It measures the slope as a measure of degrees or as rise over run. But I wanted to take a picture that would show rise over run. I was not able to find this product at Lowe's, Sears, Kmart, Walmart nor Sam's, Home Depot nor Northern Tool and Equiptment (I did not check Kelly's) and probably other places I don't remember now. I found plenty of protractors or similar devices in degrees. As far as I know this is the only tool for that and in Miami, FL, Amazon.com is the easiest way to get it. I know some of these stores carry it in other cities but this tool was not to be found in Miami. And it is exactly what I needed.
In fact I ordered 2. Amazon got this hard to find item to me very quick. I'm very happy.
This tool is so easy to use, just place it on the roof and read the slope. This is a very inexpensive but very useful meter for measuring a roof's slope in either degrees or rise/run relative to 12 inches. Thank you Amazon. You can even take a very good reading from the ground without getting on the roof. It is so handy that I can't believe that no stores in the Houston area close to me carry it. I am so glad that I was able to get one delivered to my home through Amazon.com.
I used it in conjunction with a laser and finished the job in no time at all. Very easy to use. I recently put in a new drain pipe and wanted to ensure I maintained proper slope over some very uneven ground, This tool made it very easy.
It's cheap enough to be a stocking stuffer. This is a great little tool, and it's dirt cheap. It would make a great scientific Christmas gift for kids.
