Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by ElectricGuy Good level but weak magnet
The pros, I have dropped this onto concrete a few times by accident from 10-12 feet and it still holds level. It is a nice accurate 9 inch level.
The cons, I bought this as 45 dollars for the klein level seemed high for this apprentice and I hoped this would do the trick for me. But working as an electrician you need a strong level. The reason this dropped multiple times is because the magnet wouldn't hold through vibration while drilling a box on level.
There have been a few times on my jobsite where I am strapping pipe to ceiling or high up on a wall above the t-bar and you want to keep the level on the pipe using the magnet to make sure pipe is level as you strap it. But problem is strapping the pipe down will make this level fall every time because the magnet can't hold on through any sort of vibration at all.
I would recommend this on price, feel and accuracy but if you need a strong magnet I would not recommend it and tell you to spend the extra $$ on the klein. I give it 4 stars since it's survived so many hard drops that I was sure would break it or make it lose accuracy, but it keeps on truckin.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Jaybird Great product, Great price!
This small level has replaced my other "yellow" torpedo level in my nail bags as my all purpose level. Its made of plastic, but don't let that discourage you! This is a very durable level, having survived several falls from 15'+ on to concrete! Its magnetic on one side, and that has came in quite useful on several occasions. It is also made in the U.S.A.!!! Which most tools these days aren't. I like to support my local economy as much as possible. I would highly recommend this level for general use!
