Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can the 180° rotating vial be locked in position?
A: The rotating vial is designed for smooth manual adjustment with clear graduations but does not have a locking mechanism. It is intended for quick reference rather than calibrated angle holding.
Q: Is the level magnetic?
A: This specific model is not magnetic. Stanley offers other variants with magnetic bases suitable for metalworking or steel construction.
Q: Can I use this level for exterior leveling tasks?
A: Yes. The aluminum construction and sealed vials make it suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
Q: How is the vial visibility in low light?
A: The vials are high-contrast and clear, allowing for easy readings in most lighting conditions. However, for dark environments, a lighted level or laser level might be preferred.
