Hi,
Has anyone tried the Stabila 360 scaffolders level? developed by a scaff (me) for the scaffs.
I went over to Stabila in Germany and worked with them to develop a level that could set the ladder exactly at 75 degrees - the cantilever pick up at no more than 35 degrees - set the pitch of a roof (No more string or ski slopes) - set the line for offset bridge pillars or rig flares - ramps - tube and fitt stair rails etc etc you get the message.
Stabila milled the base so it sits smack on the top/side of the tube first time so you get an accurate reading line first time every time. They inserted the pure earth magnets which grip 5 times stronger than the norm.
Stabila were not too keen to help me until I said I was going to take the idea to a competitor THEN my phone started ringing. I also told them that the level was ideal for fitters in the Oil and gas industry and this seemed to do the trick as the model is sold to the black trades as well.
You can buy the levels for about £34 in the uk now but they will last longer as you do not drop it. (I used it myself for two years when I went back on the tools and never dropped it once. The extra vial gives you something to grab out the frog as well although it takes a minute to break in the frog.
Not pitching for sales here - I just solved a problem I had on my site - steep/shallow ladders and cantilevers that were out of spek.
Stabila gave me 50 of the new levels for my efforts, I only have two left as I gave them all away. Once Stabila were on board they were excellent, just a pity I was pre-business and green on product development at the time or I could have made a few bob.
