The Sokkia Magnifying Abney Level with Stadia is a useful tool in angle measurement of distant objects. Unlike ordinary abney levels, it features a 5x magnification and comes with a stadia ratio of 1 to 100. Surveyors, contractors, and excavators will find this convenient to use with its eyepiece and objective lens that slides out to focus on the crosshairs, bubble, and target.
With a vernier reading of ten minutes, The Sokkia magnifying abney level measures in degrees and percentages on a stationary arc. These are both applicable in both directions at 0 to 90° and 0 to 100%, respectively. Its friction movements and thumb screw locks create smooth adjustments making it easy to use. It is also durably crafted and designed for years of use with a flat base, brass tube, and aluminum arc with an enamel finished 7-3/4" barrel that extends to 8-5/8".
Measuring existing grades with the 1 x 3-3/4" flat base, the Sokkia level is a handheld device that you can bring at any site. A carrying case comes with the device with a belt loop and Velcro closure for added protection.
