Levels with Rulers

Align and measure at the same time with these levels that have rulers on the front and side. The side ruler has graduation marks that start at zero in the middle of the ruler, making it easy to find the center of an item. Line up the ruler so the increments are the same on both sides of the object you are measuring. Rubber pads prevent slipping.

Multi-Plane Precision Levels

Square

Triangular

Straight

Check the accuracy of horizontal and vertical surfaces with these precision-machined levels. They have two highly sensitive vials set at 90° angles for checking two planes at the same time.

Levels with heat-resistant insulation are protected from heat transfer that may affect level sensitivity.

V-groove provides stability on curved surfaces.

Multi-Plane Precision Levels with Calibration Certificate

Square

Triangular

Straight

These levels come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy. They are precision-machined and check the accuracy of both horizontal and vertical surfaces simultaneously with two highly sensitive vials set at 90° angles.

Levels with heat-resistant insulation are protected from heat transfer that may affect level sensitivity.

V-groove provides stability on curved surfaces.
