    Levels for Tight Spaces

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Levels. Levels for Tight Spaces.
    Squeeze these levels into places a standard level would never fit. Their short length and tapered ends make them ideal when you're leveling small parts or working in tight corners. Also known as torpedo levels, they're commonly used by plumbers leveling drains under sinks or by electricians installing components behind electrical panels. Rest them on flat surfaces or fit the side with the V-shaped indentation around pipes and curved shafts.
    Magnetic Levels—Stick to metal surfaces for hands-free leveling.
    Angle Measuring—Measure precise angles while leveling without switching tools. To find the angle of your surface, rotate the angle indicator vial until the bubble is level.
    Pitch Measuring—Level and determine pitch with one tool. The horizontal vial has incremental marks that indicate the incline of surfaces such as drainage pipes, conveyor chutes, and roofs.
    Plastic Housing—While not as durable as aluminum levels, these are a lightweight and economical option.

    Low-Light Levels for Tight Spaces

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Levels. Low-Light Levels for Tight Spaces.
    Level surfaces inside machinery, behind equipment, or anywhere too cramped for light to reach. The vials on these levels illuminate for clear reading without a flashlight. Also known as torpedo levels, their compact size and tapered ends make them ideal when you're leveling short surfaces or working in tight corners. Rest these levels on flat surfaces or fit the side with the V-shaped indentation around pipes and curved shafts.
    Levels with Glow-In-The-Dark Vials—Expose these vials to ambient light to charge them and they'll stay visible in dark areas, no batteries needed.
    Pitch-Measuring Levels with LED Vials—Use the incremental marks on the horizontal vial to find the incline of surfaces while you level. LED lights illuminate one vial at a time, so you can read it clearly without the other lights creating glare.
    Magnetic Levels—Stick to metal surfaces for hands-free leveling.

    Multi-Axis Levels

    Simultaneously check if a surface is level horizontally and vertically, as well as front-to-back. Use one of the three main vials on these levels to determine if your surface is completely flat, upright, or at a 45° angle. Plug in the fourth vial to level two axes at the same time. Use them to level cross-sections of pipe, frames, and other three-dimensional parts.
    Rest them on flat surfaces or fit the side with the V-shaped indentation around pipes and curved shafts.
