Land surveyors, developers, and excavators use a hand level to get a rough idea of where the grading is on a particular area. This type of sight level is great for doing preliminary land survey work and distance estimation, because it’s an easy way to come up with a “cut and fill” plan while grading a site for construction. It can also give you an easy way to determine if a specific area of land is generally level. If you’re looking for any type of hand-held sight level that you can use for your next project, feel free to look at what we have at Engineer Supply.
