Product Information
Full details
This 400mm CK Tools Spirit Level is designed for tradespeople and DIYers needing precise leveling in various conditions. Its key benefit is the durable, lightweight aluminum construction combined with highly accurate, unbreakable vials. A potential caveat is its specific 400mm length, which may require longer models for larger projects. Key features include a luminous horizontal vial, shockproof vials, and metric graduations for ease of use.

FAQs
What does 'box-section aluminium' mean?
Box-section aluminium refers to the profile of the aluminium, which is hollow and rectangular, providing increased strength and rigidity compared to a solid bar of the same weight.
How accurate is this spirit level?
The spirit level has a high accuracy of +/- 0.5mm per metre.
Are the vials replaceable if damaged?
The vials are designed to be virtually unbreakable and are guaranteed leakproof for three years. They are not user-replaceable; if a vial is significantly damaged, replacement of the spirit level is recommended.
Can I use this level in direct sunlight?
While the level is durable, prolonged exposure to intense direct sunlight is not recommended, as it can potentially affect the spirit fluid in the vials over a long period. It is best used for its intended purpose and stored appropriately.
What are the dimensions of this specific model?
This model is 400mm (16 inches) in length and features 1 vertical and 1 horizontal vial.
Is this spirit level magnetic?
The product description does not indicate that this spirit level is magnetic.
What is the warranty period for the vials?
The vials are guaranteed leakproof for three years.
Troubleshooting
Bubble in vial not centered when the surface is level
Ensure the spirit level is placed on a truly flat surface. If persistent, the vial may be damaged or require recalibration (professional service recommended for recalibration).
Luminous vial does not glow
Expose the luminous vial to a strong light source for a few minutes to 'charge' its glow. The luminescence is temporary and designed for low-light conditions, not complete darkness.
Surface marks on the aluminium body
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This spirit level requires no setup. It is ready for use straight out of the packaging. Simply place it on the surface you wish to measure and observe the bubble in the vials.
Compatibility: This tool is compatible with most standard construction and DIY materials. Its primary function is leveling, making it suitable for use on wood, metal, plasterboard, and masonry.
Care: To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your spirit level:
- Cleaning: Wipe the level clean with a soft, damp cloth after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish or vials.
- Storage: Store the spirit level in a dry place, ideally using the integrated hanging hole to keep it away from potential damage.
- Vial Care: While the vials are virtually unbreakable and leakproof, avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or prolonged direct sunlight, which could affect the spirit fluid over time. Do not attempt to open or repair the vials.
