Drill level indicator

A power tool, comprising:

• a housing;
• a motor within said housing;
• an output coupled with said motor;
• an activation member for energizing said motor for rotating said output;
• a power source electrically coupled with said motor and said activation member;
• and
• a leveling mechanism comprising:
• a housing, a cavity in said housing;
• a rotating member rotating about an axis in said housing, said rotating member moving in said cavity such that said rotating member seeks an equilibrium position which corresponds to a level position;
• at least one aperture in said rotating member for enabling passage of a light beam through said rotating member, said at least one aperture or any further apertures all being positioned at a single fixed radius from said point in said housing on said rotating member enabling said light beam to pass through said rotating member at a fixed location;
• an electrical circuit including an emitting device, a receiving device, and an indicator device electrically coupled such that upon activation, said emitting device emits a light beam which passes through said at least one member, said light beam received by said receiving device which, in turn, activates said indicator device indicating to a user that said leveling device is in or near an equilibrium position;
• and
• a power source coupled with said electrical circuit for energizing said electrical circuit.

• and
• a leveling mechanism comprising:
• a housing, a cavity in said housing;
• a rotating member fixed for rotation about an axis in said housing, said rotating member rotating about said axis in said cavity such that said rotating member seeks a plurality of equilibrium positions which corresponds to horizontal and vertical level positions;
• at least one aperture associated with said rotating member for enabling passage of a light beam through said rotating member, said at least one aperture or any further apertures all being positioned at a single fixed radius from said point in said housing on said rotating member enabling said light beam to pass through said rotating member at a fixed location;
• an electrical circuit including an emitting device, a receiving device, and an indicator device electrically coupled such that upon activation, said emitting device emits a light beam which passes through said at least one member, said light beam received by said receiving device which, in turn, activates said indicator device indicating to a user that said leveling device is in or near an equilibrium position;
• and
• a power source coupled with said electrical circuit for energizing said electrical circuit;
• wherein said indicator device being positioned on said housing such that a user may view said indicator device from all sides of said housing when said power tool is in use.
