Product Information
Full details
The Stanley FatMax Pro Level Set is designed for professionals and serious DIYers seeking reliable accuracy and durability. Its key benefit is the exceptionally strong box-beam construction and precise acrylic vials offering 0.5mm/m accuracy with a lifetime warranty. A potential caveat is that the level bag, while protective, may have limitations on the number of levels it can comfortably store depending on their sizes.

FAQs
What is the accuracy specification for the Stanley FatMax Pro level?
The Stanley FatMax Pro level features an accuracy of 0.5mm/m in eight orientations, backed by a lifetime accuracy warranty.
How much stronger is the box-beam construction?
The reinforced box-beam construction makes the level up to 5 times stronger than other Stanley levels.
Can I use this level in low-light conditions?
The vials are magnified by 20% for improved visibility, which helps in various lighting conditions. However, for very low light, a portable work light may still be beneficial.
What sizes of levels can the bag hold?
The bag can accommodate sizes such as 600mm, 1200mm, 1800mm, and 250mm (torpedo) levels, or any combination thereof. It also has a dedicated pocket for a torpedo level.
Is the lifetime warranty transferable?
The warranty typically covers defects in materials and workmanship. For specific transferability details, refer to the official Stanley warranty documentation or contact their customer service.
How should I clean the aluminium body?
Wipe the aluminium body with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive materials.
What is the benefit of the shock-absorbing end caps?
The shock-absorbing end caps are designed to protect the level from damage if it is dropped, helping to maintain its accuracy and prolong its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Level appears inaccurate.
Ensure the level is placed on a stable, flat surface. Check that the vials are clean and free from debris. Verify that no part of the level has been damaged from a drop. If damage is suspected or inaccuracy persists, contact customer support regarding the lifetime accuracy warranty.
Vial bubbles are not centered.
Gently rotate the level 180 degrees on the same surface. If the bubble is now off-center in the opposite direction, the surface may be uneven. If the bubble is in the same position relative to the bubble's center, the level itself may be compromised. Clean the vials and re-test. If the issue persists, consider the warranty.
Level bag straps are uncomfortable or difficult to adjust.
Adjust the shoulder strap length to distribute weight evenly. Ensure all buckles and adjusters are properly secured. The hand straps are designed for quick carrying; use the shoulder strap for longer distances.
Small nicks or scratches on the levelling surface.
Minor cosmetic scratches are unlikely to significantly affect accuracy if they do not impede the flat surface contact. Clean the surface thoroughly. If the scratch is deep enough to create a gap when placed on a true surface, it may impact precision. Contact support if this affects your work.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No complex setup is required. The Stanley FatMax Pro Level Set is ready to use straight out of the box. Ensure the level is clean before use.
Compatibility: The included level bag is designed to accommodate a range of Stanley FatMax Pro levels, including common sizes such as 600mm (24 in.), 1200mm (48 in.), 1800mm (72 in.), and 250mm (10 in.) torpedo levels, or any combination thereof. It also features a front pocket specifically for a torpedo scaffold boat level.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the levelling surfaces and vials with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch the surfaces or damage the vial markings.
- Storage: Store the levels in the provided padded bag to protect them from scratches and impacts. Ensure the bag is kept in a dry environment.
- Vial Maintenance: Do not attempt to open or clean the vials. They are sealed units. If a vial appears damaged or is leaking, contact customer support.
- Handling: While durable, avoid dropping the level or subjecting it to excessive force. The shock-absorbing end caps provide protection, but extreme impacts can still affect accuracy.
