Question for Wixey owners

Post by reible »

Hi,

After all the "news" about these gauges over the past year or so I was thinking maybe I should put one on my "Christmas list". After watching some of the demos and discussions I noticed no one ever mentioned if they can do an "absolute zero" like a typical level can. I know they do the "relative zero" as that is how it shown to work.

{I guess you understand the difference but in case it is not clear... when you hange a shelf you need it level as in from absolute zero, or like a pipe that you need to slope, it has to be from absolute zero they can not be relative.}

OK don't worry about responding to this question.....

I just spend a fair amount of time reading reviews of this and the Beall. Now all I have to do is decided which would be better for me.... and darn wouldn't you know it they are both on sale.... maybe waiting for Christmas isn't such a good idea if I can scape up the money now.
