Abstract
A carpenter tool including a body having a first edge and a second edge, a bubble level carried in the body, the bubble level having a tubular sidewall terminating at opposed first and second closed ends. The tubular sidewall has a first section and a second section, wherein at least one of the first and second sections is parallel to at least one of the first and second edges. The first and second sections are oriented normally with respect to each other. The first and second sections are joined to each other in fluid communication and partially filled with a fluid and a bubble in the fluid, such that the bubble is enabled to move between the first and second sections freely.

A carpenter tool comprising:
- a body having a first edge and a second edge;
- a bubble level carried in the body, the bubble level comprising a tubular sidewall terminating at opposed first and second closed ends;
- the tubular sidewall has a first section and a second section, wherein at least one of the first and second sections is parallel to at least one of the first and second edges;

- and
- the first and second sections are joined to each other in fluid communication and partially filled with a fluid and a bubble in the fluid, such that the bubble is enabled to move between the first and second sections freely.
A carpenter tool comprising:
- a body having a first edge and a second edge;
- a bubble level carried in the body, the bubble level comprising a tubular sidewall extending in a continuous circle and bounding an annular interior;
- markings on the body of the tool around the tubular sidewall, each marking indicating a distinct angle;
- and
- a fluid partially filling the interior and a float in the fluid enabled to move freely within the interior to align with one of the markings and indicate an orientation of the body.
