EMPIRE EM71.8 Professional True Blue Magnetic Box Level, 8"

I really like it, seems well built. Only issue I have is the line of sight to the vial is a little limited. Really have to lean over to see the bubble when trying to level a fitting because of how thick and how small the hole the vial is in compared to some torpedo levels. I've dropped it a few times and it does get little dents and burs than can effect how it sits on flat surfaces. For 20 bucks I imagine it should last me at least a year. If it craps out on me after 6 months I'd still give it 4 stars

Awesome level.

This level is exceptionally well-designed and offers remarkable functionality. Unlike many other levels that rely on adhesive rubber bases for magnetism, this one utilizes rare earth magnets, ensuring durability in various environments. The color scheme is superior to the green standard, enhancing readability and brightness. The intuitive interface and user-friendly design make it an excellent tool with exceptional capabilities.

Genial Herramienta

Muy precisos

Theres a reason people are so happy to get these back when its still stuck to the pipe. It becomes your little friend. Seriously, 20 bucks? Best torpedo out there. Doesn't have the useless 30 degree bubble, so if its not useless to you, I'm sure you already noticed. I much prefer the marked vial. Its very useful to me.

The color on the level and quality of it is amazing. I’m only giving 4 stars because It doesn’t have a whole to secure the level from falling at work, which means I can’t use it. For the price, I think this is a feature it should have

(I use this level quite a bit, and I like it. But I have to say I find the built-in magnets kind of annoying.I know working with steel framing it is useful to have magnets in the level, but for my purposes all it does is pick up every metal screw, nail, and anything else that might be around. I know that dropping a magnet can reduce its strength, but that procedure might not be so wise considering this is a level. I just wish they were not there. Other than that it is a great little level.)Had the Stabila for a good 25 years and I have no idea where it went. Was going to buy another and got sticker shock. So I did what I always do, and that is scour the internet reading reviews. People like Stabila, for good reason. But quite a few liked this torpedo level as well. Made in the USA is a nice added perk.Very reasonably priced so I ordered one. I mostly use it for tile work, but I just grabbed it yesterday to check a windowsill as I was installing some windows. For checking level I think it is very good. I'm not all that thrilled for checking plumb. The vial is so small I don't trust that I have things perfect, so I stick with just using it for level. It does that really well. Considering for plumb I have 2', 4' 6' and 6'8" levels, plus a laser, I really don't need the little one for checking it.I think it is a bargain in comparison to the competition out there. And the first thing I ever do with any level is check where the bubble is, twirl it, and the bubble should be exactly the same distance in the other direction. I even do that for levels I have dropped too many times and can't adjust. Take the two readings and the average should be perfect.Nice level at a really good price.
