Amazon.com Product Description

Welcome to the versatile world of SmartTool. Most levels only give you information at level (0 degrees) and plumb (90 degrees) using bubbles you have to work to center visually between two lines.  You can do that with SmartTool, too, but the SmartTool also lets you measure digitally, electronically, and with an actual number, at every angle, all 360 degrees of a complete circle.  So installing a deck, stair rail, extending a roof or determining how much an old floor has sagged is simpler, less time consuming, and more accurate.

SmartTool is simple to use. Just press the on/off button and SmartTool will show you the angle of any surface with decimal-point accuracy.  The display even flips over with the level so SmartTool always reads right side up And it shuts off automatically after 6 minutes when it’s not being used, all this from a standard, 9-volt battery. And, SmartTool can take abuse other levels can’t, because its components are made of high strength materials and you can reset it to factory accuracy with the touch of a button.

Many versatile options
If you can imagine times you’d like to have both a small digital torpedo level and a longer level, the SmartTool Module fills the need.  The SmartTool Module can be used as a stand alone level or it can be placed in the optional American I-beam level in lengths of 24 inches, 48 inches or 96 inches. M-D’s top-quality red aluminum I-beam levels have been assured of excellence among construction professionals for more than three-quarters of a century. Easily attached or removed using only a screwdriver or coin, the versatility of this product can be appreciated in almost any application. The simple, SmartTool patented field calibration procedure can be performed using one button, any reasonably level surface, and just a couple of minutes. When used with the optional magnetic bracket, the SmartTool Module will stay on saw blades, metal pipes, buildings, machinery or anything made of iron or steel allowing hands free measurement.

Simple to use
SmartTool permits you to find level and plumb in two ways.  For quick references, use the sensitive bubble vials. For highly precise work, use the digital display on the Sensor Module.  It provides accuracy to 1/10 of a degree. But the real advantage of the SmartTool is that it also reads all the other angles bubble vials don’t.  So when you are not dealing with level or plumb, SmartTool quickly tells what the angle is and what the angle needs to be.  And only SmartTool allows you to measure angles three different ways: degrees, percent slope, and pitch (rise over run).

Read in Degrees
Set saw blade angles to a fraction of degree accuracy with SmartTool.  Assure there is no gap when you join 2 cuts together with .1 degree accuracy. You can easily duplicate a stair angle for setting handrails and never again will you be measuring top and bottom to make sure stair treads and rails are parallel.

Percent Slope and Pitch
In the percent slope mode the SmartTool allows you to read angles to meet requirements for sewer connections, ADA ramps, and grading. And showing compliance is merely a matter of pointing to the display. SmartTool also gives you roof pitch readings — in inches of rise per foot of run — right on the display. No two-handed measurements, no conversion calculations, and no mistakes.

Listen and Level Audio Feature
Have tasks where you really can’t see the SmartTool but need instant feedback?  Then turn on the audio beeper.  When turned on with a single button, SmartTool lets you hear when your task is at level or plumb.  This can be great when shimming projects, leveling buildings, pool tables or other projects where you need immediate feedback but are not in a position to see the display. This can leave your hands free to adjust, nail, or screw the project in place when you hear the beep telling you it is where you want it.

Hold
The hold button makes it easy to measure in areas where the digital display is not visible.  Take the measurement, push the hold button, and then bring the SmartTool in front of you to see your reading.

    M-D Building Products 92346 SmartTool Module Only has been rated 3 starsMD Smart Tool for Trail Work

    The MD Smart tool is good for determining the grade of a slope where one is considering a road or trail. It is not very useful as a level or clinometer as it has no way to tell when you are holding it on the specified grade. For that purpose get an Abney or Clinometer.

    It is fast and has a hold setting that retains the setting.

    The on off switch is not protected so it is easy to turn the thing on when you do not want it turned on, thereby burning batteries. Some sort of lock mechanism or a harder to turn on switch would help this situation.

    M-D Building Products 92346 SmartTool Module Only has been rated 5 starsGreat product

    This is a slope indicator for measuring the slope of surfaces. It is accurate and easy to use. I used it to measure the required slope of some ADA handicap ramps that must not be too steep.

    M-D Building Products 92346 SmartTool Module Only has been rated 5 starsGood for astronomy

    This product is good for those who want to set circles manually with altitude. (You have to a computer/palm with up-to-the minute altitude/azmimuth data to do this.)

    In my testing when mounted to my dobsonian telescope, the angle of the object is dead-on in a 0.8-degree FOV eyepiece! (+/- 0.1 degree error!!!)

    Since it’s water-resistant and can handle lower temperatures, this can handle observing in tough environments.

    This is a wonderful product not only for home-improvement products, but astronomy!

    M-D Building Products 92346 SmartTool Module Only has been rated 4 starsLove it!

    I have the 2ft framing version of this level, and I bought this to fit tighter spaces. It’s a great product. I would have given it 5 stars if it were a little bit smaller.

    M-D Building Products 92346 SmartTool Module Only has been rated 5 starsWe use them in our factory

    I work in a furniture factory. Between the Smart Tool and the Bosch Protractor, we measure all angles digitally now. Quality and precision are way up. I bet we have 20 of them in the factory now. Tool and fixture makers, engineers and quality control all use them. Why be pretty close when you can be right on.
