Editorial Review:
A torpedo level typically is a small, boat-shaped level measuring 6 to 9 inches. The Checkpoint Ultra-Mag 4-Vial G2 Torpedo Level is a professional grade level boasting portability, efficiency, and durability all in one package. If you haven't bought a level in a while, you'll be amazed at how much this dynamo can do. For example, the built-in magnets enable you to position the level on metal surfaces or on the nails in wood studs without worrying about slippage. Also, the large V-groove along the top of the level allows you to rest it solidly on pipes up to 10 inches in diameter. Plus, one end is tapered at 45 degree angle, making it easy to hold the level against a diagonal surface. Other features include a 4-vial system with horizontal, vertical, 45 degree, and 30 degree viewing options and a waterproof/shockproof body (the body comes with a lifetime guarantee, by the way). If you're looking for a basic level at a good price, this item has what you need and more. To boot, it ships in multiple colors.

Disappointed - Twice:
A few days after I bought this level brand new I noticed that the 0 degree vial was not true. It was significantly off when reversed. I sent it in to Checkpoint for warranty repair and received someone else's well-worn "refurbished" level in return. Now, two months later, the 90 degree vial is off. I can't use this thing for running conduit. Too bad; I like the magnets.
Best Level for construction:
This is great for any electrician or someone working with steel. The magnets hold superiorly and typically holds to work when jarred or dropped. I keep mine close because they seem to not wear out but are lost or stolen.
Great little tool:
THis was a gift for my husband. He thinks this is just the neatest little tool I have given him.
Only kind to buy:
This magnet is the best in its class. Its rugged enough to last from falls off lifts, or anything you can throw at them. The magnets are strong enough to hold it no matter what. Only kind I'll ever buy.
