Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

A torpedo level typically is a small, boat-shaped level measuring 6 to 9 inches. The Checkpoint Ultra-Mag 4-Vial G2 Torpedo Level is a professional grade level boasting portability, efficiency, and durability all in one package. If you haven't bought a level in a while, you'll be amazed at how much this dynamo can do. For example, the built-in magnets enable you to position the level on metal surfaces or on the nails in wood studs without worrying about slippage. Also, the large V-groove along the top of the level allows you to rest it solidly on pipes up to 10 inches in diameter. Plus, one end is tapered at 45 degree angle, making it easy to hold the level against a diagonal surface. Other features include a 4-vial system with horizontal, vertical, 45 degree, and 30 degree viewing options and a waterproof/shockproof body (the body comes with a lifetime guarantee, by the way). If you're looking for a basic level at a good price, this item has what you need and more. To boot, it ships in multiple colors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best level I've ever owned, July 31, 2005

I've been an electrician for 15 years and I have owned every level there is to own. I have bent thousands of feet of pipe and I have had the same problem with every level I have owned.Bump the pipe and there goes the level.Hopefully your just on a ladder and not a lift 30' feet in the air or your stopping at Sears on the way home from work to replace it.The only issue I have with this level is getting it off the pipe.The 4 magnets are unbelievably strong.I recomend it to every electrician out there.

1.0 out of 5 stars Level that's not level = Useless!, December 29, 2006

The one thing you expect a level to do is read level. Not the one I got. Checked this level against several other levels I own and it is greater than 1 degree off. Another gripe is that the bubbles are to small and allow to much wiggle room between the marks. I noticed the one in the picture has bigger bubbles so maybe I just got one from a bad batch. Sending it back.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best levels I've ever used, June 18, 2000

This has to be one of the best levels I've used. I'm construction electrician, so my tools tend to take a lot of abuse. It's magnets are very strong you really have to pull, to get it loose, so it won't be falling off when you have your hands full, it's vials are large and easy to read, which you'll appreciate when there isn't alot of light. When I think of the money I've spent on the cheap levels, that have taken a dive from 40' up, I wish I had bought one years ago
