There is a special rail slide and Laserline detector bracket that lets the laser detector travel the full working length of the rod.
This allows faster and easier readings because it takes the awkwardness out of having to loosen the detector, move the detector, then tighten the detector for each reading.
Made of high strength clear anodized aluminum for lightweight, rugged, dependable operation.
They will not rust, split, splinter, swell or warp in any environment.

How Direct Reading/True Elevation Grade Rods work:
Direct Reading, or True Elevation (also known as Lenker style) is a Grade Rod with a moveable tape face allowing you to set the actual benchmark elevation, or any elevation, above or below the bench into the rod.
The actual true elevation above sea level is read on these rods, thus eliminating errors caused by adding or subtracting.
Since no math is involved, grade shots are much faster than conventional style rods.
On most jobsites, the bench elevation is typically established by survey, and all elevations on that project are above that or below primary bench elevation.
