Johnson Level & Tool 750 Pitch and Slope Locator - Product Review

Finding the pitch of a roof is easy!  Especially for those of us who have enough roof inspections under our belt to use our ankles as an impromptu pitch gage.  However, even the most experienced adjuster will need to carry a pitch gauge with them at all times; because most insurance companies and independent vendors require their adjusters to photograph the pitch of a roof (for billing purposes).  Others who have not had the luxury of growing up around general construction practices may have a difficult time determining a roof's pitch (especially if you don't know the math behind it).

The Johnson Level & Tool 750 Pitch and Slope Locator makes finding the pitch of a roof extremely simple! All you have to do is place the bottom of the pitch gauge on the roof, and it will display the roof's pitch for you!

The Johnson Level & Tool 750 Pitch and Slope Locator features a high impact plastic body and a crystal clear acrylic lens with easy to read graduations.  Personally, despite what the video above says, I have had an extremely hard time finding anything related to a roofing pitch locator at all of the local hardware stores.  Neither Lowes, Home Depot, Sears, Menards, Northern Tool and Equipment nor Sam's Club carry a pitch/slope locator in their stores.  The only place I have had any consistent luck finding one of these is on Amazon.com.  Currently there is nowhere else that sells this item for such a low/reasonable price!  It would behoove you to take advantage of this blog post and buy one right now before they run out of stock! This can be a very difficult item to locate and is essential to your adjuster arsenal!
