The Montgomery Level Company Introduces a New and Improved Level That Measures Slope

CHARLESTON, SC (March 2, 2009) — The Montgomery Level Company (MLC) is  launching the first slope level incorporating an arced vial into a standard level indicating pitch and degree in non electric or mechanical means. Matthew Montgomery’s US patented level also incorporates a uniquely engineered, state of the art fluid which helps keep expansion and contraction to a minimum for a more accurate reading of the slope. The highly accurate slope level improved upon an 80 year-old invention, combining plum, level, and slope indicators in one easy to use mechanical tool.

In the 1920s, Henry Ziemann the founder of Empire Level, invented the modern level with a single vial. Since then, there has been no major improvements to the conventional level until Matthew Montgomery of the Montgomery Level Company engineered a new arced vial which allows any professional or homeowner with minimal skills to calculate the slope of an angle, making construction or home-improvement jobs faster and more accurate. The new generation slope level simply gives the angle in seconds. The slope levels are calibrated, waterproof and affordable. The company offers 16”, 24”, 32” and 48” slope levels ranging in price from $24.99 to $59.95.

“I have always experimented with better and simpler ways to accomplish complicated construction tasks.  Over the years working in the construction industry, I realized there had to be a better and safer way to calculate slope without having to use the old “rise over run” method, which takes both hands or two people and requires math skills,” says Matthew Montgomery, who has been in the building industry for over 30 years. As many great inventions, the Montgomery Slope Level is a product of one man’s frustration with inaccurate yet expensive tools. A solution to his frustrations was a simple arced vial and specially engineered fluid that can withstand very high and low temperatures. After months of diligent research and testing and investing his life-long savings to achieve his goals, the final product is a tool with high accuracy and durability that is affordable and simple to use.

MLC is a level company founded to develop, manufacture and market the first Mechanical Slope Level. The Company has developed breakthrough technological advancement in levels which will enable a better and safer way to calculate slope without having to use the rise over run method which takes both hands or two people and requires math skills. The Montgomery Level is available for sale at Homedepot.com, Amazon.com and many other online retailers. The Montgomery Level Company is located in North Charleston, SC.
