Amazon.com Review

It’s tempting to try it, but door jambs aren’t always rigid enough top to bottom for plumbing with a standard short level. And, longer levels are too long for leveling sills. Here’s an affordable way to get both levels with one easy purchase. Great for installing doors, headers, sills and thresholds, this level set includes Stabila’s 196 series 78-inch level is ideal for installing door frames, and a 32-inch level for installing headers, sills, and thresholds. Both levels feature a wide-profile design for optimal jobsite durability. With certified accuracy, the levels have both top and bottom readings and sport a new oversized, rubber hand grip design. Rubber pad end caps and wall grips are functional yet removable for flush leveling. Light and strong, these levels are easy to wield yet plenty durable. Clear vials with spring steel hairline indicators mean easy reading. The purchase is covered by a Stabila lifetime warranty. --Brian D. Olson

This review is from: Stabila 37532 Jamber 78-Inch and 32-Inch Aluminum Box Beam Level Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

I am a contractor for 20 years. I have just recently started using Stabila levels and I must say they are worth the money! Yes, they are a little expensive, but then again the work I do is not "low end" so neither should my tools be. These levels are a pleasure to use, they are easy to read and they are accurate! Yes, you can actually see the bubble. The end caps are removable so you can carry a line tight into a corner. The 78" level is a must if you install doors, I find I use it quite often.

4.0 out of 5 stars A solid level set, but I prefer the Plumb-It for door work, August 23, 2006

This review is from: Stabila 37532 Jamber 78-Inch and 32-Inch Aluminum Box Beam Level Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

I generally love Stabilia levels, and I own 5 of them, but for setting doors I prefer to use a combination of a shorter Stabilia (unless it's a French/center meet door situation) and my Plumb-It PIX 5.0. The shorter Stabilia is great for determining how much out of level the floor is (very often the case in older home remodeling situations), while I think the Plumb-It works better than the Stabilia for the vertical jamb legs. The main reason why I prefer the Plumb-It is because it's extendable so it'll fit a smaller sized door (down to 5' like you may encounter for a utility or storage access door) as well as a taller door like the 7' and 8' doors that are becoming more popular on higher end projects. Because it goes from 5' to almost 14' the Plumb-It PIX 5.0 easily fits in the back of my truck whereas the longer Stabilia has trouble. When setting French (center-meet) doors and sliders I use the Plumb-It becase I can set it to the exact width of the opening.

I also use my PIX 5.0 for various framing and trim tasks, but if door hanging is your primary purpose for getting a jamber set, then you'd be better served by the Plumb-It PIX 3.0 or PIX 4.0 since they collapse to shorter lengths yet still extend tall enough for the majority of door work (and taller than Stabilia's 6'8" jamber). Plus they're cheaper.

I don't work for Plumb-It or know anyone who does, I just think they make a cool product and I like that it was designed by a carpenter for carpenters.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Jamber set is must have level combo for hanging doors, August 15, 2006

This review is from: Stabila 37532 Jamber 78-Inch and 32-Inch Aluminum Box Beam Level Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have worked as a high end finish carpenter in the San Fransico Bay Area for about 7 years and I have yet to see a better made level for finish wood work. I used to own a levolution 3 piece combo kit it was a great level kit but no where near the accuracy and precision of a stabila level. After using a stabila I will never buy another brand of level. Between installing cabinets and hanging doors these levels are a must have tool. Thank you Stabila for making quality tools for professional wood workers!!!
