vertical plane of a surface. The most common type of level is the spirit level, or bubble level. Spirit levels have a liquid-filled, bowed tube (also called a vial) with a bubble that moves when slight adjustments are made to the level. When the bubble settles between marked points on the vial, it indicates that a surface is horizontally or vertically straight. Levels can have one or more vials to determine the horizontal plane, the vertical plane, or various points between, such as a 45-degree angle, simultaneously. Some levels include a laser line indicator that projects a horizontal or vertical beam on a surface. Bullseye levels, or surface levels, are circular, flat-bottomed spirit levels that determine whether a surface plane is level. Machinists’ levels are made of metal and have surfaces designed specifically for rugged use in a machine shop or tool room. Levels can range from highly-complex and accurate machines, such as those used in the surveying and construction industry, to precision instruments used in carpentry and other building trades, to simple, pocket-sized devices for do-it-yourself projects.</p><p>Kapro manufactures spirit levels, laser levels, layout tools, and measuring tools. The company, founded in Israel in 1974, meets International Organization of Standardization (ISO) standards 9001, 14001, and SA8000.</p></div>
