Northwest Instrument Tripods

Image
For more than two decades, Northwest Instrument has been manufacturing tools that surveyors, engineers, and contractors can always rely on. All of Northwest Instrument’s products, including its tripods , can basically be summed up in two words: efficiency and quality. Without a tripod, surveying instruments will not function as optimally as they are designed to. A substandard tripod, however, will do more harm than good. Mounting a surveying instrument on a low-quality tripod might lead to inaccurate results or even cause the instrument to fall and break. That’s why many professionals rely on top-quality tripods made by Northwest Instrument. The heads of these tripods come in two styles: dome head and flat head . In spite of their different styles, these heads feature a universal thread size of 5/8" x 11. This means that they can secure most surveying instruments, including Northwest Instrument’s theodolites , total stations , laser levels , transits, and automatic levels . ...

Hand Tools

Image
Before machinery and other advanced equipment were designed, people have relied on hand tools to accomplish different tasks. Hand tools pertain to any type of tool that can be used with one’s hands and does not require a motor or electric power. They are generally small and are often found in toolboxes of carpenters, construction workers, land surveyors, and homeowners. The earlier hand tools date back to the Stone Age, and their primary functions include hammering and cutting. As civilization progressed, so did the design and sturdiness of hand tools that were later made from bronze and iron during the Bronze Age and Iron Age respectively. Also, from being manually forged or molded by craftspeople, hand tools started to be manufactured by factories during the industrial period. This paved the way for different designs and types of hand tools, especially those made from steel and metal. Types and Uses of Hand Tools Hand tools can be categorized according to their type and pur...

Calculated Industries Wheel Master

Image
The measuring wheel has been around for quite a long time, which should give some idea as to how useful it is. It is usually utilized in surveying and is meant to measure the distance between one point and another. In general, it consists of a single wheel attached to a handle, allowing the user to push the device ahead while walking. How the Calculated Wheel Master Works Measuring wheels are simple enough to use, but is their mechanism simple as well? Yes, but the principle behind it can give some of us some pause. Each full rotation of the wheel, which is 360 angular degrees, thus represents a specific distance. To calculate for that distance, multiply the circumference of the wheel by three-eights of a full turn. While this may seem simple enough, the calculation may take some time. However, the  Wheel Master by Calculated Industries  is designed to take on itself the burden of making these calculations yourself. Simply push the wheel from point A to point B, and the...
