Picked up a total station promo flyer from Hilti tools this morning. They are advertising two total station models: POS 15 and POS 18.
The warranty deal sounded better than the model name.
- 2 years @ no costs: parts, labor and shipping
- Lifetime repair cost limit (30% of list price)
- Lifetime manufacturer's warranty
"Quickly set-up
The laser plummet helps you set up over a reference point - virtually at the speed of light."
Ah, good ol' promotion literature!
Their website says something to the effect, "for the Construction Foreman, not the Surveyor."
🙂

It would behoove the marketing department to make one last check at "Urban Dictionary" before they formalize the naming of a new product :-O
Maybe they did, Jim...
From the site POS 18, a 3" instrument but NOT for surveyors...
"- Designed for skilled users from the trades, such as foremen, not surveyors"
looks like a re-badged Nikon Nivo.
POS...too funny!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed. Wrong catagory. Should be Humor.
