Irwin Tools 1794482 Magnetic Post Level

I found this worked perfectly for my little project. I only needed this to level some wooden 4 x 4 posts used for a privacy patio fence. It was very precise and easy to use and I could not be happier with the results. You can hold it on the post by hand for spot level checking or you can attach it to the post for easy hands free level checking. It is made of plastic and is very light, which is good but not sure how well it would hold up in a professional's tool kit. Not something I would want to just recklessly toss in a box but for DIY projects, it works great and has a price practical for limited projects. You attached it to a wooden 4 x 4 post by using a rubber band, which is included but as you might guess, a rubber band will not be all that durable. Mine has lasted for a couple of days and is showing some wear and tear but the good news is that rubber bands are not that hard to replace. Others have suggested using a short bungee strap to replace the rubber band. For prolonged use, you might want to come up with a longer lasting solution to attach this but then again, maybe not. A rubber band is a pretty easy thing to use as long as you have one around. It has magnetic strips on the back to attach to metal post and I will say that the strips did not appear to have a very strong magnetic pull to it. The magnetic strips are on the backside, located on all four sides and on the bottom and top so there is some strength in numbers but it will take a good deal of metal surface available for the strips to connect with for the hold to be efficient. I will say that this did not hold well on the smaller rounded posts on my own 40 year old chain link fence. By it's design, the larger the metal post to attach this to, the better holding power the magnetic strips will have. My experience however, was with wooden posts so I will let someone else evaluate this on metal post functionality. There are better post level tools out there, for me though, especially for wooden posts and the smaller DIY projects, for the price and performance alone, I would highly recommend this post level.

It's a post level and it works.

This post leveler is awesome! It really saved me a lot of time and energy when setting my 4x4 posts. It's really easy to use, super sturdy, high quality and lightweight. The accuracy of the level is spot on. This is something that all DIYers need. Great product!

This little level is super helpful when you’re trying to set posts straight without guessing. It wraps around the post and lets you see level from two sides at once, which saves time. The magnets are strong enough to hold it in place on metal, so you don’t have to keep holding it. It’s small, easy to use, and does exactly what you need for fence posts or anything vertical.

works great

Item works excellent for the price. Yellow band that is used to secure level to post will eventually stretch out and snap but a regular rubber band will work for a replacement.

Measures up true. Easy to work with. Doesn't come with a rubber band.

Works well, like the magnetic aspect

Ein wirklich tolles und nützliches Werkzeug. War über die grösse erstaunt,dacjte es wäre kleiner. Aber umso besser.

Me gusto el producto xq facilita el trabajo cuando se quiere poner a nivel algo metálico. Me hubiera gustado que tuvieran un imán más fuerte como los de neodimio.

The Irwin Tools 1794482 Magnetic Post Level is a must-have for anyone setting posts or framing. The magnets hold firmly, freeing up your hands, and the readings are precise every time. Durable construction and easy to read vials make the job faster and simpler. Excellent quality—Irwin nailed it again!

This is such a great tool, I don't know why we didn't get it before. It is so much easier to level a post with by using this tool that attaches to the post and shows the level of the 2 sides at the same time. I would recommend this post level.

no son buenos imanes, la idea es interesante pero esta pobremente construido.
