    • Half of level bubble vial liquid is gone.
Size: 72-Inch Style: Samson - Non Magnetic

Review Image by Billy BoB Billy BoB
I have own the level for 15 months. Half of the liquid in the level bubble vial is gone. There is no signs of leakage. Plumb bubble vials are ok. No success in finding a replacement bubble vial. Totally useless as a level. Did a little research. Learned that some vials are filled with alcohol and not water so that they don't freeze in the winter. With alcohol having a lower boiling point than water any small opening in the plastic housing and the alcohol evaporates. The better levels use a low viscosity mineral oil. ... show more

    • Didn't last 18 years like my last level!
Size: 48-Inch Style: Samson - Non Magnetic
Was less than 6 months old when I noticed one end vial had no liquid anymore. Another three months and it was down to one vial left when the level still looked brand new. Never abused, never dropped, only used occasionally so I recycled the aluminum and bought a replacement brand from Menards for $12 less and seems to be easier to read. Definitely had a defective unit but too expensive to take a chance on another... ... show more

    • Nice level, seems to work well, seems more plastic than aluminum
Size: 48-Inch Style: Samson - Magnetic
Got this level when Amazon appeared to have an especially low price (and it went up after I ordered it). The vials are especially easy to read, and the cut outs in the top surface makes it very easy to read. The description is pretty accurate, and all the features appear to be just exactly the way they are described. The magnets are strong. This level is supposedly aluminum. Either there is a thick plastic coating on a thin aluminum structure, or only the top and bottom edges are aluminum. The level is very light, but it doesn't seem flimsy, it's just seems to be more plastic than metal. What I want out of a level is: a) The level is really level. The surfaces do appear to be milled. I don't have a machinist's straight edge to check it, but it seems very flat. My caliper says that the edges are parallel. b) Easy to read - the vials on this level are easy to read, and the bubble is the right size to judge level c) Rugged enough to not worry about handling it - I have some concerns here, but as I said, it's not at all flimsy For what I paid for it, it's a great value. At the current price, you can get an empire level, which is a bit more hefty, but doesn't appear to me to be as accurate or as easy to use ... show more

    • Well Done
Size: 24-Inch Style: Samson - Magnetic
The price is Right, the weight is light, and I just might use it on my next big job for a year and a half. Butt seriously it is a phenomenal level. Excellent design I am a Stabila owner and these make steel stud frame work and door and window installation a breeze.

    • Plumb & Level

Excellent quality and very durable. It has substantial weight to it and easy to read. The plumb vial has a mirror making it very convenient to see where you are at. Great length to have.
