Stanley 42-264 Magnetic Torpedo Level 9 Inches 3 Vial

Product Description

The STANLEY 42-264 is a magnetic torpedo level designed for quick, accurate leveling in tight spaces and on metal surfaces. The body measures 9 inches in length with an ABS plastic construction in a high-visibility black and yellow housing. Three vials cover the most common layout needs: one level, one plumb, and one 45-degree vial. The built-in magnet holds the tool securely to ferrous pipe, conduit, duct, and structural steel, keeping both hands free during layout and installation work. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, and pipefitters carry this size as a standard pocket tool.

This torpedo level suits residential and light commercial trade work wherever a compact, readable level is needed. It is well suited for conduit runs, pipe hangers, duct drops, bracket mounting, and rough-in layout. The 9-inch body fits in a tool pouch or apron pocket and works on horizontal, vertical, and 45-degree surfaces. The magnetic base makes it a go-to for any work involving metal framing, pipe, or conduit where hands-free placement adds efficiency.

Installation Notes

No power source or shutoff is required for this tool. Before placing on a surface, verify the surface is clean and free of debris that could affect vial readings. When using the magnetic base on live conduit or energized panels, confirm power is off per NFPA 70 and local codes before contact with electrical surfaces. Store away from strong magnetic fields that could affect vial fluid or body integrity over time.
