it is unexpectedly heavy and it appears to be machined from a solid piece of aluminum.
The impact-resistant blue vials are strikingly attractive, and Empire has managed to
squeeze four of them (a 90-degree, a 45 degree, a 0 degree flat, and a 0 degree offset)
into its 8 inch long frame. It has three strong magnets, a flat edge on one size, a grooved
edges on the other side, and one flat end to stand upright, and one bevelled end.
They seem to have thought of everything, and packed every feature you could need
into this small package. The vials are also readable from the front, or from holes cut
into the top. Seriously, if Apple made a level (which would no doubt be called the iLevel)
it would probably be very much like this impressive piece of work from Empire.
Previously, I had a big four-foot level, which over the years I discovered is far too large
for general household leveling use. I'm not confirming the level of steel I-Beams in a
skyscraper... I'm hanging pictures on my walls... so an 8 inch level is all that is needed.
Also, those larger levels are nowhere near as dense and solid as this little 8 inch level.
I cannot imagine a better level for general home use.

Me sirvió mucho
Trabajo en la construcción y es muy útil
Several of my coworkers noticed it and we're impressed. The only drawback was that it slipped easily out of my pants pocket when working in tight spaces, or sitting in a vehicle; this is what led to my reduced durability score.
Despite the housing being constructed from a single piece of aluminum, after a fall from my pocket onto concrete, two of the vials dislodged. It was still functional, and accurate, but I would occasionally have to slide the vials back into place as they would start to work their way out again. I will probably re-glue them eventually.
Also, the corners have deformed from similar falls; one I did have to file off, as it was affecting its ability to sit flush to the work piece.
I still like it, and despite the falls and dings, it still looks cool, and does the job, so overall score is still high.
