Levels, Measuring & Marking Equipment
Precision and Accuracy. As long as there have been builders and engineers there have been units of measurement and tools to make measuring possible, and equally there has been a need to establish a perfectly straight line. Measuring and leveling are essential basics, important to the quality of work produced. No tool kit is complete without a tape measure and spirit level and now many will include a laser measuring system. Laser technology, which since its introduction has offered a very accurate means of measuring and leveling continues to gain ground in precision and simplicity. Even small improvements can make for more efficient tool use and this month we have examples in this feature of new ideas in spirit levels and laser technology. For some jobs the traditional tools are crucial but with new ideas, innovative technology and improved products the retailer is wise to keep up to date and well stocked with a comprehensive range to meet the needs of professionals and the DIY market.

accuracy Making multi-tasking a doddle the Stabila extendable spirit level enables measuring and levelling to be carried out simultaneously, ensuring the tool is a reliable partner when aligning higher and longer constructions. Available in two sizes, the 106T level extends from either 183cm to 315cm or
from 213cm to 376cm and once extended the strong eccentric clamp secures the level in its its extended state guaranteeing a high level of accuracy to within 1mm. The patented design of the 106T features an extremely strong double-chamber
profile with one horizontal and two vertical vials, while the extendable section of the level is held in a entirely sealed telescope system, for added strength and protection. Altogether these features ensure the level is an extremely robust, durable tool that is an essential piece of kit for any tradesperson. A magnetic and non-
magnetic version of the 106T are available, with the non- magnetic level having two plates to hold spacers, enabling the level to bridge uneven areas on the application. This makes it particularly suitable for use when measuring and levelling lathing and piping. On the magnetic version these plates are replaced with Rare Earth Magnets, making it ideal for use in steel construction work. Electostatically powder
coated for maximum safety and with soft profile grips for ease of handling, the 106T extendable spirit level from Stabila will ensure precise and accurate measuring and levelling on jobs large and small. The Stabila 106T
Extendable Level is available from Brian Hyde.

Empire True Blue Levels This isn’t a change from yellow liquid to blue. This is the start of a revolution. It has been independently proven that the Empire new True Blue® vials have maximum accuracy and superior durability. For years, Empire has manufactured the most accurate vials on the planet and now, they have pushed their technical advantage even further. Combining world-class industrial design, advanced manufacturing techniques, and optic science, creating the next generation of levels. The secret to a faster, more accurate read? Two dark blue bands (patent pending) at the ends of the vial highlight the bubble. The darkened edges create a more
defined bubble, making the level much easier to read, even in low light situations. As Empire state – ‘just compare True Blue® versus an old-school yellow vial and you’ll immediately see the difference’. Empire True Blue Levels are warranted to be free of imperfections in materials and workmanship. With the Proper Care, this level will be accurate for your lifetime.
