AdirPro 16-Foot Aluminum Grade Rod - 10ths, Dual Sided 5-Section Telescopic Leveling Rod – Bubble Level and Soft Carrying Case Included

Excellent pour utilisation modérée

Excellent product. Very easy to use. Very high quality.

This is a well made rod and at a very reasonable price. Once I got my head around the "bottom up" markings on the back of the rod, double checked them, and began to trust that method, the rod became extremely useful, especially for one man working. The tenths of a foot rod when I purchased, was significantly less expensive, which is the reason I chose it. Only took a couple mental "face palms" to remind myself that "those aren't inches!". After that, I found decimal feet much easier to work with. The fit and finish of the rod is very good, it's nice that it came with an extra locking clip and a small bubble level. The carry bag is very light duty, but it does have a pouch for the extra clip and level. I suspect I will never use the bag. Overall, I feel it was a great purchase. If I need another, longer grade rod in the future, I will be checking AdirPro's offerings first.

I used the AdirPro 16-Foot Aluminum Grade Rod for staking out elevations and checking grades on a residential landscaping and deck project. I liked that it extends smoothly to a full 16 ft, has crisp, easy-to-read graduation markings (both feet/inches), and feels sturdy yet light great for carrying between points.

The 16' foot stadia rod we purchased, is of much better quality than our other shorter stadia rods, and is designed perfectly for field work, with very smooth sliding even when dirt gets on the rod segments. We use it with a self leveling, leverling laser, to obtain elevations in our study area, which is quick and easy with this rod, even over areas with high topographic relief. We have been able to obtain elevation accuracy to within 1/8 of an inch. Plus it comes in a nice storage "bag", to protect it when not being used. Our other stadia rods were too short to conduct these elevation measurements on sites where there is high topographic relief, and when we need to cross elevated roads where culverts are located under the road to obtain the inlet invert elevation and the outlet invert elevation. It is the nicest stadia rod we have ever purchased.
