- I've owned the Pro SmartLevel for about 6 months and love it. Using
- my precision ground engineering square to test it's accuracy leads
- me to believe it really is accurate to 1/10 of a degree. Doing side
- by side tests with my old bubble level was also illuminating. Using
- the bubble level I could consistently do no better than plus or minus
- one/half degree from level. This translates to a trifle less than a
- 1/8 inch vertical rise per horizontal foot. Not bad perhaps, but
- might be a problem, for example, when installing base cabinets.
