KAPRO… Continuing to Innovate!
995 Vulcan Professional Box Level
The New Generation
Once again, Kapro’s innovation and design team has bridged the price/quality gap with the 995 Vulcan™ – the new generation.
The Vulcan™ has all the innovative features that our customers have come to expect and that professional contractors rely on at a price that works for everyone.
Starting with the level’s body, we built the 995 to be strong with a reinforced aluminum casing with two finely milled surfaces and one V-Groove for easy placement on pipes and curved surfaces.
To protect the level, we added rubber shockproof end caps for superior impact absorption.
The level’s large handle aperture is comfortable for larger hands and still has a comfortable soft-feel touch with an Ergonomic bi-material grip.
The 995 is also available with rare-earth magnets for hands-free leveling.
The 995 Vulcan™ is equipped with 3 epoxy locked solid acrylic vials and vial housings, including Kapro’s patented Plumb Site® Dual-View™ vialwhichprovidesthe clearest direct view of the vertical vial without the need to twist or bend your neck for side viewing.
The horizontal vial is magnified for a clear view of the bubble between the reading lines.
All of the level’s vials are guaranteed to have an accuracy of ± 0.5 mm/m at level and in all plumb positions and come with a lifetime warranty.
The 995 Vulcan™ is the new generation in professional box levels – innovative features at the right price.
985D Digiman® Digital Level – Now with Laser Pointer
Combining the best of traditional level design with extreme digital accuracy…
The 985D Digiman® level is a strong and versatile level for measuring every angle from level to plumb.
The Digiman® incorporates all the exclusive features of the best-selling 985 Apollo™ professional box level in a rugged digital model for slope measuring with the extreme accuracy of 0.1º level and plumb and 0.2º all other angles.
It features Kapro’s patented Plumb Site® Dual-View™ vial. Plumb Site® offers the traditional side view of the horizontal vial and the unique front view making it easier to read, eliminates neck and eye strain and improves accuracy.
The Digital component features a Memory function for storing up to 9 measurements with a HOLD option for keeping the measurements on the display screen. The MODE function can be set for readouts in degrees, percentage or pitch and an audible “buzzer” is sounded when you find level or plumb. The backlit LCD display is tilted for easy viewing and the readout display flips when the level is inverted.
You can use the recalibration function to set a false zero for gradient and slope measuring.
The 985D Digiman® has a reinforced aluminum box section profile that will not twist or bend, guaranteeing an accurate leveling surface and straight marking line. It is equipped with shockproof end caps that protect the level from knocks and falls and is available with strong rare-earth magnets for hands-free measuring.
For measuring slopes in relation to distant points, the Digiman® features a laser pointer that is projected from the end of the level. The laser has a working range of 100’ (30m).
The 985D Digiman® comes in an attractive package with an open view of the digital display and horizontal vial and its primary features shown on the box face. A custom carrying bag is included.
