Claim 13:
14. A method of using a device for leveling a surface, the method comprising the steps of:
providing the device, the device including:
a shaft including an elongated profile having an adjustable length;
a handle attached to a first end of the shaft; and
a head-assembly attached about a second end of the shaft, the head-assembly including a mid-section, a first half pivotally attached to a first side of the mid-section, and a second half pivotally attached to a second side of the mid-section, the mid-section being attached to the second end of the shaft, the first half and the second half being pivotable between a folded-position and an in-use position, and wherein the first half and the second half in the in-use position are used to level the surface, the head-assembly further includes a pop-out mechanism, the pop-out mechanism including a first spring in communication with the first half and a second spring in communication with the second half, and wherein the first spring and the second spring impart a permanent bias on the first half and the second half toward the in-use position, the pop out mechanism further including a latch movable by a third spring between a first latch position and a second latch position, in the first latch position the latch retains the first half and the second half in either the folded or in-use position, and in the second latch position the latch permits movement of both the first half and the second half between the folded and in-use position, the third spring imparting a permanent bias on the latch toward the first latch position;
placing the first half and the second half of the head-assembly in the in-use position;
adjusting the adjustable length of the shaft to a desired position;
grasping the handle-means; and
using the device to level the surface with the head-assembly.
