A 5" spirit level isn't going to be highly accurate. But when you're working in tight spaces a small level is better than nothing at all. This unit came in handy when I added some built-in DVD storage shelves in my living room between the wall studs. DVD boxes are only 5-1/2" deep, and leveling the shelves was a head-scratcher until this thing came up in my Amazon searches. With a bit of tapping to get the bubble to settle after small changes the pocket level got the job done.

Interestingly enough, I got a surprising amount of use out of the magnet even though I hadn't considered it when buying the unit. An open wall cavity is just a magnet (pun intended) for dropped nails, and a decent magnet helps greatly in fishing them out. The unit's magnet is more than adequate for grabbing dropped 8d nails.
