Empire Level 460-36 36-Inch Aluminum Speed Level

Product Description

Amazon.com

At first glance, the 460-36 Aluminum Speed Level by Empire Level doesn’t appear to be very special, but look closer and you’ll notice that it has a unique triangular-shaped frame. The bottom edge of the tool resembles a conventional I-beam level, but its upper edge comes to a point, forming a sharp angle. This pointed edge allows the level to be used as a precision cutting guide, which is especially useful when trimming wallpaper. Both edges of the level are marked with easy-to-read inch graduations for fast, accurate measuring, marking and cutting.

There are very few home-improvement jobs that don’t require a level to determine if surfaces are perfectly level (horizontal) or plumb (vertical). And at 36 inches long, the Speed level is more accurate than an 18-inch level, but easier to use and carry than a 48-inch level.

The 460-36 Speed Level has a durable anodized aluminum frame that won’t corrode or rust. It has three impact-resistant vials: two for reading plumb, and one for reading level. --Joseph Truini

4.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" for hanging pictures, September 9, 2009

I also hang artwork for a living. This level saves time. The reason I give it 4 and not a 5 stars is the fact that the numbers wear off pretty quick. To fix this I spray the level's numbers with a few coats of clear polyurethane. This level the blue 460-36 is an improvement to the old gold 450-36 which didn't have the "0" center reading at the center of the level which is needed to measure out to your hardware marks.

This unique level is the #1 tool for my art installation business. It gives me the most accurate measurements of any level on the market. I always order 3 or more. The only problem has been the numbers rubbing off too quickly.

I use this level to hang mirrors, art work, curtain and drapery rods, shelving, etc. It makes those tasks so easy. I have since bought one for each of my son-in-laws who kept borrowing mine. You will love it.
