  • Satisfied. Calibration instructions are wrong.
Style: Johnson Level 40-6517
I agree with others that the build quality is a little weak, especially the tripod. But it does get the job done. And the grading rod is a bit cumbersome to use; the plastic brackets at each segment interfere with the receiver mount. I've checked calibration and found that one axis was slightly off. Not enough to matter for my applications, but not within tolerance. I'll try calibration now that I know the correct tools to use. So I called for customer support with calibration. The manual says to use a flat-headed screwdriver, which is incorrect. The calibration screws are rather deeply buried inside the housing and very difficult to see. The customer service reps responded in a timely manner and let me know that a) I wasn't the first person to call about this, and b) I'll need a (long handled) 3mm hex driver instead of a flatheaded screwdriver. Other than that, it works fine! It is what it is for the lowest-cost option on the market. Just calibrate your expectations accordingly. ... show more

  • Cheap parts
Style: Johnson Level 99-026K
It’s a nice set up for small projects, it’s nice having the case for everything but the detector is cheaply made and the grade rod does not like to stay extended which has messed up some of my grade when working on a project

  • Cheap but effective
Style: Johnson Level 40-6517
Works great for what it is. The tripod is super cheap and fragile. The receiver is also very cheap plastic, almost toy like. The transmission lazer is pretty robust but you have to remove the battery's every time after use or it will just beep constantly. The case is also very thin and soft. It gets the job done but it's very cheaply made and I would not recommend it for professional work. If I were to buy another, I would definitely spend the extra $$ and get a professional grade lazer. ... show more
