Stabila37816 48-Inch and 16-Inch Aluminum Box Beam Level Set, Yellow

Stabila levels are terrific They are well constructed and ACCURATE! Yes, they are expensive. But what really good tool isn't?I've been working in construction for 30+ years, and have been through my share of levels. Won't name the brands here, but they are mostly those we all see in the hardware and big box stores. And yes, most of these are OK. But that's it, just OK. However, some of these are simply unacceptable.The horizontal vial in my 42-inch level became loose and therefore inaccurate. So, I shopped at the big retailers. In one store I looked at six different 48-inch levels from well-recognized manufacturers. These weren't the cheapie plastic ones, but aluminum box frames selling for around $40 - $55. Every one of the these six levels gave a different indication when placed on the same display shelf in the store. Even after using some thin cardboard to 'level' a test location, I still couldn't get two levels to read the same. Swinging each level 180 degrees easily showed their inaccuracies. Some weren't as bad as others, but none were what I'd call really accurate. This is why I decided to invest the money in Stabila. I am very pleased that I did. These tools really are the most accurate levels I've ever owned.Another point where the Stabila levels really are better is their solid construction. The rugged vials are mounted to the box frame exceptionally well. You can see simply by examining the construction of these tools that they are very high quality. Guess that's why Stabila has such a fine guarantee. Of course, as solidly as these are built, it's unlikely that they have to exchange very many 'defective' levels.And finally, I have waited about a year before writing this review. I wanted to use these levels a lot before writing my review. Although these levels aren't as 'pretty' as they were a year ago, they ARE still as accurate. If you want a fine tool, Stabila levels will do very nicely.

These are the best levels and last a long time.

Straight. Light. Bright. Clear reading. All the good stuff.

I’ve laid a good deal of buildings with these now. Comparative to other levels, it holds true. It’s been dropped hard and has held its bubbles and accuracy.I have a Crick whose bubble broke out of nowhere. 1 day, it was there, then it wasn’t. Stabila is where I stay.

The bright yellow color makes them easy to spot on the job site. I've used them for various projects, and they never let me down.

You get what you pay for with these. I have several Stabila levels and they are all great. Very accurate and easy to see. If you take care of them they will last forever.

Used these levels for a kitchen remodel. They are extremely sensitive and very happy with performance. I used these in combination with an 8 foot 1x4 aluminum screed bar and water level. I checked the levels accuracy against the water level and both levels were flawless. Highly recommend these levels and could not have done the job without them. Note the end caps are removable to get up close to a wall etc.If you want to use a water level, 1/2" vinyl tube is all you need with a couple of long twist ties on the ends to hang it, masking tape works well to hold water level to the wall as you position it. Putting a cap on the ends helps to prevent spills when moving water level. Water is always 100% accurate especially useful over long distances like one wall to another.
