One thing that a lot of people over look is with ANY newly purchased level or speed square or combination square. ALWAYS check them for square and level at home before betting on them for a job. I have returned several speed squares(Milwaukee red) and a couple levels because they weren’t true. Check them!!
I would not use any of the levels. My preference is the 12 inch empire level. I'm a full time handyman, so I needed a level that is a little longer for marking lines, etc.
Yea man. Handyman here too. The torpedo has its place but I almost always grab the empire 12” box style. I also have a 24” and 48” from Lowe’s they are the orange Johnson brand and those have been great. Plus I got them in a clearance type price. I’ve got a 6 foot empire too but I honestly hardly ever use that.
@@jordanlawson6132 I used the 8 inch for a long time so yes they definitely get the job done but the 12 inch does it better. I have a 2ft but the 12 inch can do most of what it can so a rarely use it. The 12inch and 4 ft are my go to for everything. The only reason I would need a 6ft is if I'm trying to level off a cement floor but I rarely do stuff like that so there is no point.
Klein level> Those things are bomb proof and the magnets friggin strong, it doesn't stick it GRIPS!. Damn near every electrician at work has one it's a quality tool.
i’ve had 3 go out of level in short periods of time without being dropped. Loved the level but can’t deal with not being able to trust it when doing electrical work. You flip the level one way and it shows something different then if it’s flipped the other way around. So weird
Same.. but they have been dropped many times building hand rails and platforms. My more expensive stabilas just did the same thing. Thonking of paying shipping to see if they will be replaced under warranty. They are fine in the middle then i turn the level around and it is just shy of the line on both. So its definitely out i just dont know if its enough for them to send me a new one.@@lukelaskowski2941
Sir, get serious about life, no magnetic level has been design to pick up pieces of metal. You better ask the retailer why the make magnetic levels bedore you start ranting about something that is nonsense.
Sir, maybe you should find something else to bitch about. Maybe you should find something else to do with your life instead of going on TH-cam and bitching on creators videos. Oh and while we’re at it, you spelled before wrong.
@@TheToolReviewChanneli do find the klein magnets too strong BUT... that means i never drop them. I like how thr stabila has the extra lines to see how fsr our you are vs thr klein Nd like their vials better BUT... becausw the magnetw are not as strong as the klein they do fall sometimes and my heart sinks when it happens.

Great tip!
The Klein torpedo level is the Only level i use. I install Fire Sprinkler Systems.
Stabila best by far, the magnets only have to support the level it's self not the work piece

The Milwaukee torpedo has really good magnets 🧲
Indeed it does!

@@lukelaskowski2941 idk what to tell ya, I've seen quite few Klein levels that have gone through hell and back again still reliably work

Red one is the best
Try the silver empire billet level and you will change your mind.
