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. It measures the slope as a measure of degrees or as rise over run. And it is exactly what I needed. 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 know some of these stores carry it in other cities but this tool was not to be found in Miami. I found plenty of protractors or similar devices in degrees.
I'm very happy. Amazon got this hard to find item to me very quick. In fact I ordered 2.
This tool is so easy to use, just place it on the roof and read the slope. I am so glad that I was able to get one delivered to my home through Amazon.com. Thank you Amazon. 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. It is so handy that I can't believe that no stores in the Houston area close to me carry it. You can even take a very good reading from the ground without getting on the roof.
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. Very easy to use. I used it in conjunction with a laser and finished the job in no time at all.
It would make a great scientific Christmas gift for kids. This is a great little tool, and it's dirt cheap. It's cheap enough to be a stocking stuffer.
