📏 Stabila 29441 STABILA 25 41In Expanding: Precision and Versatility Combined Review

I needed a packable spirit level that could extend beyond the pack size and was glad such a thing existed. Of course, leave that to the guys at Stabila. This tool works great at its maximum length but can also be packed 25 inches. Being a Stabila, it is accurate and reliable and will last a lifetime. I like it.

I bought this to help align gaskets under new windows. This worked great because it expands to the size of the window. Prior to this purchase I had 24" and 48" levels that were often too short or too long.

Last time I checked, 25" items don't fit in 24" bags. I love how the Stabilia bags say "Stabilia" as if it were an advertisement for everyone in the workplace: DECORATE IT! But you will not break the tool. It holds up well, but the clasp can stiffen a bit if there is too much dry dust or MDF in the air. Be aware of this and spray on some dry lubricant from time to time

Excellent spirit level for leveling, especially if you need to place it in or on top of cupboards. However, it is not suitable for lead. The plumb is only at one end, which always seems furthest to me. Also, the plumb bob is difficult to read when the level is fully folded. Also, only one edge is flat, so I tend to trust that only as a reference edge. I want them to finish off both edges, a printed ruler on one edge is absolutely useless. So if Stabila reads this, reinforce this with 2 lead…
