3" Aluminum Line Level
A compact 3 in. line level in lightweight aluminum, made to hang from a stretched mason's line to check level over a run too long for a standard bubble level.
The open hook resists bending and lets the level slide freely along the line, and the flat bottom lets it double as a small surface level.
Light enough that it won't sag a taut mason's line, which is the main failure mode of a heavier line level.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this sag a mason's line?
No, that's the point of using a small aluminum line level. It's light enough to hang on the line without pulling it out of true.
Can I use it as a regular level too?
Yes, the flat bottom lets you set it on a surface, though its short 3 in. length makes it most useful for line work, not long spans.
How does it attach to the line?
It hangs from an open hook that slides freely along a stretched mason's line, rather than clamping in place.
Do I need more than one on a long run?
One is enough for most fence and footing layouts; some masons hang a second at the far end of a very long line to check for sag at both ends before striking a level line.
