Damn good level! useful for levels

This is my second rating of this level and it is better than my first rating. Nice little hard level. And Swenson has a good name. Strong magnets, very well made. I'm glad I had the opportunity to buy one of them.

Pros
  • handy article
Cons
  • not sure

Same as brand name Level

For the money, just as good as the Klein brand. I use 48" and 24" levels and this one is 12" which is great for running electrical wiring in tight spaces. The magnets hold the spirit level horizontally and vertically. It seems as accurate as a 12 inch level can be. All at a low price. Yahoo!

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Modern

Fluid is still leaking

The horizontal vial leaked liquid and the bubble engulfed the entire vial so it could not be used for horizontal alignment. One of the previous reviews mentioned this but the company said it fixed it but apparently didn't. I've ordered a replacement based on what was presented as being of a high standard and I think with a second one I'll take a look.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Liquid is still leaking

The horizontal vial leaked liquid and the vial covered the entire vial, so it could not be used for horizontal leveling. One of the previous reviews mentioned this but the company said it fixed it but apparently didn't. I've ordered a replacement based on what was presented as being of a high standard and I think with a second one I'll take a look.

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen

Electrician's problem

Bought for pipe bending. When you bend off the ground you want 30 and 45ยฐ to be on the right side, so as the pipe rises the level shows 30 or 45 closest to the eye. This one needs to be flipped so it's on the bottom and you have to bend down all the way to see it. Also, the thing looks bulletproof. Let's see how it feels throwing it a few times from 40 feet like I did with my Greenlee which is flawless.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Good magnets, solid construction, great price!

Excellent level! I'm an electrician, in my job I usually use torpedo levels. I've had several good quality levels in the $20-$50 range, this level is my favorite so far. It's hard to find a spirit level at a fair price (I paid $23) that is durable and has good magnets and doesn't cost a fortune. This is actually my second level which I bought due to stealing the first one. The only downside to this level is that it's a bit longer than 11 inches, but most of the time that's not a problem for me.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Not reliable
