Overview

A bright vial system reads true in every position on each level in this Stabila set, and slip-stop end caps hold a level in place while you mark lines. A protective case carries the set.

Covering short and long runs from one case means a level of the right length is always on hand for trim, framing and tile. Frame material, weights and vial counts are not given, so how it handles on a job site cannot be judged from the listing.

Who it's for

Carpenters, tile setters and remodelers who check plumb and level on different runs get a full range of lengths. Anyone needing a single mid-size level, or a lighter bag, should look at an individual tool.

A level reads true when its vial is accurate and its frame is straight, so the certified accuracy figure is the key number. The guarantee against leaking and fogging protects the readability, and the end caps stop shifting while you mark.
