Questions & Answers

What is the difference between magnetic and non-magnetic levels
ByOct 8, 2024
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Magnetic Strip: These levels have a magnetic strip that allows them to attach to metal surfaces. This feature is particularly useful when you need to free up your hands for other tasks. Standard Design: These levels do not have a magnetic strip and are used in the same way as traditional levels.

        It may have had that on the packaging. All it says on the level is Stanley.

                                The "Product Overview" states, "ABS construction". That's plastic, I believe. But, the "Specification Detail" for manufacture states, "Material" as being "Aluminum". Therefore, the level is made of _______________________?

                                Plastic. There might be some aluminum on it, but it is a plastic level. It works well.

                                This is made of plastic.

                                  You are correct. ABS is plastic. That is a description error.

                                        Excellent functionality for the price. The see-through slot on the side for viewing the leveler when checking for plumb was super helpful. Also used it to hang curtain rods. The built-in ruler on one side was so useful in leveling and measuring the spots for the curtain rod brackets. I didn't need a separate ruler to measure out the 16 center studs.

                                        24” ABS Level
                                        Hi Everyone I have several (many) Stanley tools and have used them for decades .. I find the ABS level to be accurate, lightweight and easy to read. And it doesn’t freeze your hands in colder weather. I also recommend the 72” Max level for larger projects - milled aluminum and again easy to work with. TIP - When buying a new level, you can check it’s accuracy by checking the level with another one .. If both say level, then both of them are !

                                          Super handy 2' level, very well made, very accurate and at a good price. I've bin using one of these for about to years an love it! Really handy for doing windows and shelves and anything else. It is very easy to see bubbles. They seem to really contrast against the yellow boby. Very light and durable. Highly recommend.

                                            Bought this level to use to level my RV. I did not want to spend a lot of money but needed a level that was pretty accurate. This level fit the bill perfectly. I would recommend buying this level if you don’t need something that’s super super accurate but it does get the job done and I like the long length.

                                            Good for Medium-sized Jobs
                                            The Stanley 24 Inch High-Impact ABS Level is lightweight, rigid, precise, highly-visible, and inexpensive. I prefer to use plastic levels and squares because they will not damage blades if a cutting tool happens to contact the surface of the level. Plastic levels are also less likely to absorb hot and cold temperatures, and less likely to burn or freeze the user’s hands. The Stanley 24 Inch Level is good for most jobs, and specifically where a 4-foot level will not fit. The attached pictures show a typical use for the 2-foot length. Other uses include leveling appliances, a door’s top jamb, and kitchen cabinets. My use is often outdoors, so I like that the level is bright yellow, easy to see, and less likely to be forgotten on the jobsite. 😊

                                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live Raleigh nc. At first i thought it was to light as compared to my stanley 24 inc aluminum. But was able to use it at my friends house construction. It was as accurate as any they used. After dropping it a few times it held up great. I also used it to reinstall my counter. My wife used it for her decorating jobs. She love how light yet accurate it is. I would recommend it to anyone in constrution.

                                                Light weight
                                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This level have to say it is very light on weight making it easy to manage without loosing proper level. The material since to be strong enough to prevent any bending and loosing straight line leveling. The measuring ruler added to the side comes out very handy as becomes 2 tools in one helping to measure a line of sight. The bevels are very clear and keeps accuracy. The ends are sharp but not sure how well shaped the ends will be with continues use.

                                                  It's a bubble/spirit level with +5 to Durability.
                                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tool itself is not innovative enough to be replacing any old bubble/spirit level in my toolbox. Sure you get the added durability of ABS plastic "protecting" the level but from how I work, I rarely drop a tool like this. I work with straight edges and this is basically the same thing, if a person cannot take care of their tool, it says a lot of things about his workmanship as well.

I really like the measurement scale so i can space them apart accurately. The levels really help to make sure everything is straight and level. It's lightweight so my arms dont get tired afterwards and I would recommend to anyone.
