I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned, but I really appreciate how you mentioned price and country of origin for each of the levels you featured. Great video!
The magneto looks cool but the hardware on the sides makes it not able to lay on its side to use the level. Plumbers use levels this way sometimes to get the face looking up level front to back and side to side at the same time. Like floor drains and cleanouts
I appreciate this video. I'm a pipefitter out of local 72 and this is a argument we seem to have on every job. They use the milwaukee at our school for the apprentices. I'd like to see the stainless level. It would be a great tool for clean room type work
We had 4 of those Milwaukee levels on site in the standup job box abandoned because they were all missing magnets. Strong! but not build to stay in the level.
A guy I worked with had a miwauke he said when thy break take it to Home Depot and trade it in on a new one for free. He said he has done it 9 times idk how true it is
I have the Crunch for the 1” locking grips, and the ability to use standard 1/4” bits. As it’s not legal carry in the UK, looking at disabling the locking mechanism.
Shit that see-through Greenlees got me I plumb a lot of stuff in man if you got to see through level I currently use Flange Wizard knowing that I can drop it from 20 ft and put it back on the column and it's still good imma go look me for the winning greenlease
Checking on the reviews on Amazon for a new torpedo level, from a no name £3 to established tool makers at £18, all were reviewed with inaccurate bubbles. Thought about it, and was just going to buy the cylindrical bubble and use that; instead for now I bought a BandQ own brand which read the same in either horizontal plane, and before unwrapping from its shrink plastic I tested it out for accuracy. Dropped a plumb line making two points on a backboard, and drawing a line between the points. Then set a 90 degree line across the vertical using a protractor. Finally I checked the new level against the horizontal line… and it’s level 👍
I have three of those flange wizard torpedo levels each one reads a slightly different level on the same surface, and 2 of the Milwaukee ones I bought from Home Depot I currently am looking to sell on marketplace because they read very differently placed on the same surface which is unacceptable for me. The only torpedo I have been satisfied with is the discontinued Johnson torpedo.
I have a 5.5in GreenLee but it doesn't say where it's made, just that it's "U.S.A Designed." It also has patent pending on it. It doesn't** have the mirror feature that you mentioned with yours, but it does** have that knob to somehow bend conduits. I'm not familiar with the work required for it, aside from simply leveling something. But it's a useful little gadget. I don't even remember how I got this thing. I think someone gave it to me cause I know I didn't buy it anywhere. Thanks for the insight from your video though, I learned some things. Like the fact that they're called torpedo levels.
I'm not a fan of that Magneto level. Might be perfectly fine, but that riveted sandwich construction does not give me the warm fuzzies. FWIW, I'm a machinist and also do the welding for my employer. I have one of those stronghand levels, and a couple of the Empire. Haven't used the former yet, never seem to have it with me. Nice that you mention the country of origin.
As a Canadian I laughed at the grams per inch chart. We're technically metric but use a sometimes confusing combination of both. Height and weight are imperial but we're clueless as to what that is in metric even though we understand what a kilometre is perfectly well. So on and so on.
those magnets are great until you start accumulating filings. Then they mess up your level if not tended to. The ability to remove the magnet was very important to me

Thanks!
Keep up the videos dude! I love the Charge TTi followed by the Wave and the Mut

Favorite multitool is the leatherman wave + with the ratcheting extension and flat bit kits part of my edc

What do you think of the IRVIN 250 serie torpedo level ?
How did the magnet compare on the Sola?
well done, thank u.
Seen this video was posted 10 month's ago. Looked up but not much to be found and no link to purchase anywhere yet. Maybe sometime later.

Perfect tool presentation/comparison.
Really like the stalwart tool co level wishing to buy one any announcement on the release date
Grams per inch, both metric and imperial.
That's very common in Canada.
Great video.
Drew, I think many of your adoring fans would appreciate a walking the cup tutorial. Thanks Tim

I bought the check point ultra mag.. one drop and it's a wrap. The bubbles are like barely hot glued in. Not a good level at all.
Savage has rounded corners so when you drop it you don't mushroom the corner and throw of the bubble
Is that Stalwart Magneto available yet?
When is the Magneto torpedo level coming out and where can I purchase it?????
Well i didnt know all that about spirit levels ,thanks great video ✔✔

I Luv my Klein torpedo level only one I use/buy
Is there any giveaways with those level ❤
Great video!

My fave MT is anything but that Gerber 😬
I really like the empire but quit carrying it due to the blue vile. Could not see it in low light
Good video, I've found most stronghand tools magnets kinda on the weak side..just sayin
Wicked video man

Heck yes!
More vids!
Thank you :)
Raptor torpedo level???
Do a snub nose multi-tool comparison, please!
I Only buy/use the Klein torpedo level.
It would be nice to get a summary at the end.

Bro the reviews on Amazon for the Flange Wizard SL-100 are really bad. Many reviews saying the bubbles are reliably unreliable, yikes.
Remember guys these are not “trade specific opinions” this list is the law.
We’ve got a real one here! 😂
I would already have bought the stalwart if it had a 90 a 0 a 30 and a 45 vial. Only USA made torpedo level I’ve seen
Leatherman wave+
empire all the way. only one ive bought repeatedly
Your storefront isn’t working
Got it. Should be fixed
That stabila is a $90 level dude
5:51 😂😂😂
Salomon Torpedo Level are the best in the world
Checkpoint is up to $45 now. +$16 in 7 months😡
Haha checkpoint upped their prices
Empire over Stabila
Stabila junk. Might as well buy chinese
Stabila junk
