Stanley - Shock Resistant Torpedo Level - 43-511
The Stanley 43-511 is a 9 in. torpedo level built for tight spots a full-size level can't reach, with 3 vials so it reads level, plumb and 45 degrees from the same tool. A magnetic base lets it stand hands-free on steel studs, pipe and duct.
The aluminum frame and rubber end caps are built to shrug off a drop on a job site, and an open, top-read center vial keeps the bubble visible without crouching to eye level.
Features and Common Uses
- 9 in. shock-resistant aluminum frame with rubber end caps to absorb job-site drops
