Needing a new level, had this one for god knows how long and it's damaged now.

Between these two which is best?

Since I don't plan on working on the Forth Bridge anytime soon the extra vial on the bottom one would be virtually of no use but I wondered if the magnet was stronger on that model and if it ran the full length of the base.


Any info would be helpful
 
I have used the one on the bottom for about 3 years now , and its the only type i would buy , the magnets are much stronger and run the full length , but what i like best is the
" V " groove that makes the bubble sit perfect on the tube all in all a much better level for not much more money.
 
I'm probably behind the times then Phil as I would have guessed either one would be fine but the top one would suit most scaffs. The amount of times I have seen the apprentice level a tranny, telling me it's mint and the level is sitting at 45 degrees is horrendous. Maybe I should make em buy the V one.
 
Why not try a big ben one for a change? Bit more expensive but don't have the magnets that fall out my mate had one looked the nuts,that will be my next one
 
Had 2 of them Bobby and the vials fell out , and one bent after a while without any abuse,
the bottom level dont have any magnets to fall out the whole bottom is magnetized like the big ben level.

Aom that is a problem with young lads they dont have the level sitting flat when they bubble something , but the bottom level has a groove that pulls itself onto the tube square .

Levels

Hi all,

When choosing a level you should look at the body and ensure you have rem n the side. This means rare earth magnet. These are much stronger than normal magnets and will ensure a longer life.
I work for a tools and PPE company, any questions just ask.
 
get the cheapest you cant see it from house and all that bla bla bla!!!
 
Rem my arssse i still got my original non mag type ...ok the vial have faded to clear & the bubble elongated but still works lol....on a serious noe though i was in b& q earlier & they have a new fatmax level with mags & the xtra changable 45dgbubble in silver bargin @ £20
 
Just found this level, some of the lads are using them on sitehttp://scaffmag.com/2014/07/innovations-proview-dragonfly-scaffolders-level/
anyone else used them?
