Milwaukee 83038 Vari-pitch Line Level

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORP 83038 is a standard vari-pitch line level designed for accurate level and pitch readings on job sites. The unit features a vari-pitch vial that reads from level to 1/2 inch pitch in 1/8 inch increments, making it suitable for drainage, roofing, and framing layout work. Lightweight construction reduces line sag, which is a common source of error when using string-line leveling methods. The open hooks are unbendable, allowing the level to slide freely along a line without snagging or binding. A built-in pocket clip helps prevent the tool from being misplaced on the job.

This line level is intended for use by carpenters, framers, masons, and general contractors who need to establish grade or pitch across a horizontal span. It attaches directly to a string or chalk line and provides a quick visual reference for both plumb and pitched layout work. The vari-pitch function makes it especially useful in applications where a specific slope is required, such as drain lines, gutters, or sloped flatwork. Sold in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for crew supply or tool crib stocking.

Key Features

• Vari-pitch vial reads from level to 1/2 inch pitch in 1/8 inch increments
• Lightweight construction minimizes string line sag for more accurate readings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style string line level suitable for general construction and layout applications where a pitched or level reference line is required.

Installation Notes

Attach the level to a taut string or chalk line using the open hooks before taking a reading. Ensure the string is pulled tight to minimize sag independent of the level itself, as a slack line will produce inaccurate results regardless of vial position. No special tools are required for use. Store in a protective pouch or tool bag to prevent vial damage.
