Description
This tool is a Stabila Type 196-2 professional spirit level measuring 48 inches (120 cm) in length. The level features a rigid rectangular aluminum frame finished in Stabila’s signature yellow coating and includes integrated hand grips for improved handling during layout and installation work. Multiple precision vials are set into the frame for horizontal and vertical leveling, allowing the user to check surfaces, framing members, and structural components for plumb and level alignment.
The Type 196-2 series is known for its durable construction and high accuracy, commonly used in carpentry, masonry, framing, and general construction work. The frame incorporates Stabila’s removable end caps with a stopper-style Sure-Grip design that helps prevent slipping when marking lines along walls or surfaces. The sealed acrylic vials are calibrated to provide accurate readings in both horizontal and vertical orientations.
This example is marked “Made in Germany” and displays the Stabila brand along the body with accuracy markings of approximately ±0.029° (±0.5 mm per meter). The level shows normal cosmetic wear consistent with shop or jobsite use but remains a heavy-duty professional measuring tool designed for long-term reliability.
