It features powerful rare-earth magnets with a patented magnet track that securely attaches the level to any metal surface, preventing them from falling out during use. The integrated thumb screw allows for easy attachment to conduit, enabling precise measurement of angles while bending. Large, high-visibility vials are positioned at four key angles (level, 90, 45, and 30 degrees) and are housed in large top-view windows for convenient readability from multiple angles. The professional-grade, billet aluminum body is finished in a high-visibility orange, making it easy to spot on the jobsite and on conduit. The V-groove design fits the contour of conduit and pipe.

The Klein Tools ACCU-BEND™ Magnetic Level is designed for electricians and plumbers needing precise conduit bending on the job. Its key benefit is the secure magnetic attachment and integrated thumb screw, allowing for accurate angle measurements without manual holding. A minor drawback is its specialized design, which may be less versatile for general-purpose leveling tasks. This torpedo level features powerful rare-earth magnets, a patented magnet track, and a thumb screw for easy conduit attachment, providing accurate readings at four critical angles (level, 90, 45, and 30 degrees) with highly visible vials readable from above.

FAQs
What types of conduit can this level be used with?
The level is designed to work with most common metal conduit and pipe sizes due to its V-groove design and thumb screw. It is recommended to test on your specific material.
Are the magnets replaceable?
The magnets are integrated into a patented track system and are not designed to be user-replaceable. Proper care should maintain their strength.
Can this level be used for general home improvement tasks?
While it can be used for basic leveling, its specialized design with the thumb screw and specific angle vials is optimized for conduit bending. For general tasks, a standard torpedo or block level might be more suitable.
How durable is the aluminum body?
The billet aluminum body is professional-grade and designed to withstand typical jobsite conditions, offering good resistance to impact and wear.
What are the four main angles indicated by the vials?
The four main angles are Level (0°), 90 degrees, 45 degrees, and 30 degrees.
Can I use this level on non-magnetic surfaces?
No, the primary attachment method relies on the strong rare-earth magnets. For non-magnetic surfaces, you would need to use alternative methods or a different type of level.
Troubleshooting
Level not sticking to metal surface
Ensure the metal surface is clean and free of debris, paint, or rust. The surface must be ferrous. Check that the magnets are not damaged.
Thumb screw not gripping conduit securely
Ensure the thumb screw is properly aligned with the conduit. Adjust the screw to apply firm pressure. Verify conduit size is compatible with the V-groove and screw design.
Vials appear to be inaccurate
Ensure the level is placed on a perfectly flat surface for checking the level vial. For angle vials, ensure the level is properly seated and secured. Contact Klein Tools support if damage to vials is suspected.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Secure magnetic attachment prevents accidental drops.
Integrated thumb screw enables hands-free conduit measurement.
Accurate readings for common bending angles (level, 90, 45, 30).
Easy vial readability from multiple angles, especially from above.
Durable construction designed for professional use.
Cons
Primarily designed for conduit bending, less ideal for general leveling.
Magnet strength may vary on certain metal finishes.
Thumb screw requires careful adjustment for optimal grip.
Limited to four specific angles, not a full 360° protractor.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Clean the metal surface (conduit, pipe, or workbench) where you intend to attach the level.
Place the level on the metal surface. The rare-earth magnets will securely hold it.
For conduit bending, position the level against the conduit and tighten the integrated thumb screw firmly but without overtightening.
Compatibility:
Magnets: Compatible with ferrous metal surfaces (steel, iron, etc.).
Thumb Screw: Designed to grip standard conduit and pipe sizes. Test on your specific material if unsure.
Care:
Cleaning: Wipe the level clean with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or vials.
Storage: Store in a dry place. Ensure the magnets are not attracted to other strong magnetic fields, which could potentially weaken them over time. Avoid dropping the level.
