Stanley 42-264 Magnetic Torpedo Level 9 Inches

Product Description

The STANLEY 42-264 is a magnetic torpedo level designed for trade professionals working on pipes, conduit, duct, and other ferrous surfaces where a standard level would slip. The 9-inch aluminum body keeps the tool lightweight and durable in jobsite conditions. A top-read vial orientation lets technicians check level without repositioning, and the unit delivers an accuracy of 0.0015 inches per inch. HVAC installers, plumbers, and electricians will find this tool fits easily in a tool pouch for quick checks during rough-in or equipment installation.

This level is suited for residential and light commercial applications where compact size and magnetic grip are needed. Typical use cases include leveling split-system line sets, checking pitch on drain lines, aligning electrical panels or enclosures, and setting equipment bases. The aluminum construction keeps weight low at 0.2 pounds, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive layout work.

Installation Notes

No power source is required for this tool. Before use, inspect the vials for air bubbles or damage that could affect accuracy. Clean the magnetic base and the contact surface to remove debris that may compromise magnetic adhesion and reading accuracy. Store away from strong magnetic fields that could affect vial calibration over time.
