    Level horizontal surfaces in two directions at the same time with the highest degree of accuracy. The highly sensitive glass vials on these levels sit perpendicular to one another – place them on the corner of platforms and surface plates to check if they’re tilting sideways, forwards, or backwards.
    Levels with Calibration Certificate—When precision readings are required for quality control or by regulation, use a level that includes a calibration certificate traceable to NIST. The certificate states that the level has passed a test for accuracy, so you can be confident your readings are correct and consistent.
    Cast Iron Base—Heavy cast iron keeps your level stable on surfaces and won't contract or expand in extreme temperatures.
    Granite Base—Granite chips off instead of denting or deforming when dropped. It also won’t corrode in wet environments like cast iron or steel, so the base always stays accurate.
    Starrett—These levels are machined in the U.S. by Starrett, one of the most trusted names in precision measuring tools.

    Digital Two-Axis Precision Levels

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Levels. Digital Two-Axis Precision Levels.
    The fastest way to check if a surface is tilted sideways, backwards, or forwards. These levels have a highly sensitive sensor that checks alignment in two directions at the same time. This keeps you from having to repeatedly reposition your level when inspecting surface plates, platforms, and worktables. When you need to use these levels under machines or in tight spaces between parts, connect them to your smart device via Bluetooth to read measurements on the app.
    In addition, the V-shaped indentation on the base means you can rest them on flat and curved surfaces alike. These levels also have a false zero setting lets you set any position as a reference point when you need to replicate angles on multiple surfaces.
    Vibration-Measuring Levels—Track, record, and analyze vibrations on a real-time graph. Use these levels to detect and prevent small movements that could impact the accuracy of precision machines or create misalignments and imbalances over time.
    Levels with Calibration Certificate—When precision readings are required for quality control or by regulation, use a level that includes a calibration certificate traceable to NIST. The certificate states that the level has passed a test for accuracy, so you can be confident your readings are correct and consistent.

    Multiple Dot Laser Levels

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Laser Levels. Multiple Dot Laser Levels.
    Project accurate level references onto walls and ceilings to hang light fixtures or install pipe. These lasers have four vials to verify the level, plumb, and square reference points are accurate. Because they’re red, the lasers are best viewed indoors. They have a screw-on mount to secure to a tripod, or you can use the magnetic base to stick them to equipment for quick checks. A V-groove on the body creates stability on curved surfaces, such as pipe or conduit. They’re powered by disposable batteries, so they’re portable and easy to use when you’re not near an outlet.

    Combination Six Crosshair Line Automatic Leveling Laser Levels

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Laser Levels. Combination Six Crosshair Line Automatic Leveling Laser Levels.
    No need to reposition these lasers as you work around your room—crosshairs on every surface give you all the reference points you need. They are a good choice for level, plumb, and square applications, such as aligning doors and windows on multiple walls. If you set them on a surface, they level themselves within about 4° and indicate when they are out of level. You can turn this function off when you want to make sure your crosshair is level with something other than the Earth.
    Secure them to a tripod using the threaded mount or use the strong magnetic base to attach them to equipment. They come with a magnetic target, which you can mount in your space to reflect the laser beam to increase its visibility in dim conditions and at far distances.

    5 Dots (Back View)

    Level equipment with confidence—in addition to a crosshair, these lasers also project plumb dots, so you know the laser is in the right spot. They’re an upgrade from a standard crosshair laser while remaining simpler than lasers with multiple crosshairs. Use these lasers to precisely install square elements, such as doors and windows. The crosshair extends along your wall, so you don’t have to reposition the laser often as you work around your room. If you set them on a surface, these lasers level themselves within about 4° and indicate when they are out of level. You can turn this function off when you want to make sure your crosshair is level with something other than the Earth.
    Secure them to a tripod using the threaded mount or use the strong magnetic base to attach them to equipment. They come with a magnetic target, which you can mount in your space to reflect the laser beam to increase its visibility in dim conditions and at far distances.
    2 Dots—Levels with two laser dots help you verify your installation is plumb with reference points above and below the tool. These red lasers are best for indoor environments, since they’re dimmer than green lasers.
    5 Dots—Levels with five laser dots help you verify that your tool is positioned correctly in multiple dimensions with reference points above, below, behind, and to the sides of the tool without repositioning your laser. These green lasers appear up to 10 times brighter than red lasers, so they’re easier to see outdoors or in bright indoor lighting, as well as from far away.

    Digital Precision Levels

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Levels. Digital Precision Levels.
    You won’t need to choose between precision or convenience with these levels. Their highly sensitive sensor accurately determines level, even when placed on vibrating machinery and equipment. Clearly read the high-contrast display in any lighting conditions – no need to squint to read vials. They stabilize in five seconds after you position them, so you can quickly check the alignment of one part and move on to the next item. You can also view the angle and slope of a surface without a separate tool. When you need to use these levels under machines or in tight spaces between parts, connect them to your smart device via Bluetooth. The free app lets multiple users view readings remotely.
    In addition, the V-shaped indentation on the base means you can rest them on flat and curved surfaces alike. These levels also have a false zero setting lets you set any position as a reference point when you need to replicate angles on multiple surfaces.
    Granite Base—Granite chips off instead of denting or deforming when dropped. It also won’t corrode in wet environments like cast iron or steel, so the base always stays accurate.

    Set these lasers on any surface, and they'll level themselves within about 4°. Whether you’re hanging a drop ceiling or aligning bench tops, they project accurate level references to make sure your installation will be at the right height. You can also mount them in a few different ways. They have a threaded insert to attach to a tripod (sold separately). Or use the magnetic base, which is strong enough to hold even on vibrating equipment.
    Red Laser—Red lasers are best for indoor environments, since they’re dimmer than green lasers.
    Green Laser—Green lasers appear up to 10 times brighter than red lasers, making them easier to see outdoors or in bright indoor lighting, as well as from far away.
    5 Dots—Lasers with 5 dots help you verify your installation is straight, level, and plumb at the same time. This prevents you from having to reposition the level frequently, so you can work faster.
    Strap Mount—Lasers with a strap mount can be secured on poles and ladders.
