Johnson Level Tool 1886-0000 Digital Angle Locator

Product Description

The JOHNSON LEVEL TOOL 1886-0000 is a plastic magnetic digital protractor and angle locator designed for precise angle measurement in trade and construction applications. The unit features an automatic LCD backlight for visibility in low-light conditions and automatic digit inversion for accurate overhead readings. Measurement accuracy is plus or minus 0.1 degrees at 0 and 90 degrees, and plus or minus 0.2 degrees across the full working range. The magnetic base allows hands-free positioning on ferrous surfaces during layout and alignment tasks. Angle display is in degrees, with both absolute and relative measurement modes available. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors use this tool for ductwork angles, pipe pitch, conduit bends, and structural layout.

The 1886-0000 is suited for residential and light commercial jobsite use wherever accurate angle measurement is required. Common applications include setting duct slope, verifying pipe grade, checking conduit angles, and confirming surface level or pitch. The working temperature range of 32 degrees F to 122 degrees F makes it appropriate for use in mechanical rooms, attics, and outdoor environments within that range. Both absolute and relative modes allow technicians to zero the display against a reference surface and measure deviation directly, which speeds up repetitive layout work.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose digital angle locator suitable for use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and other trade professionals requiring portable angle measurement on ferrous and non-ferrous surfaces.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this handheld measurement tool. Ensure the contact surface is clean and free of debris before placing the magnetic base to avoid false readings. When used on energized electrical panels or live equipment, follow applicable NFPA 70E arc flash and shock hazard precautions. The included battery should be installed per the instruction manual before first use.
