FAQs
What materials are the levels made from?
The levels are constructed from high-quality, durable, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy.
Can the magnetic level attach to non-metal surfaces?
No, the magnetic feature only works on ferrous metal surfaces like iron and steel.
What is the length of the measuring tape?
The set includes a 5-meter (approximately 16.4 feet) measuring tape.
What angles can be measured with the bubbles?
The set includes bubbles for verifying 45, 90, and 180-degree angles.
How do I use the string lines for leveling?
The string lines can be stretched taut between two points and used as a visual guide for alignment. You can use them to establish a straight line for construction or decoration.
Is this set suitable for professional construction sites?
Yes, the durable construction and included tools make it suitable for professional use by builders, carpenters, bricklayers, and scaffolders.
How should I clean the spirit levels?
Wipe them clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Troubleshooting
Magnetic level not sticking securely
Ensure the magnetic surface of the level and the target surface are clean, dry, and free from metal shavings or debris. The target surface must be ferrous (iron or steel).
Measuring tape not retracting smoothly
Check the tape for kinks or bends. Gently pull the tape out fully and allow it to retract slowly. If the issue persists, inspect for dirt or obstructions within the housing.
Bubble in spirit level is not centered for a level surface
Verify the surface is indeed level using another calibrated tool. Ensure the spirit level itself is clean and has not been dropped or subjected to extreme force which could misalign the vial.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This set requires no complex setup. The individual tools are ready for immediate use upon unboxing. The magnetic level attaches to any clean, flat ferrous metal surface. The measuring tape extends and retracts with its built-in mechanism. String lines can be secured using appropriate fasteners or clamps (not included).
Compatibility: The magnetic feature of the spirit level is compatible with steel and iron surfaces. The measuring tape and string lines are universally compatible with standard measuring and alignment tasks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe down all tools with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove dust and debris. Avoid harsh solvents.
- Storage: Store the set in a dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a tool bag, to prevent damage and corrosion. Ensure the vials in the spirit levels are not exposed to extreme temperatures or impacts.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the measuring tape for damage to the blade or retraction mechanism. Ensure the bubbles in the spirit levels remain clear and free from moisture.
