Quickly measure any angle, level, or plumb with the KAPRO 985D

so you can see it's a 1.66 and we want to get it to one

so there you go so that'll work all right hey this is John R. DiStefano, Jr. with U Do It

KAPRO was kind enough to send me a 48 inch level

and we're going to unbox it now and go through some of the features

in the Box they included uh some swag a notepad

and a bag carrying case for the level itself

good in the carrying case there's a pouch that contains the instructions

and a battery says thank you for your purchase

if there's anything that makes you unhappy with your purchase please send us an email

and so we have a list of the products the capro provides

and it's the one I have right here the 985d Digimon

it's a professional magnetic digital little there's a zipper pouch here

it's covered with plastic all right protective plastic over the LCD screen and we're not good

ladies let's turn my light on here and it shows that you can see that that vialed air

yeah it's a cool stuff

super cool so let's take a look at the directions

before we do anything okay so this is the English side

the directions just thank you for purchasing a 95d digimon professional digital level you're now

the owner of one of the one of our Innovative state-of-the-art tools this tool incorporates

new men's micro-electrical and mechanical Systems Technology to achieve accurate results and reduce

work time all right so applications drywall projects briefly on framing jobs installing

stairs and banisters Lane pipe and drainage loops yeah it's cool I plan on using this for installing

a pad in the backyard behind my house where my grill and lawn mower will be stored so now on

these instructions it shows how to install the battery Okay so I did manage to get the battery

installed like that I think that's the proper way to install it getting it back into the level

really not that difficult I was making it more difficult than what it really is

in case there you go it is installed all right now let's go over the features here

and one of the things that I'm going to use this for is one percent grade for uh for a concrete

pad I'm going to put in the backyard so we'll switch to mode and percent and now we want to

calibrate to no I'm not calibrating it

so one percent grade is what we want to achieve

Okay so the beeping indicates that we've achieved a level

and I'm looking at the bubbles I'm looking at the one bubble and

it appears to be dead center okay so there's Direction arrows that appear to the left and

the right of the numbers and the direction error these are two direction errors on either side of

the LCD display they indicate which direction to move the Digimon for a level or Plumb measurement

all right so now we're level so now I want to switch to one degree or percent grade

all right so this is level now if you want to switch to percent grade

we'll lift this up

and we want to go to one percent grade which is like right about there

that's how we can hit the beep so it doesn't go off hit it again so it does and I'm looking

at my bubble and my bubble is indicating and it's pretty much Dead on there's a small amount

to the left more than the right and to change that I would have to lift this up just a little bit all

right so hey this is John with U Do It in this video we're going to use the k-pro level it's a 48 inch

level digital and we're going to try to get to one percent slope which I could which I could easily

um do with the Masons line and just taking some measurements and getting that line level and then

lifting it up a little bit but we're going to use this out in the wild you already saw

the unboxing so now we're actually going to put this to use out here and so we're going to turn

it on now we are on all right now we're going to set up our wood because what I plan on doing is

at some point doing a concrete pad back here so I can have everything looking nice

all right so I got some 2x6 Lumber here and I plan on having this pad sticking out a little bit

from the driveway here right about there is one percent so we can see what our slope needs to be

yeah so we just need to get it right on one percent close enough and that's going to be

perfect for water to shed off of it and then the step will be right there and I'll probably

put a drain in so I'll put a drain in there at the end of the concrete to let all the water

go away from there to the low spot which will be some place in the yard that way I hope

so you can see it's at 1.66 and we want to get it to one

it's really good so that'll work so then we get our board set up with our batter boards

and then that'll be how we uh help me get these boards set up and then we'll dig in

we'll dig in a little bit we'll put down some fabric put down crushed gravel

and then we'll do a concrete over top of it this will be a pad that's about the

10 foot by 10 foot so we're talking 100 square feet probably need like 80 bags

80 or 90 bags of 60 pound concrete so yeah good deal so that is the k-pro 48 inch level

really happy with this all right so now let's switch the mode you can see we're 0.9 degrees

and one percent is about 0.57 degrees

so right about there is one percent

between 0.5 and 0.6

so yeah this will be a this will be a fun project get that going

all right so we got a problem with our concrete floor in our garage

so our floor is not level it slopes downward and the problem with that is

when I close the garage door which I'll show you when I close the garage door

sitting the garage door is closing

so you can see they're just the typical New Jersey Gap so in Jersey we have a lot of settle in so

you can see that that Gap is there and that's something that I want to see that Gap right there

that's the New Jersey Gap you get that because our ground settles a lot

so you can see that's about an inch maybe inch and a half

and so you can see that that is about one and a half degrees

great ideally this would be level and then out here where the door closes

were similar very close you know 1.8 so you see right there that's one degree so that's

on the left side of the slope here is the apron to the garage floor

um you can see that's one degree but over here on this side

it was 1.8 degrees and it's also evident there with that cracking

and settling there so hey you know that's what we're dealing with

but I just wanted to show another application of this level what level is and it it also

gives you arrows that tells you what you need to do Direction wise to get it level

so you go that's a level right there so you can see that's a big difference there so basically

all this concrete would need to be knocked out which I'll probably do that that'll probably be

the thing I do before the pad and the Becker the backyard

not get all this concrete and put it in fresh level like it's supposed to be
