Abstract
A length selectable spirit level and measurement device for simultaneous measurement and leveling includes a first bar and a second bar. The first bar has a channel positioned therethrough, which extends between opposed ends thereof. A pair of slats positioned in the channel is slidably engaged to the first bar and thus selectively extensible therefrom. Respective indicia of a plurality of indicia coupled to the slats are alignable with a pair of points to measures a distance between the points. The second bar has a set of orifices positioned therethrough, each of which has a spirit bubble tube positioned therein and coupled to the second bar. The spirit bubble tube indicates an orientation of a longitudinal axis of the second bar relative to horizontal. The first bar is selectively engageable to the second bar so that the slats are selectively extensible in parallel with the longitudinal axis.
