The installation of the H. Stab is a pretty critical piece of the whole constuction project and there is little room for error. I'd like to get it installed absolutely straight and level. There are a whole lot of laser levelers available at reasonable cost. Are these tools as accurate as thay claim to be? I'm thinking they have got to be easier to use than a water level? Are they? Would a transit be something I should consider? Any other hints and tips on how to get a perfectly level installation will also be appreciated. Thanks, Doug
