Mason’s A-frame level
48 €
The A-frame level is the ancestor of our spirit level. Working by gravity, it shows whether a stone, a piece of timber or a wall is level and plumb.
It consists of a string fixed at the top of the frame with a plumb bob at its end. A notch is marked in the middle of the wooden frame.
When the level is set on the work, the plumb line must hang exactly in front of the notch for the surface to be perfectly horizontal.
This versatile tool serves as both a level and a square.
Sizes from 50 to 120 cm.
