Overview
Setting tiles, shelves or window sills on a building site is what this level is made for. Two milled faces sit flat on the work, slip stoppers hold it in place while marking, and the end caps come off for corners.
Two milled measuring faces and handles cut into the profile make it easy to use from either side. Weight and warranty are not in the listing, and the scale is metric.
Who it's for
Tradespeople on site who want a compact level that grips while marking. Buyers wanting a magnetic edge should look at a magnetic version.

Performance notes
Locked vials hold calibration as long as the profile stays straight. The rigid ribbed profile resists flex, and shock absorbing end caps protect the frame from drops.
