The main member has first and second ends, and top and bottom faces. The top face of the main member has an hole therein. A first bubble vial is provided in the hole of the top face of the main member. The elongate insertion member has first and second ends, and top and bottom faces. The top face of the insertion member has an hole therein. A second bubble vial is provided in the hole of the top face of the insertion member. The second end of the insertion member is slidably received by the first end of the main member. The insertion member is biased away from the second end of the main member in a direction along the longitudinal axis of the main member.
