Has anyone used it? Is it accurate and, are the numbers helpful over using just a traditional bubble.

I have the exact same level and I love it. I do not know that it is any more accurate than a traditional bubble level-but at least it makes me think I am getting it almost perfect. It is a little tricky figuring out which side of the level is low or high judging by the electronic slope indicator.

The magnetic side on it is a nice feature.

The batteries "died" on me once just when I needed to get an accurate measurement for my new shed--so that is an inconvenience.

Overall I would say it is one of the best hand tools in my garage. A pleasure to use. Once in awhile the buttons get pushed accidentally and I have to figure out how to reset them to default. I have my son make all the adjustments.

Biggest advantage over a bubble level is you can measure any angle, not just horizontal and vertical. Yes you can do this with a bubble and a jig/protractor/etc but it doesn't compare. I have a 12" and that I use mostly for metal/auto work. Still go for the 24" or 48" bubble levels for construction.
