I haven't had it long enough to say what the long term durability is, but this is cheap enough that if I drop it from the top of a ladder or lose it, I won't lose too much sleep over it. They are cheap enough to just buy another one and not sweat it.

I love my Stabila level but they are expensive. These are super cheap and seem good enough for something to keep in my portable tool kit for random jobs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable and Accurate Tool for Any DIY Project
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2024
As a DIY enthusiast, I've found the Amazon Basics 9-Inch Magnetic Torpedo Level and Ruler to be a game-changer for my projects. This tool has been incredibly reliable and accurate, making it an essential addition to my toolkit.

One of the features I appreciate most is the strong magnet. It holds firmly to metal surfaces, which is a huge help when I'm working alone and need to keep both hands free. The bubbles at 180, 90, and 45 degrees are clear and easy to read, providing the precision I need for various tasks.

The compact size of this level makes it easy to carry around and use in tight spaces, which I encounter frequently in my projects. Despite its small size, it feels sturdy and well-built, giving me confidence in its durability.

While using it, I noticed how smoothly the ruler side helped in quick measurements. It's convenient not having to switch tools constantly, especially during detailed work.

If there's one thing to note, it's that the black color can sometimes blend in with dark surfaces, making it slightly harder to spot at a glance. However, this is a minor issue compared to the overall functionality and reliability this tool provides.

In short, this magnetic torpedo level and ruler has become a trusted companion in my DIY endeavors, enhancing both the efficiency and accuracy of my work.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a good level, works well. Bit heavy and thick.
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2024
If I have "my stuff" with me and don't have to find out I need to fix something after I left basic tools at home or the home office I would have never seen this. I was remote - jumped on Amazon after 9:00 at night , I woke up to tools and anchors all over the door step where i'm staying. My first torpedo level that was all mine was a craftsman from back when Sears was a real store and they replaced anything that died. Later I picked a Klein one up when I didn't have one with me.

The good - In some ways it's easier to read - especially in sun at a distance. If you are just spot checking pictures or something , hanging the occasional cupboard or the other things you might need a level for it's at least $4.00 less than name brands I'd get. Today I needed to use to to mount boxes or frames for curcuits dropped of at the building demar that had to get to where they were needed. The hair thicker and taller, when bracing it on some items and trying to install makes it a bit hard to manage.

Without putting on my glasses I could read it fine without leaning in. It is a bit heaver, thicker and taller - but overall I'm happy not spending time and money to o find a name brand that I just like. I don't know about you, but 've neer had one break. Sometimes they get on teh bottom of the wrong box and I don't see one of them for a year but they always come home.

The only time the weight (and it isn't much in the overall design of life, If you have to fight faling tool belt due to a gut - or you just lost it nad now your pants are loose - it's a copyle of more ounces to figh but then again - they make tool suspenders for tose of us with current or residual thickness and wideness issues. For me it's mostly a non issue Two of my team played with it and the really liked it.

In the end there's at least a portion where it's an old dued that would like the1988 level they ot from their dad to be the only leve you can buy, carry, or use,

Value for money - totally there. Ease of reading (Easier than the other two) The only other caution isn't the tool. it's the user. Depending on what you are doing make sure you don't need a 4' carpenter's one. These are awesome for mounting stuff on utility walls and keeping it straight - same with pictures or paintings - no stress. Want to make sure the fllor you're laying out is level - go get a longer level (never leave it outside in humidity adn case it when not in use. The wood or steel / Aluminium . framing level agument, along when a torpedo level is probably not what you shoul duse.

If you are taking a bunch out to dinner for end of porject - good time to leave your car locked up in an office garage, home - heck anyplace but on a street that's vacant by 9:30 If you are checking level for a wider area say 10'x16 feet thea easiest and most economical way is a framing level. If you aren't going to be houseflipping every six monts.Metal/wod won't matter as muhc.

If you do go wood (I prefer it but I also liked the Ford Taurus YMMV) Usually you can get one a Lowes, Home Depot or any real lumber yeard. The last time I bought one as a present it was under $50 and came with a good plastic bumper case.

Adding switches, handiboxes, auxilliar breaker / knife switches, etc - the Amazon is probably great. If the object isprobably up to a foot on either side you're in the right place. f it's the kitche floor - you need a better leve. meaning bigger).

I bought this level to use for my camp trailer to level out the camper at campsites. Its small size makes it perfect to put in my little toolbox that I keep with the camper and the magnet really helps when leveling the unit. Accurate And seems to be durable.

This is a great little level - very convenient to keep in your tool bag. As an additional benefit, it’s magnetic and will stick to a metal surface. Very high-quality.

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2024
I bought this to use for pottery as I just wanted something small that would fit into my pottery tool kit. It works great and is just the right size. Now that I have it, I'm sure I'll use it around the house as well. It's great for things like hanging pictures and much easier than getting out my larger, heavier version. I'm very pleased with the purchase and would buy again. This would make a great gift for a kid moving into their first place, too!
