A templating device for preparing beams includes a rod that has opposed ends, each of which is both slidably engageable and fixedly engageable to a first segment of a respective protractor of a pair of protractors, such that the first segment extends linearly from the rod. The first segment is pivotally engaged to a second segment, which is selectively fixably positionable relative to the first segment. The rod and the first segments are positioned between a pair of surfaces, with each second segment positioned flush to a respective surface. A user fixes the second segment relative to the first segment to provide a respective angle measurement and a length measurement between the surfaces, and then templates these measurements onto a beam. The user then can cut the beam to length, with the ends of the beam angled so that the beam fits between the pair of surfaces.

A leveling rod attachment including a first telescopic assembly, a second telescopic assembly and a clamper assembly is disclosed herein. The first telescopic assembly includes vertical rods being slidably connected one to each other. Each of the vertical rods has measurement indicia. The second telescopic assembly includes horizontal rods being slidably connected one to each other. Each of the horizontal rods has measurement indicia. One of the horizontal rods has a bubble level mounted thereon. the clamper assembly includes a clamper and latches. The clamper is attached to the second telescopic assembly. The damper slidably mounts the second telescopic assembly to the first telescopic assembly. The latches secure length of the first telescopic assembly and length of the second telescopic assembly.

A device includes a ruler, a leveling device attached to the ruler and a plurality of pins. The device only requires one person to hang level pictures, paintings, frames and other wall hanging objects. The ruler is a made from a rigid material and has a plurality of holes therein where the pins are inserted. The ruler has a fixed length or has a telescopic structure. The plurality of holes formed in the ruler are spaced apart from one another and the spacing is uniform or variable spacing. The leveling device is a bubble leveler including three bubble levels where one bubble level is horizontally positioned, another bubble level is vertically positioned, and the third bubble level has an angle relative to the horizontally positioned bubble level. The plurality of pins include a threaded pointed screw with a knob attached to one end of the screw.

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.
