Questions & Answers
I’m looking for a narrow level that will fit in a crevice, preferably under 1” width. The dimensions on the site don’t make sense to me, saying the width is over 13”. Can someone confirm the dimensions of this level? Thanks
Does the digital readout work for the full 40"? If I'm leveling something that's 32" long, will the digital display show an accurate reading?
This question refers to the digital readout on the torpedo level included in the 2-piece set. The extendable box level itself does not have a digital readout. The digital torpedo level is 9" long. Therefore, it would not provide a digital readout for the full 40" of the extended box level. However, if you are leveling something 32" long, you can use the 9" digital torpedo level to check the level at multiple points along the 32" length.
Do both of these level extend? Or only the 24 ?
Both the eXT40 level and eXT78 level extend. Thank you - Social Team
Magnetic?
Yes. It has a magnetic strip running down the long edge (bottom I think). We keep our 12” & 10” versions of this level stuck to the side of our garage fridge for quick access.
What is duel vari pitch on the 12in level
For posterity, VARI-PITCH™ vial reads pitch in 1⁄8", 1⁄4", 3⁄8", and 1⁄2" per foot of horizontal run of the working material.
Does this level have ruler measurements indicated on the surface? I cannot tell from this webpage and description.
No, it does not. It would be great if that were added.

How to read the gradient . where the bubble should b How to read the gradient level
4 vials read plumb, level, 45 degree and vari-pitch, vari-pitch vial reads slope in 1/8-inch increments
All bubble levels should have the bubble centered in the vial. This level has a feature that helps determine how far out of level the object you are checking. The markings allow you to adjust the object to level be suggesting how far out of level it is. The level is only one foot, so if you are working with an object that is several feet long, the actual adjustment will be greater than what is listed on the vial. This is my favorite level when working with small objects such as drawers and drawer slides, as well as door adjustment with European hinges.
