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.

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.

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!!!

This jamber set was an addition to the 24" Stabila level I already had. The levels are dead on accurate and extremely durable. I only wish Stabila sold their levels with the padded case included instead of having to purchase them seperatly.

Psssst... Did you ever notice that "LEVEL" is spelled the same backward as it is forward? So is race car... lol

Anyhoo... Hands down, the levels from the Stabila brand are the BEST I've EVER owned PERIOD! Kapro and Empire were close seconds when factoring in COST... BUT if you want the ultimate and most desirable (ask any REAL contractor), there is NO need to look any further...You have arrived at the pinnacle. From the construction and durability to the accuracy and customer service, the Stabila/s are second to none!

Amazon had this 'jamber' set for $123.00! Wait until it goes on sale again. You WON'T be sorry!

you cant go wrong with these levels, stabila is without a doubt the best level on the market, not to mention they are covered for life, this is a great deal, I've used Stabila's for the last three years and i wont go back, you wont be dissapointed

Stabila makes the best levels. Simple and accurate. Lightweight yet sturdy.

If you ever hangs doors this is a great level. Take care of it and it will last your lifetime and beyond.

I would recommend these levels. They are our standard on the job.

What can one say? If you buy the best how can you complain?

Lifetime warranty on accuracy and the most durable on the market. This brand is a one time purchase. Never let me down, with all 7 of my levels some as old as 10 years.

Do yourself a favor - invest in your work
