Product Information
Full details
The Stanley Magnetic Pocket Level (87mm) is an essential tool for professional contractors, electricians, and DIY enthusiasts who require quick, reliable leveling in tight spaces. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-visibility vials and a rare-earth magnetic base, allowing for hands-free leveling on metallic conduits, beams, and studs. While it is highly durable and portable, users should note its small 87mm footprint, which is optimized for compact tasks rather than long-range leveling projects.

FAQs
Does this level work on non-magnetic surfaces?
Yes, it can be used on any surface for leveling, but the magnetic base feature will only function on ferrous metals.
Is this tool waterproof?
The level is built for job site durability, but it is not rated as waterproof. Avoid submerging it in liquids.
Can I calibrate the vials if they become inaccurate?
No, the vials are fixed within the moulded frame and are not designed for user calibration.
What is the primary material of the body?
The body is made from a high-impact, durable moulded plastic designed to withstand job site wear.
How accurate is this level?
The level is designed for standard construction tasks; it provides reliable, quick readings suitable for general trade and DIY applications.
Troubleshooting
Level feels loose on metal surfaces
Clean the magnetic base of debris or iron filings that may be preventing full contact.
Vial is difficult to read
Ensure the vial window is free of dust and verify your viewing angle is directly centered on the bubble.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for this tool; it is ready for immediate use out of the packaging. It is compatible with all ferrous metal surfaces such as steel studs, HVAC ducting, and electrical conduits. To ensure the longevity of your Stanley pocket level, wipe the base clean of metal shavings or dust after each use to maintain a flush contact with surfaces. Store the level in a padded area of your tool bag to prevent the vials from coming into contact with sharp objects that could scratch the casing or impact the vial accuracy.
