- I have been lookin at these for a while and even played with one!!!
- As far as I know there are/were three versions of this item all made
- by the same manufacturer:
- #1 Removable module with a set of Teak rails. $150+++
- #2 Removable module with a set of aluminim rails. $80~
- #3 Fixed module in aluminum rail with limited function. $60~
-
- I haven't seen any ads. for #1 recently so it may not be available any more,
- Bridge City tools did cary it.
- #2 Is currently available from a number of sources, the cheapest I have seen
- is TrendLines, Module with 2' rail and case for about $100 including shipping.
- #3 The price is so near to #2 that with the limited functions and not being
- able to remove the module to use as a small "bubble" level I don't think it is
- worth considering (NB. That is my opinion!!!)
