Description

The SAVAGE™ Lighted Torpedo Levels have all the same amazing features as the solid billet torpedo levels, but with the additional convenience of being lighted. This level is essential for anyone who has worked in tight cramped areas such as under sinks, in a basement or closet, or in a tight wall cavity. Its grooved top allows you to easily work on pipes, and as a torpedo level it is practical for day to day use. Besides the convenience of this tool it is a true innovation that changes the way you see lighted levels. The Savage™ lighting is a completely integrated system, designed and manufactured specifically for its purpose. It uses three very bright, instant on/off, LED- lighted vials – all connected to one power source. Swanson’s patent-pending Brightview® vial technology captures and reflects light for maximum readability, even with the lights off.

  • On the level
Size: 9 inches Style: 9" Illuminated Magnetic Pattern Name: Levels
Ok so after buying two of these torpedo levels and using them every day in the plumbing trade I decided to buy a third for a coworker. The first one I bought for myself the second for my boss who loved the one I had. The light works great. Can't believe how handy it is. It seams I'm always in dark basements crawl spaces. Anyway we both use them every day and both have been dropped a few times. Both still work and none of the magnets fell out so far. I have mine around 6 months and it does get used every day five or six days a week. Other people have said the magnets fall out. That may be true it is an inexpensive level and is made in China. So far I have had no problems with the magnets or the lighting of the level. Also someone complained about light being accidentally turned in and killing the batteries. The light on the level only stays little for around 30 seconds then shuts off. I have not had any problems as far as that goes however the batteries that came with the level did not last very long. Not a problem worth complaining about for the price of this level. AAA batteries can be replaced easily and the energizer batteries last a long time using the light mode often. All around great little level. I would not be buying a third if I had problems with the first two. Also the magnets are strong. Others complained about that. The only other level I have seen with a more magnetic grip was a lenox level which I used for years and loved but the 45° level broke after dropping from an extension ladder. They don't make that level anymore as far as I know which led me to this one. ... show more

  • High Quality Torpedo Level
Size: 9 inches Style: 9" Illuminated Magnetic Pattern Name: Levels
Never heard of savage torpedo levels bought it to give it a try? Arrived on time very well built light is very bright hopefully it last long! You can feel the quality in the level with its weight compared to other levels and other then the sight holes, and battery compartment it is all aluminum, and the holes on each end for tie points to secure it to a teather is a nice touch ... show more

  • Great level !
Size: 9 inches Style: 9" Illuminated Magnetic Pattern Name: Levels
So as we all are I’m getting older and having more trouble seeing in lower light , and in the middle of remodeling my 104 year old house and desperately needed a level that I could see and that’s all I was Hoping for but i just got to say that i got way more than I expected ! This is the finest built level Ive ever used, it’s dead accurate and packed with some really handy features, along with the lighting ability but that’s not the best part , the best part is the way this thing feels in your hands ! The build quality is incredible, i honestly think this is one of the finest tools I’ve ever used and i also have other high end led levels but this one is now my go to , and also it seems to be made exactly like the more expensive Klein ! I mean exactly ... show more

  • Heavy, Small Bubbles, Gross Light, Milling Knick
Size: 9 inches Style: 9" Illuminated Magnetic Pattern Name: Levels
It was much heavier than I anticipated. I'm always looking to lighten my load and this thing is heavier than others I have used. The bubbles seemed pretty small relative to the lines on the tubes, I know the quickest and most accurate have bubbles the same size as the space between the lines. The light is bright, the button may be too easy to activate (unsure). The color of the light is pretty gross - I guess that promotes shutting it off right away, lol. There was a small milling defect along one milled edge. The milling is rather crude being very rough and course. This is not a "self aligning" design, meaning the magnets are on a flat edge rather than the edge with the "v-groove". So the magnets are strong but on pipe or conduit it may not be aligned with the length of pipe. It came with batteries installed. The battery door is plastic, but it appears to be secured by two small (#1, or #0) Philips screws. I have no concern regarding the door, it seems solid. Other than all that, I think it will be an 'ok' torpedo level for me. ... show more

  • Unbreakable
Size: 9 inches Style: 9" Illuminated Magnetic Pattern Name: Levels
I've been doing commercial/industrial electrical work for almost two years now, and I bought this level very early in my career. Its been in my pouch every workday since. I've dropped it off ladders, I've used it as a hammer, and I've thrown in a few times when something wouldn't level out. This is the most durable level I've ever heard of. You would have to seriously try to break it. The light is awesome and still bright as ever. It acts up a bit when the batteries are low but thats expected. Having a light up level is an absolute lifesaver in dark crawl spaces or above drop ceilings, and people on the jobsite always comment on it. The reason I'm leaving a review after all this time is because today I dropped it off a scissor lift, 40+ feet in the air, twice. After the second time I looked at my boss and said "if that thing is still alive then I'm leaving a review when I get home." Here we are. It even still checks out against a brand new Johnson level. ... show more

  • Honestly happy with this purchase
Size: 9 inches Style: 9" Illuminated Magnetic Pattern Name: Levels
High quality the light is perfect for being in mechanical rooms. The actual level is thick enough to be used with welding gloves and be able to grip it without worrying about it falling
