A laser equipped level assembly is provided including a linear member and a laser mounted on the linear member for emitting a beam of light therefrom. Also included is a pendulum for allowing the emission of the beam of light only when the linear member is level.
A slope block assembly having a bubble level with an eccentrically mounted slope block detachably carried on one end of the level. The slope block has an offset turning axis with a plurality of supporting surfaces, all located at different distances from the turning axis. The support surfaces cooperate with an undersurface or support point on the level to direct a laser beam at a desired angle with respect to a round or flat reference surface. Grooves are provided on the slope block support surfaces as well as on the level undersurface to support the level and slope block assembly on a round or curved reference surface.
A laser plumb includes a laser, and a mass that is rotatable about a spin axis to stabilize the laser. The mass is mounted to a support to be pivotable about at least one axis, and preferably two axes. The two axes are perpendicular to each other and the spin axis. The laser is mounted to the mass to maintain its orientation relative to the support, as the mass rotates about the spin axis. A weight below the tilt axes aligns the spin axis with the gravitational axis. Preferably, the mass and laser are mounted to the support by a gimballed mount. The plumb optionally includes markings on its base to measure a deflection of the laser from the support, thereby allowing measurement of the angle of inclination of a surface supporting the base.
A level system for accurately and efficiently providing a levelness measurement. The level system includes a container positionable within a frame structure for retaining a volume of liquid, a upper compartment within an upper portion of the container for retaining a buoyant member, a first paddle and a second paddle pivotally attached within the container about the buoyant member, and an indicator member attached to the paddles for indicating a levelness or plumbness of a structure. As the buoyant member moves within the upper compartment, the paddles move the indicator member accordingly.

A level comprises a frame defining first and second parallel channels and first and second rails fitted slidingly in the first and second channels respectively. The level is adjustable in length by sliding the rails in the respective channels of the frame.
A tool incorporating a device that generates a light line on a work surface such as a wall is disclosed. The device includes a housing containing a self-leveling pendulum assembly and a light source that directs a light beam along a pathway. A redirection assembly, also contained in the housing, is capable of altering the pathway of the light beam prior to exiting the housing. In use, the device selectively generates a light line on the work surface in a desired direction.
