Review: Pricey but Nice - Somewhat pricey for a level, but I appreciate the accuracy. Let’s see how it maintains that accuracy over time. Review: For yourself or the builder in your life Stabila will surely bring a smile - I've been building with aluminium for twenty years now and I have been through my share of levels. This one is by far the best. By far Aluminum is very unforgiving because it is perfectly straight and anything shy of perfectly level and plumb sticks out like a sore thumb. I got to a point where I felt that I deserved to have the best level that money could buy, and after much research, I landed on this one. Good choice. This level is nice and bright for easy location, and the vials are nice and bright for easy reading. It is a little heavier than any that I have had prior, but I like the feel of it in my hand. It kind of lends a subconscious confidence in it's purpose. I could, however, see how someone may prefer a lighter level for easier handling while up on ladders and whatnot. It just means having to buy more levels over time as the lighter the level the more frequently they will lose true. With the fantastic lifetime warranty and replaceable rubber ends this decision was easy to make. If level and plumb pay your bills, or you just like to have the best, this is likely your best choice. I would say that I will always buy Stabila, but this will, barring theft, likely be the last one I will ever have to buy (although I would like to have the mini for those tight areas). Stabila for me for life. ## Features - SLIM, REINFORCED ALUMINUM PROFILE: Grip-friendly design with reinforcing ribs provides excellent stability, a secure hold, and comfortable handling on the job. - HIGHLY VISIBILE: The unique vial system is exceptionally bright and highly visible, and is guaranteed not to leak, break, or fog—even in tough jobsite conditions. - SLIP-STOP END CAPS: Non-slip end caps hold the level securely in place, preventing shifting while marking lines or making adjustments. - LONG-TERM ACCURACY: Permanently secured vials deliver sustained precision ±1/32" at 72" in both normal and reverse positions. - EASY TO CLEAN: Coated measuring surface protects is easy to clean ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00009OLI2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #258,941 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #429 in Levels | | Brand | Stabila | | Brand Name | Stabila | | Color | Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 378 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00089634374480 | | Included Components | Level | | Item Dimensions L x W | 2.38"L x 48"W | | Item Highlight | High-performance spirit level for precise horizontal and vertical readings, 48 inch length, Cat.
