EMPIRE EM71.8 Professional True Blue Magnetic Box Level, 8"

Very good and durable level, good for slab plumbing. Pitch reader is great

This is a daily use for me as a scaffold worker. The magnets are good quality and the slim design is great for saving room on my tool belt. The open spaces in the middle make it easy to apply a tool tether for working at heights/erecting hanging scaffolds.

This level is exceptionally well-designed and offers remarkable functionality. Unlike many other levels that rely on adhesive rubber bases for magnetism, this one utilizes rare earth magnets, ensuring durability in various environments. The color scheme is superior to the green standard, enhancing readability and brightness. The intuitive interface and user-friendly design make it an excellent tool with exceptional capabilities.

(I use this level quite a bit, and I like it. But I have to say I find the built-in magnets kind of annoying. I know working with steel framing it is useful to have magnets in the level, but for my purposes all it does is pick up every metal screw, nail, and anything else that might be around. I know that dropping a magnet can reduce its strength, but that procedure might not be so wise considering this is a level. I just wish they were not there. Other than that it is a great little level.) Had the Stabila for a good 25 years and I have no idea where it went. Was going to buy another and got sticker shock. So I did what I always do, and that is scour the internet reading reviews. People like Stabila, for good reason. But quite a few liked this torpedo level as well. Made in the USA is a nice added perk. Very reasonably priced so I ordered one. I mostly use it for tile work, but I just grabbed it yesterday to check a windowsill as I was installing some windows. For checking level I think it is very good. I'm not all that thrilled for checking plumb. The vial is so small I don't trust that I have things perfect, so I stick with just using it for level. It does that really well. Considering for plumb I have 2', 4' 6' and 6'8" levels, plus a laser, I really don't need the little one for checking it. I think it is a bargain in comparison to the competition out there. And the first thing I ever do with any level is check where the bubble is, twirl it, and the bubble should be exactly the same distance in the other direction. I even do that for levels I have dropped too many times and can't adjust. Take the two readings and the average should be perfect. Nice level at a really good price.

The level is Saturday and looks like it will hold up. The magnets are good, but not super strong. The blue vials seem strange at first but work just as well as the green ones.

Quality made.

Empire is high quality but this topedo level the sights are small i will use it as a spare.

Works great for places that are too short for conventional levels. Very accurate when put on top of my empire level.

Very long arrival time but the product is great.

It is beautifull made, a joy to look at. But no as accurate as you could expect at this price. Turn it on the same place 180 degrees and it should read the same but doesn’t. I expected more.

Great level. Everyday carry for sure.

Muy bueno, compacto y buena calidad, en el diseño falto algún agujero para poder sujetarlo con un cordón cuando se hacen trabajos en altura

Acabamento impecável. Produto excelente
