Even though you don't know the difference between a transit a level and a rotary laser the manufacturer does and you can read so it's not ignorance you are anass

I'm a retired carpenter. We used transits for so many different things. Besides grading, we used them to build decks. To determine the length of our posts we'd shoot the top of the ledger and the top of the post base bracket on top of the piers. A little simple math and we could cut every post and the beam notches before we stood them up. When installing kitchens in old houses we'd use a transit to establish level lines on the walls so we could shim and trim the cabinets to account for the sloping floors. We also used a transit when hanging suspended ceilings to get a level line for the wall angles. And on and on. Transits are just about the handiest layout tool you can have.

I've been wanting one of these for a few years now ...anybody owe me any money on here?

[@timcrosby4651]

I walk around with the grade stick and a can of orange paint and make a mark that says up 2 or down 4 or whatever the stick reads and do that all over the pad or work area. Then you can see it from the operator seat and know where to shave or fill. That’s the easiest way when working alone.

Just ordered one the other day. Amazon Black Friday sale Cdn$390 (=US$277). I've always wanted one. Hopefully it'll be delivered safely this week. Thanks for the video.

Good morning Brock. I personally have always wondered how these Lazer transits worked. I've seen them used a hundred times but never asked exactly how it functions. Usually it was when someone was working so I didn't want to bother them. Thank you for another great educational video. God bless and have a wonderful day. And, God bless America!!

[@Ted_E_Bear]

I really do enjoy watching your videos ! You are versatile in your knowledge of how to do things ! Keep bringing on this type of videos !

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks

[@heidiwheeler9917]

Loved learning this! Thank you!

[@3c-adventures]

Thank you. Great information, plain and simple!!

[@ronaldharmon9891]

I've seen you as well as LetsDig18 and wondered EXACTLY how it works. Wake up learn 1 thing and the day is worthwhile, thanks BROCK👍

[@patrickcorbett8361]

Hey Brock , this old electrician has been on a lot of construction sites, and I've seen guys using these "Mystery Sticks" for years....now I know how the " Magic " works ! Lol Thanks...it was very informative. pc

[@2SanityAtitsBest2]

There is a creative way of attaching the receiver to the tractor so you don’t have to get in and out and can still use the transit level while driving the tractor. I’ve seen this done but not done it myself.

[@Gzus]

This was definitely very helpful and confirmed that I understood how these work without ever using one before. Thank you for taking the time to explain this in such a concise manner!

[@PeterGrace2013]

Thank you, Brock. This is exactly the kind of explanation I was looking for.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Glad to help

[@eddierock84]

Hey Brock have you thought about mounting the receiver on the boom of your skid loader. As you grade. Thanks again for the info. Regards Ed

[@dustdevl1043]

I've only seen these used in videos, thanks for the explanation Brock!

[@jmac6242]

Trying to decide which brand is budget friendly and work for us. Your video was a great help. Thank You!

[@BradMyers]

I like the KISS method of explanations. Thanks for sharing.

[@co1838]

Thanks ! Quick, simple and easy to understand.

[@bhall7997]

Homeowner here I bought mine last year amazon it was $700.00 with tax. I like the case to yours it also holds the tripod and grade stick 😀 Laser is so handy over optical its a 1 man operation :)

[@Steelviper61]

09/27/2024 Just checked the Lowes website. Its now $699.98 + tax. I guess its holding strong.

[@dannybond5205]

Thanks for your information today and thanks again, it helped me out a lot

[@foonus406]

A lesson in shop without the teacher losing any fingers... Intriguing!

[@SkylineAcresVA]

Very informative video Brock! Ive always wanted one and the next project I have a need for one I'm going to pull the trigger

[@jimmerrithew453]

Thanks for this explanation.

[@Lmberjosh]

Thanks for this! Very informative!

[@mattd8411]

Awesome video buddy thanks. Just got 1 have no clue on them lol.

[@busman46]

Thanks, I been wondering how they work.

[@jeremyj612]

Nice video Brock. I bought the he Johnson version in late 2021. It’s a little less expensive, I think I paid between $400-$500 at the time. I definitely like your receiver better. Only complaint with mine is how sensitive the receiver is. It’s impossible to find perfect level. Always a hair high or a hair low. I might give your receiver a try and see how it does.

[@marvindiamonjr.9631]

I could use one of those! I'm enlarging my parking area so I have room to turn trailers around. Something like that would be great to allow me to grade properly for drainage. There you go again, costing me money! 🤣

[@terryowens6101]

Thank you!

[@danielvillatoro5228]

Saludos buen video gracias x la explicasion

[@ooohyeahnachoman]

thank you, good video

[@noroomforgloom]

Thanks

[@markschmidt5036]

Can you set slope or percentage of slope for drainage on the Bosch???

[@bigsway4414]

I drove through Prior the morning you were there headed to a family reunion. Really wanted to stop. My wife said no way. We had a 3 hour drive headed to LeFlore. It sucked. I assume you are talking about Mike Morgan keeping people off his lawn?

[@michaeltorres3231]

Hey Brock I might be mistaken but you said you were a 1/4 of an inch high. Doesn't that mean you have to go 1/4 below? Instead of higher? Thanks.

[@OldIronAcres]

Great Video Brock. I've wondered about these a lot, but they're just so expensive (IMO). I was wondering if anyone out there has bought a Bosch Head (The Beeping Sensor) if it would work with a construction laser level?? Those are much cheaper (like $40-50).... but I know they wouldn't shoot 1,000 yards.

[@raymondpalacios3032]

I appreciate your video, but I'm still lost. I received my bosche 900 which has the remote. The case is not as nice as yours bc it does hold the tripod nor the stick. I'll be playing with it today. We will see. Thanks again.

Hi we are making a Farm pond and I bought this transit level exactly. I have an elevation high point of 74.00 from a Topo survey. My pond bottom needs to be 52.00. Can you give me a suggestion, how you would set it up for this excavation?

[@psidvicious]

First, establish your ‘master bench mark’. You said the top was +74.00. Transfer that elevation to something that will not move, like a nail in a tree or a mark on a wall or anything permanent. Since 74.00 is likely dirt grade, it may not be convenient to get your master bench mark right at grade. Just measure up another foot or 2, to where you can put a nail or a mark, up out of the dirt and easy to reference. The easiest way to do this would be to use stakes and string line. You didn’t give the pond dimensions but just drive as many stakes, around the pond shape, as needed, a few feet outside of the digging area. Mark a known elevation on the stakes, using your laser level (for example +75.00. That way it’s 1 foot above the dirt grade). Then run a tight string line from stake to stake, right at your marks. Than you’ll know your line is level, at a known elevation. Just measure down from the string to the desired depth (+75.00 minus 23.00 equals +52.00, or bottom of finished pond depth.) Once you’ve dug down 6 or 8 feet, it will be easier to set some more stakes, lower down into the excavation, so you don’t have so much tape to deal with. (A couple sketches would make this easier to explain and understand.)

[@frijoli9579]

What is the accuracy per ft, or 100ft?

[@benmccallum8974]

I have one similar to this model. It says 1/8in per 100 ft away.

[@George-pg2ii]

Misinformation is not cool. An optical level or a laser level is a great tool to check level in a horizontal plane. A transit will measure vertical angles. A great job demonstrating the laser level 👍

[@davidbruce5377]

My new GRL 900 is not turning on. Fresh batteries and for some reason - it won't turn on If anybody out there has a solution let me know. I cant easily return it due to my location

[@toddcaskey9984]

Your lip is level to the level 🤪

[@bigsway4414]

Who is the KZbinr you’re talking about that wants to stop his interaction with viewers?

[@abunchofhooplah7908]

This is a line laser not a transit level.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I addressed that in the video

[@jimmerrithew453]

Thanks for this explanation.
