In reply to Bob Fankhauser. You could find the high point on the floor and measure up the ceiling height there and use a 4’ level to make a guide line, then attach wall molding at that point follow your 4’ line fasten to wall then lead with a l2 or 4’ level.

I know I’m late to this feed. I appreciated this review. Very helpful. One thing: Under “Strong Axis Load – Permanent Deflection” you say, “The Empire e75 was the worst one…” I believe you mean the e95. Is this not correct? Perhaps it could be corrected for accuracy.

Traditionally the wood levels were used by masons after alloy levels came along. Mortar and plaster stick to aluminum like nothing else, and mohogany is fairly stable around water.
Stabila or MD levels are all the same to me. You cant tune them. The only thing worse than a non adjustable level is a plastic level from home depot, lowes etc. I go on job sites today where there are problems. I ask, let me see your level, I check it and it out an 1/8″ to 1/4″ in 4′. The biggest problem with any level is the mechanic who does not know how to use it and refuses to learn.
Maybe articles on how to measure various critical things would be more useful.

the only problem in every situation that a level is needed, is that all levels can be off. just like every tool made, the tolerance is never noticed until its beyond acceptance. Charlie left me a wood level, I’ve purchased 10 aluminum but the only real 72″ that has lasted the test of time is the craftsman i bought when i was a first year apprentice. belive it or not its still the best i own. I began this exploration looking for my next awesome level. looks like ill be using craftsman. I cant believe i am saying that. Once in a while you find a jem, doese;nt matter what its made of.

Thanks for a very helpful article! Stabila was recommended to me by a carpenter with 40 years experience but then I saw a couple comments/customer reviews online expressing concern about flimsy construction / inaccuracy out of the box for some Stabilas. Thank you for providing the analysis to put that to rest at least for the 196..and for saving me hours of research online trying to develop an informed view about all the other available options in the test. Really appreciate it!

This was a great article. Yes, we may have wanted some other brands in the line up but I understand that companies may not want to participate. In any event, keep up the good work!
