Stabila Type 81 Sm Magnetic Torpedo Level Tool

The first one I received had the magnets protruding out of their place by about 0.010” of an inch so it didn't sit flat. I ordered a replacement and this one had the magnets below flush and properly seated. The milling was also more prominently flat. Dials are VERY easy to read and the best on the market. Stabila if you are reading this, please make a billet version of this with 3 or more magnets. Also, include the holster on this as this version doesn't include it

Strong magnet! Very well made. Stabila is my go to for all levels. I needed this small one to keep handy in my tool belt and it comes very handy with its size and level precision. The super strong magnet is a definite bonus. Clear lens to read the level bubble and extremely durable.

Just what I needed

Worked as it should

Works perfectly as advertised. Just buy it.

This is a quility level. It is made up of metal with the level tube encased in a solid plastic cube. Compared to my other levels, this is deisgned with quility and craftsmanship in mind. as far as the accuracy, i would rely on it more than my other levels as the bubble seems to jump to one side if it's not percisly level, this helps when leveling. It has two small magnets underneeth that are recessed into the level and do not cause any mis-reading. These magnets are very powerfull. you have to pull hard to get it off metal. update: In the end, because one side is not flat, I can't check level for a second level or place a 2x4 over it. The magnet is so hard that I cannot pull it off the peice to see how far off level it is to choose a shim, and frankly, I use the other levels as they are lighter, don't make a loud BANG when they fall. I would have been ok, with not buying this item.

But, if you want a precision instrument which lives up to all the needs of a level, this product is the best. I am a metal sculptor and unbeknownst to most people metal sculpture is heavy and lethal when it isn't installed properly or when the construction is shoddy. Exterior sculpture is susceptible to the elements wind, rain snow and the upheaval of deep frost. So I purchased this level for several reasons the manufacturer's reputation, the rare earth magnets and the inclinator. The magnets are incredibly strong and hold their position on metal surfaces. I checked the level for accuracy it was dead on. It is worth the price so buy it you won't be sorry.

I bought this level to replace a much used, worn out, Check Point Professional level that I've used for 15 plus years. Reading reviews of the Check Point about the magnets falling out and seemingly cheap junk now that they are being made off shore, I felt compelled to look for something else. I use this level at work (42nd year in IBEW) from leveling panel boards etc to mainly bending conduit. It is always something to look forward to when a new tool is had and the Stabila was no exception. I quickly found that having only two magnets at the center of the level is not enough to secure it to conduit while bending short stubs with a hand bender and I was bending one inch steel tube. Later that morning, I was installing and leveling conduits high above the floor using a man lift and did not have a secure feeling the Stabila would not fall off the conduit if jarred, bumped etc. I used it for a couple hours, and is now retired for home use, it is too nice to return for a refund. So I'm back to my trusty Check Point for now, it is truly the best torpedo for my occupation. I might buy another Check Point and see what happens.

Todo está muy bien fabricado, lo recomiendo ampliamente, la potencia de los imanes es muy buena. Y los principal la precisión es excelsa.

Excelente construção e acabamento,único contra seria o posicionamento e a quantidade de imãs,de resto , excelente...

Purchased to replace the same one that was stolen off site. It V is easily the best level i have owned and worth the price

Great level. Everything you expect out of a stabila in pocket size. The only gripe I have is the rare earth magnets. There are only 2 that are spaced too close together and they are not very strong. There should be at least 3 and they should be more spread out. Other than that its accurate, ergonomic and easy to read.

Best torpedo out there in terms of accuracy, quality, and durability. The magnet is extremely powerful, and the build is solid. No adjustable scope or 45 degree scope, but those are finicky and unnecessary. Perfect for finding plumb and level and will last you a lifetime
