Nearly perfect. to measuring and layout tools

The brightness of the light at this level perfectly matches the color and size of the bottle. It's a solid piece of aluminum that's been machined fairly decently. The magnets are strong enough to hold the level's weight on any flat magnetic surface, wet or dry. The light will turn off automatically after three minutes unless you turn it off manually with the button. The battery compartment isn't waterproof and drains (2) AAA batteries fairly quickly, which might be the only real downside. An…

They don't yet notice how good the lighting conditions are.

Seems useless and unnecessary, doesn't it? I thought so, but bought it anyway. As a commercial plumber, the pocket scale is used all the time, so I was looking for a quality packaging scale. The construction is excellent, the magnets are very strong and the glowing bubbles are amazing. It is great for corners, openings, blast rooms and other places where light is limited. It's much more convenient to have a backlight than trying to turn on the emergency light in the level and being blinded by…

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Discontinued

Make up for the lost fluid and the vial is too big to use!

So messy. Bought this based on great reviews after my last torpedo started leaking fluid from one of the tiers. The last level took me a decade. This one lost some liquid on one of the layers (the main one I use for pumping, of course) after just a month! I was outside the return window so couldn't return or exchange it. It's weird because he lost enough to make the bladder too big to use, but he hasn't lost any fluid since. It's basically useless for my daily needs (contractor). I hope you…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Heavy, small bubbles, harsh light, cutter

It was a lot heavier than I expected. I always try to lighten my load and this item is heavier than others I have used. The bubbles seem quite small compared to the lines on the tubes, I know the fastest and most accurate bubbles are the same size as the space between the lines. The light is bright, the button may be too easy to activate (not sure). The color of the light is pretty nasty - I think it contributes to his instant shut off lol. There was a slight milling error along a milling edge.

Pros
  • Solid surface
Cons
  • Damaged

Spirit Levels in Spirit Levels

So after buying two of these Torpedo Spirit Levels and using them daily in the plumbing trade I decided to buy a third one for a colleague. I bought the first one for myself, the second one for my boss who liked mine. The light works great. I can't believe how handy this is. I always seem to be wandering around in dark basements. Anyway, we both use them every day and both have reset them multiple times. Both still work and so far none of the magnets have fallen out. I've had mine for about 6…

Pros
  • Stylish and Modern Design
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled
