Swanson Tool TL041M 6-1/2-Inch Heavy-duty Magnetic Torpedo Level Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Lil' Savage looks like a pretty useful item for the carpenter or serious DIYer. The top has a v-groove to make it easy to hold against a pipe (or an outside corner), there are four vials (30, 45, 90, 0 degrees), four magnets for use with metal studs, and even some kind of clamp for taking readings off bent pipes.
It's well-built out of solid billet. The magnets have held it firm on everything I stuck it to. It even held in place on my truck going down the highway at 50mph!
I like the fact that it can hold itself on round metal pipe and will also attach itself to the end of a pipe for leveling.
While this may not be the cheapest torpedo level out there, it sure is made to last a lifetime. When I'm long gone my children will still get good use out of this level.

Swanson 6-Inch Combo Square (Cast Zinc Body, Stainless Steel Blade and Brass Bolt) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For the price of this combination square it really is a steal. The rule part of the square is made of stainless steel and has easily readable black letters that have been etched into the face of the rule so it won't scratch off. It has a plethora of measurements including 1/8ths inch, 1/16ths, and 1/32nds as well as centimeters. The zinc body snugly houses the level and has a brass cap covering where it was (presumably glued) into place, and it provides decently accurate readings. The scribe has a brass threaded end to keep it from sliding out (a problem I've had with other low cost combination squares). Most importantly of all, the square is just that, SQUARE. I've had several issues with low cost combination squares being off by as much as 1/8th of an inch per foot, but this one is perfectly square. For the price of this combination square I would say it's one of the best on the market.

IRWIN Strait-Line 2035100 9-Inch Cast Torpedo Level Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This level i must say is very solid and will stay true. Magnets work very well. The bubble in the vials separates with the slightest vibration or tap. This is unacceptable from any level in construction use. I am very disappointed in IRWIN as i trust them to make decent tools. I am a commercial carpenter and rely on my hand tools. this torpedo level is ridiculously heavy. I kept trying to loose this level and it kept ending up back in my too bag. I've finally parted with it, and i currently use the "Stabila 25100 10-Inch Die-Cast Rare Earth Magnetic Level" I could not be happier.
