The LTW level comes 
shipped in the box 
shown to the right. It is 
double boxed in another, 
larger box to adequately 
protect it during 
shipment. The box flap 
is tight, it might be 
helpful to use a putty 
knife inserted to help 
open so as not to tear off 
the flap. You will notice 
the included hex key for 
adjusting the level.

Removing the top piece 
of foam shows the LTW 
level cradled in foam to 
protect it.
