Level and level assembly
Detailed herein is a level device having a body having a first face, an opposing second face, and a perimeter extending between the first and second faces. The perimeter includes first, second, third, and fourth sides, where a first reference surface extends along the third side and a second reference surface extends along the fourth side orthogonal to the first reference surface. A third reference surface may be between the first and second reference surfaces disposed at a 45-degree angle relative to each of the first and second reference surfaces. A first bubble vial having a first longitudinal axis parallel to the first reference surface is received in a first recess defined along the first side, and a second bubble vial having a second longitudinal axis parallel to the second reference surface is received in a second recess defined along the second side.
Level for use with drills
A level that is attached to the drill bit. It is on a bar that allows the level to be offset from the drill bit so that it is visible by the operator. The bar has a bearing in it that allows the bit to spin freely while holding the level in a set position. The level has a ball that centers in a ring when it is level and plumb. To use the device, after it is installed in a drill, the operator adjusts the position of the drill until the ball is in the center of the ring. Then, the drill bit is plumb and the hold will be true. The operator merely has to watch the level and adjust the drill as needed to maintain plumb to ensure a true hole.

Extendible level with non-coplanar extension surface
A level apparatus is disclosed including a body with a slide channel, a slider coupled with the body via the slide channel to slide parallel with respect to the body to extend a length of the level apparatus, a planar base surface on a side of the body to allow the level apparatus to rest on a work surface the orientation of which is to be measured, and a non-coplanar contact member at an endcap of the slider to rest on the work surface when the slider is in an extended position, wherein a tip of the non-coplanar contact member resting on the work surface is coplanar with the planar base surface.

JIG OF SPIRIT LEVEL CLAMPING AID TOOLS, SQUARES AND HAND CLAMPS
One or more clamping aid tools for mounting to various squares and straight edges, including carpenter squares, framing squares, speed squares or the like, and various straight edges and rulers for easily and accurately positioning various objects, either flat and/or round, magnetic or not. The clamping aid tools can secure these squares and straight edges to various objects while they are being fitted, secured and/or welded together.
Leveling apparatus and methods of use thereof
The present invention relates to a leveling apparatus, methods of using the leveling apparatus, and kits that include the leveling apparatus. The leveling apparatus is useful in various applications, including, without limitation, those applications that involve positioning a planar object (e.g., a wall stencil) against a substantially vertical surface (e.g., a wall) at a desired angle relative to horizontal (e.g., relative to the floor or ceiling).

LEVEL
The invention pertains to a spirit level (10) comprising a base body (12) with a first measuring sole (52) and a runner element (14) with a second measuring sole (54), being connected to the latter and able to move relative to it in its longitudinal direction, wherein the first and the second measuring sole run at the same level. In order to accomplish a low-friction displacement, it is provided that a first sliding element (26) emerges from the base body (12), which interacts by form fitting with the runner element (14) for a section and applies force to it in or approximately in the normal direction of the measuring soles (52, 54), and a second sliding element (28) emerges from the runner, which interacts by form fitting with the base body for a section and applies force to the runner element in or approximately in the direction of the measuring soles.
