STABILA Type 196 Spirit Level Set with Case, 6 Levels, 78 inch Max, Cat. Number 78496

Love this level set and use them almost every day. There are some new SOLA levels out there that are potentially easier to read, and I do find myself having to look a bit closer for very accurate measurements, but Stabila offers the whole package at a reasonable price. Love the bag, love the levels, and have zero regrets spending the money on them. My job requires the utmost precision and Stabila delivers. I was going back and forth between Stabila and SOLA, and though I prefer the SOLA bubbles, until they sell the complete set with a carrying case you have to go with Stabila. I was happy I waited because I got them for $75 off the set!

These levels are super dope. The bubbles are very clear and easy to read, they seem very accurate, altho they are supposed to be, so you just have to trust it. The finish of these is just what you would expect for the price and reputation of stabila. My complaints are minimal but they should add magnets on all of them instead of just the torpedo level. Also I see know reason why all them in the kit have machined polished edges except for the 6' it doesn't match the fit and finish of the rest. Still very nice kit considering my issuse. I would still reccomend the kit.

I'm a cabinet installer (Finish Carpenter), and I've used just about every level on the market. these levels are, by far, the highest quality on the market!! The construction is flawless, and you know that when it shows level, it's LEVEL! They're a bit pricey, but usually, "you get what you pay for". If you need accuracy, I would recommend them!

This is a very high quality set of levels. I have had a few different sets and brands in the past and they all seem dependable at first but after finishing my first major construction build and using this set I can say that it stands out among the rest. I did drop the 4ft and 2ft levels from 12ft up and they did scratch a little bit, but the levels did not bend and the sight glasses remain perfect. The only thing I would have liked to see is magnets in every level not just the 12” torpedo level. For the price point I think there should have been magnets in each level.

As a building contractor I have been using Stabila levels for over 20 years. I believe they are the best and top quality. Still using some that have been used about every day for 10 years. Buying this set to spoil myself. Great set and all the sizes that one would need. Only complaint with the set is that the torpedo level is magnetic, doesn't make sense. I would have preferred a standard non-magnetic one. I own one of each already and the magnet strength is over the top, its hard not to have it stick to every tool in your bags and continues to pick up magnetic garbage so that you have to wipe clean every time you go to use it. Gets old real quick! Great heavy duty case and packaging for shipping was also well done.

Love this set! Accurate, Awesome price for these levels, carrying case is a great benefit with all levels right together in one place with their own perfect fitting place in the bag. Definitively would buy all over again and refer these to others. Can't go wrong buy purchasing. Will not not be disappointed. Thank you!

After many years finally got tired of running around trying to find the "right" level and got tired of trying to level a long run with the short levels. Also got tired of looking at levels in various stores and finding that each one on the same rack would read different! Not good! Finally just said to heck with it and bought this so I could be done with it! Very nice set and a quality bag too! The only slight issue is that because of the 78" level the bag is pretty long! Not really a surprise. 90% of the time I would not need the 78" level so I just bought the 5 level bag (this is basically the 5 level set with the addition of the 78') and will carry all the shorter ones in the short bag and grab the longer bag and level as needed. Would buy again.

I just bought this set, and during the two days I’ve had them on the job, the zipper already popped off the case after no more than 10 uses, and I’m not a fan of the super bulky end caps. I can see the red rubber popping off the plastic insert over time and use, and it’s really difficult to mark accurately at the very top. I can’t be bothered removing and re-installing caps after every mark. My 20 year old Stabila was perfectly fine with the smaller, lower profile end caps, and is still dead on accurate. The reason I replaced is because the fluid color faded and the plastic sight window got dull over time, so it’s quite difficult to read. Anyway, I do like the set, though the torpedo is the lower end one without the 45 degree vial. They’re not as nice as they were 20 years ago, but they’re still better made than anything else I’ve come across. The carrying case, I feel, was designed with efficiency in mind, and they’ve done a nice job with the concept, but it’s simply too tight. The pockets don’t open much more in girth than to allow the level to be inserted into its spot, and there’s only room for a couple fingers to reach in and grip one to slide out. A little more opening room would be great, especially for my 78 and 48” levels. Overall 4 stars, as it’s still good stuff, but not the same levels they were 20 years ago when the Stabila salespeople would throw them 15 feet in the air and proceed to demonstrate their accuracy after the drop.

Price seemed so high, but craftsmanship put that first point to bed. If you're doing a basement or first time home owner this is an amazing investment.

Stabila levels are the best levels money can buy!

Love them.

Great set of levels, as a 35 plus year carpenter they are great quailty.

No complaints
