Unlike basic drill blocks, bubble levels, digital spirit levels and laser alignment systems, Copilot is not limited to just perpendicular alignment, and does not require the user to take their immediate attention away from the drill and material working surface.

The Copilot system can provide accurate alignment on any plane, at any angle and onto any surface without limitation. The LED array provides smooth, intuitive feedback that the user can process in their peripheral visual, almost as a sixth-sense. The combination of limitless alignment settings and an intuitive, easy to understand visual feedback creates the ultimate solution for drilling alignment.
