Empire Level 841.6 6-Inch Magnet Billet Torpedo Level

made overseas

Always my go-to. I have to keep buying them because other trades steal mine before they even get a chance to break.

seems well made, good color and feel. I havent confirmed its accuracy yet, however, and that is the reason dêtre, so take my 4 stars with a grain of salt.

This level is advertised as being Made in USA. It is NOT. The package clearly says Vials made in USA, Body made in Taiwan, Assembled in Taiwan A case of false advertising and the main reason for the middling rating. The level looks stout enough but then so do the similar ones from the competition. At least PART of this one is USA made so I suppose thats a plus of sorts but they should advertise it as such, not as a Made in America product.

I love this new level. Its solid for one. The other level that I had was also an empire but a bigger type that I really liked. This one has 3 neodynium magnets that hold strong when leveling pipe or strut. its well made and accurate too. The slimmer profile lets it fit in my tool-pouch easily and the magnets are great for picking up metal shavings or for temporarily magnetizing other tools like screwdrivers and such. Other cheaper magnets have a magnetic plasticized strip that doesnt hold well after a while and gets gouged up. Serious about pipe? Invest in a better level.

Ive seen several of these on the job site. Because of the way its built, it wont get knocked out of alignment. Some of the blue has been scraped off, but thats fully expected. Maybe a bit heavy to use the no-dog function, but well within the realm of possibility

Your site depicts this level as Made in USA. However when I received it, the package states that only the spirit bubbles are from USA. The rest is made and put together in Taiwan.

One of the Magnets fell out after a few months of use.. I tried to find an alternative to the Checkpoint level that I loved.. (Dropped it down a shaft) Empire may look similar but the quality is definitely not up to par with Checkpoint.

Great item and well made at a very good price. Like the ones in the good stores but a better price and delivered.

Very good level
