Best level I've ever used

Nice and reliable set of levels. My "used" kit had no apparent damage and looks brand new. I'm glad I went over Stabila with this one.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Frequency

Easy to read but heavy

The quality of this SOLA spirit level is excellent. The level bubble view is just as good as advertised. The only surprise was how heavy it is compared to other high-end brands. I should have paid more attention to the technical data/

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

The best level! in measuring and marking tools

This spirit level is so reliable and really easy to read. I think it's good that the magnet is screwed instead of glued. I am lowering my level from 15 to 20 feet and have yet to break. I have two of these and have been an IBEW electrician for 26 years. These levels are currently used for 1" galvanized pipe in the LGA.

Pros
  • Top marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Clarity

Not a strong magnet.

Unfortunately I have to return this level. People say the magnet is strong and I love the vials for how easy they are to read. I got it for bending electrical wire, I have a level from a competitor that costs $29.99, has 4 very strong magnets, not one in the middle. This is important for pipe bending, the level itself is good but there is no strong magnet, unfortunately this level is not for me.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Nothing here

First check the V-groove for burrs

A note on a well-made tool: The V-groove has a small area of exposed metal burrs. I discovered this by accident as I ran my finger along the groove and felt something grab and cut my skin. Although he didn't fully break through, I'm sure he was able to handle a lot of pressure. A little sanding removed the burrs, but at this price point, the manufacturer should check for these imperfections before shipping.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Nothing

I love bubbles, but they are inaccurate

I'm a welder, so a strong magnet and an easy-to-read spirit level are very important! And that's what I got. BUT he came to my house where 45* was half a bubble. So I just used the horizontal and the vertical... THEN the horizontal bubble rolled around in her body and was now incredibly inaccurate! But fixed in the middle still works fine, but what I'm doing now is garbage in dollars. They need a new design so that all bubbles are as accurate as the horizontal average.

Pros
  • Extremely durable cast aluminum spirit level with milled measuring surface
Cons
  • Disappear

You never have to squint to read your level!

You won't appreciate how easy these levels are to read until you start using them; Sola's signature bottles are easy to read from a distance, at an angle, in dim light and in very bright light. My Big Red levels have held up admirably to the normal knocks and wear and tear of a job site, but the Empire levels have performed quite well under the same conditions - it's the bottle that makes them special, with a bubble that won't rupture, one Fluid of perfect clarity to tell you exactly where your

Pros
  • FOCUS High Contrast Impact Acrylic Vials 60% Magnification
Cons
  • Requires Power Socket

Where's the quality

Everyone I work with has a stabilizer, my dad has a stabilizer. i understand why There is sand in my package. I was expecting quality control but got the opposite. The bottles are badly glued, it seems that only some parts have come into contact with each other. They are easier to read, I will say the magnet on them is strong, I like it. But the finish is a matte red, it looks like the finish won't last long. It's pretty hard. The solder vial is 1/16 off, level one is fine, I have yet to try…

Pros
  • Strong neodymium magnet for high holding power
Cons
  • Crumpled
