Abstract

A system for leveling and distance-measuring, the system including a housing, a self-leveling-laser fixed to the housing, an electronic-stud-finder also fixed to the housing, a distance-measurer having distance-measuring-circuitry, a display detachably coupled to the housing, and an audio-output including variable-frequency-output and variable-tone-output. The system for leveling and distance-measuring also includes at least one mode-selector-switch, configured to select a mode-of-operation of the system from at least a leveling mode and a distance-measuring mode. The system is structured and arranged to determine level, plumb, measure distances, locate studs embedded within walls, and measure a width of the studs.
