Ratings & Reviews for TOUGHBUILT Aluminum 9-in 2 Vial Magnetic Torpedo level

My favorite level

This level with the led lighting is great. Even when in a poorly lite place this level makes it easy to use. This is my favorite level from here on out. The lighting really helps with accuracy because you can see the lines easily.

Very solid, high quality level

The ToughBuilt 48 in Lighted Magnetic Level is a very solid, high quality level. The precision milled surfaces provide a large surface area to get a precise reading. The magnets are strong and pocketed into the surface to ensure that the milled flat surface touches first while still providing a very strong magnetic surface. The level is quite substantial so it is a good thing it has quality bumpers in case you smash it on something. The outside of the center vial is curved to magnify the reading...

Love the lights on this sturdy level

This is a really nice quality 9” level. The 2 bubble vials are LED lit and they are sufficiently bright- really helps me since I have vision issues. I really love the lights. The battery compartment is waterproof, although the rubber gasket makes removing the cover a challenge as it sticks. The cover is hard to remove, I used an allen wrench in the bolt hole to pry it off. They should add a notch like they have on the larger 24” model and use captive bolts. The on/off switch doesn’t l...

Loved it but wish the light was brighter

Well built, has rubber ends to aid in damaging from hitting things. Strong magnets to hold in place very well. My only minor complaint is the lighting is dim and while perfect for some dark situations, I’d wish they had a brighter mode when toggling the power option.

Heavy Duty!

This is a heavy duty level with extra features like a three way light switch to light individual level areas. Good magnetic bottom. I only had standard size light weight level, so this is definitely an upgrade to be able to check larger areas.

Nice laser measurer

Great laser measurer. Got yhis and a 48" illuminated level review reversed. Both great! Very accurate. Verified with tape measure and this is very fast and easy to read.

high quality level

fantastic quality built sturdy magnetized and individual guages light up at the touch of a button in shadowy lite areas.Every thing about this level screams quality.Pleasure to own.

Heavy Duty

Super strong magnets will hold it to metal surfaces and lighted LED provides extra light in dark places leaving you hands-free. Heavy Duty - Commercial quality at residential prices

Love the light feature

I have a couple spaces in my house where I need to hang art, yet the lighting is not great. This level solved that problem. The LED lights on the 2 vials make it easy to see the bubble. I have not needed the magnets yet, but did test them to discover there is a strong magnetic pull. I even like the size of this. It's easy to throw in a bag when I need to use it elsewhere. In my opinion, this could be the PERFECT LEVEL!

Durable and multi-functional 48" level

This level is very durable, and has very nice features. It is a bit "heavy", but that's what makes it so durable. There are magnets which help secure it to non-horizontal surfaces. The magnet is quite powerful and requires a good tug to remove the level from where it's attached. There's a battery case and it takes 2 AA batteries which come with the level. There's a rubber gasket under the battery cover to protect it from moisture, so this level can probably be used in the rain, or other wet ...

Ver Handy

I was very impressed with how well built this level seems to be. It is small enough to be easy to handle yet big enough to be easy to read. It is really nice to have the lighted bubbles to use when checking the level of your project. The magnet on the base is nice if your working with metal, but it is kind of a pain keeping metal filings off of it if you set it down where you have been drilling or grinding metal. I am pretty sure that this will be my go to level for small jobs in the future.

I love this level!

This is a high quality, sturdy and compact level that has helpful features. It’s 9 1/2” l x 2” h x 1” d. It easily fits in a toolbox. Both bubbles can be lighted by pressing a button, which is good if you’re working in a darker area, like in a basement or under a cabinet. I love that it has a magnet because I have had difficulty holding the level in place when trying to check vertical spaces. The magnet is really strong too. It’s too small for leveling things like walls, but perfect...

Great features

I was very happy with the quality of this level. Everything from the vials to the magnets is engineered with usefulness and durability in mind. The lights make reading the bubble so much easier. I found it useful when I hung a shelf and I know I will get years of use from this item.

Perfect level for over 65 or sight impaired

This level is great for folks who use readers and find it difficult to read a level sometimes because of poor lighting. The device has a light making it easy to read. It is solidly made and has a very strong magnet built into the wide base. The 2 AAA bateries were already installed. The only drawback is for a small level it is a little heavy, but durable.

Close but no cigar

Has a very well made, durable aluminum frame. The packaging makes a point of the plastic “shock absorbing end-caps, but I found them annoying because they have rounded edges, so it cannot be used very well to check for 90 degrees from a vertical position on a flat surface (see photo). I found that the small vile which is used when the level is in the vertical position is not completely accurate because when I compare it to the horizontal vile on the identical surface, they do not agree with ea...

Strong Level

This is a heavy tool to hold up overhead for an extended time, but the magnets are strong. The level lines are easy to see and read with the added lights. Rubber bumper guards offer added protection. Seems durable and well built. First time using a level this long.

TOUGHBUILT - 48-in Lighted Magnetic Box Level

Undoubted the best level I have ever seen. Magnets on the bottom if using on metal. A button to push which lights up the Vials for easy viewing Very sturdy. Light weight but heavy duty.

Heavy

This is one beefy level. It has 4 sets of magnets that I’m sure add to the weight of the level, but they don’t hold it in place against a vertical smooth surface. The lighted level tubes are nice, but they turn on one at a time. It would be more convenient if they were all just on or off. This level is pretty, and has some good features, but it’s just to heavy.

Long and strong

I put up a 65” tv and used my toughbuilt 48” magnetic lit box level, to put it up properly and as leveled as it could be done, it was very easy to level with this big monster, plus I kept the level on the mounting plate for the tv once I was hooking the tv onto the mounting plate, the LED light was easy to see if I had done my job correctly, I love the bright colors and the silver frame, makes it very attractive on your tool wall, one other thing the rare magnets are really strong and hold on we...

Heavy!

With heavy duty tools usually comes more weight, and this level is no exception. It tipped my postal scale at just under 5 lbs, which is extremely heavy for a 4 ft level. If you are just using it occasionally it is great, but if you are frequently working up high or over your head, I would opt for a lighter level. However, this level is built to last. Magnets are strong and it just feels tough. It has shock resistant ends. The light feature is cool, but unless you are utilizing it at night I’m ...
