True Blue 12 in. Magnetic Tool Box Level

This little level is awesome used to put drainage pipe in perfect

I've had this level for over 2 years and it's usually the first one I grab when I'm choosing between the three that I have. It's very accurate at all angles. It is lightweight and the magnet is a plus since it's not too strong. There isn't anything that I dislike on it so far and it does meet my expectations. Please hit the thumbs up if this was helpful.

Precision and low price

Excellent product. Solid frame and convenient magnet. Accurate and easy to read. Price right also.

Ease of use

This is a good looking level and passes true in all positions. The "out-of-level" notches are accurate, but I would still double check against true-level if you're trying to pitch anything, just to make sure. The 45 degree tests true as well in both directions. My picture shows I'm just a hair off, but still on the line, of a piece that another torpedo level read as true. The magnet is solid, but not ridiculously strong, which is a positive.

I love this level; from the moment I first picked it up, it has a nice weight to it and I knew that it's built well and solid. So I have no worries of it breaking. The vials are true blue which makes it easier to see the contrasting bubble inside even from some distance away; the bubbles are very accurate. I like that it has a choice of 4 vials which enables to check the leveling at the different angles. Good to know it's made in USA; I'm sick and tired of buying things made in China. I have used this level to hang a glass shelf above the A/C unit in my living room. Will use it again to install shelving in the kitchen and bathroom. Perfect!

Grabbed this level for individual block level checks as I built a 60+ foot long retaining wall and a firepit. Perfect size for my required use.

I have owned the 24" and 72" Empire e2G series box levels for a few years now and love them. They are large and beefy and the design with the handles and rubber bumpers makes them great to work with. What I have been lacking is a smaller level, for smaller projects or tight spaces. I do have a small cheap torpedo level that seems to work, but despite it's apparent accuracy, I never really trust it, and I wanted a slightly longer level. (in my photos, you can see the width of the lines on the cheap yellow level are much wider than the bubble, whereas the lines on the Empire are right next to the bubble) This 12" Empire is great. It's a nice handy size that is relatively compact, but large enough to give me confidence when checking different surfaces. The one feature that I didn't even know about when I ordered it was the "VARI-PITCH" vial, which has markings for 1/8" - 1/2". I have wanted that feature on every level I've used. I can see that something is off, but I was always guessing how much. Do I adjust 1/8"? Or is it 1/4" off? It was always a guessing game and you just had to hold the level in place and slowly adjust, or place the level on the workpiece and slowly adjust the piece, guessing on the amount until it becomes level. The VARI-PITCH feature is awesome--I can't believe it hasn't been standard on levels for years. The feature is described on the box as being for setting drainage, but I'll definitely use it for leveling. I think this feature alone will make this my favorite level, and well worth the very reasonable price for this model. The magnet on one side is plenty strong enough to hold the level securely and firmly to a magnetic surface. Fantastic little level! I love it!

Just picked this up for plumbing my bath and kitchen. What a good choice. This level has 4 vials each showing a different level at hand. All are clear and bluish in color. The level itself has a magnetic strip on one side and a grooved side. The grooved side has 2 windows for viewing the level from above. Making it easier when in a tight spot or working above and below. This is an Empire tool. Which I have come to respect. Empire makes quality tools which I rely on. These are solidly constructed tools with excellent features. I have several and have not been disappointed.
