Hi art, About the best recommendation I can make is the Stabila. The down side is the damn things are a bit pricey. The other thing is they are not very loud so if you are working in a noisy environment or like me your hearing is shot it may be a problem. They provide you with two accurate readings, level and vertical. I hear tell there is a way to program a specific angle into the unit so that it will beep at some pre determined setting but I haven't figured that one out yet.

Thanks for many good ideas and laughs! I am undertaking a masonry project in the next few days, and need to use a level to get things right. Most times this wouldn't be a problem, as my wife is sighted, and can usually be enticed to help out. This time I will be going it alone, and didn't think it was going to be so difficult to find an audible level. I am totally blind, and knew that some of the home centers sold one a year or two ago. Surprise! They don't carry them anymore! I have googled and found a couple that would fit the bill, and read through the archives on this list (see message below) and read about a couple here that I was considering. Does anyone have a recommendation? I know that Sears had one a while ago, but they don't seem to carry it anymore either. I need to obtain it in the next few days, and would like to keep the cost down if possible. Thanks for your help and advice!
