Type 200 High-Performance Level, 48 inch, Cat. Number 37448

I liked this so much that I added a 24 inch and torpedo level along with a case. Good design, easy to use, and true.

The level arrived on time! And is a great level to use every day! I use it to lay brick

Back in my days of being a full-time carpenter we always had Stabila levels on the job-site. One hot summer day we put up a new wall on a second story of the house we were building, and I accidentally kicked our 6-foot Stabila level off the scaffolding giving it a 10 foot nasty fall to the ground. The level took a beating hitting a tree stump first, then hitting on the ends before landing against the concrete foundation. We checked the level after picking it up off the ground...and it read level horizontally and vertically. Since that day in the hot sun after watching that level having a nasty fall approximately 10 feet to the ground, Stabila levels have been my go-to levels. They are tough levels with great dependability, you get what you pay for.!

I've been building with aluminium for twenty years now and I have been through my share of levels. This one is by far the best. By farAluminum is very unforgiving because it is perfectly straight and anything shy of perfectly level and plumb sticks out like a sore thumb.I got to a point where I felt that I deserved to have the best level that money could buy, and after much research, I landed on this one. Good choice.This level is nice and bright for easy location, and the vials are nice and bright for easy reading. It is a little heavier than any that I have had prior, but I like the feel of it in my hand. It kind of lends a subconscious confidence in it's purpose. I could, however, see how someone may prefer a lighter level for easier handling while up on ladders and whatnot. It just means having to buy more levels over time as the lighter the level the more frequently they will lose true.With the fantastic lifetime warranty and replaceable rubber ends this decision was easy to make. If level and plumb pay your bills, or you just like to have the best, this is likely your best choice.I would say that I will always buy Stabila, but this will, barring theft, likely be the last one I will ever have to buy (although I would like to have the mini for those tight areas). Stabila for me for life.

Have these in all my service vans and at home in my personal tools. Excellent quality and very accurate.

My husband uses it everyday. Very accurate, easy to read , very durable. Definitely worth it!

They really do make the best levels. Sure they cost more but it’s cheaper than having to start a project over because you used a bad level. Invest now and save later. Although, I do prefer the 72” model.

The level is made of metal (presumably aluminum), and is clearly machined to be perfectly straight, so it would serve well as a straight edge as much as a level. The grips and end pieces are made of quality non-slip rubber. The handles in the center of the level are big enough to accept hands wearing gloves. The bubble appears to be encapsulated in a yellow vial, which in turn appears to be molded into solid plastic. The chance of the vials leaking or being damaged is unlikely. The product is labeled "Made in Germany", but that's obvious just from the quality. In fact, I like this so much I'll probably wind up buying the 24/59" level pack as well.
