SKIL 12 Digital Level - LV941801

I have many levels big and small but this is the only one I own that is digital. I use it almost every time. You can get it into tighter spaces since it's short and with great accuracy due to it being digital. If you need to draw a longer line than the level it can be easily done in two steps.... you can match up one end of the level on your prior line and rotate until you see zero on the screen and then draw the second line to make a 2 ft line. Works fast & easy. Being able to get this in tighter spaces makes it more useful compared to a longer level. It's worth every penny.

I now have the 12" and 24" versions of this level. I is extremely easy to read in all levels of light. The display is just superb. The option it has to stop beeping when you're at 0 is great. It allows you to focus on your work without having to back and forth from your work and the bubble. I also really like the color. It's easy to find almost regardless of where you've laid it. Battery life is pretty good, could be a little longer -- however I'm not going to take points off for it. It's really a great level. At the price point; if you're thinking about it you could purchase one and try it without much to lose. I think you will like it though.

Bought the 24" version and was sold on its capabilities, look and strong magnets. I later ended up buying the 12" version for my smaller kit. The magnets on the 12" were not glued properly, they stayed on the fridge when I was testing. Super glue fixed it. FYI, there is no way of calibrating the level and it does not auto-calibrate. Fast forward to a few weeks ago. I was out of town with a project and took the 12" level with me and the hardware I was installing was spot-on because of this level. I was very impressed and satisfied with its accuracy. I later needed an even smaller version and bought Empire's 9" digital level. The Empire auto calibrates when turned on. Tested both of them together and got the same reading. For me, this confirmed the Skil level's accuracy. That may mean nothing for other users. So yeah, I am satisfied with my Skil level purchases. They are reasonably priced, have accurate readings and the color stands out onsite. Hope this review helps others.

Love it. Easy to use and highly accurate. My wife seems to be able to detect anything that isn't perfectly level. Like "hey that picture is not straight or that mirror is crooked" I installed new bathroom lighting and this instrument made it easy to get the almost 5' bar perfectly level. The mirror guys installed mirrors almost perfectly, but this level detected the error and allowed me to get it perfect. Okay, it's more expensive than just a bubble level, but man once you get to 0.00 you know it's spot on.

Well designed and built.

It’s great

My advice would be to not leave the batteries in it for a long period of time if you aren't using it. If the batteries leak it can ruin the contacts.

It might work but I don't like how flimsy the end caps are. I like quality products but the end caps come off so easily. For the price I'm not glad about it.
