    Too inaccurate
    The digital component is too inaccurate to be useful. Save yourself the time and use a regular level and a tape measure.

      Empire e105.48H Digital Box Level This is a very nice and well made level. A lot more level than I ever used. It has 7 measuring modes and it is IP65-rated for dust/water-proofing. The shock absorbing end caps protect the ends of the level from damage and the caps can be removed if needed. There is a really nice large handle built in (perfect for hanging from a wall hook). The huge dual electronic lighted displays on the side and edge are super convenient and easy to read. The display readout can be inverted for overhead measuring. The level has slope info built in as one of the measurement options, making it nice for setting drainage measurements. There is also a hold button to lock in a measurement if needed. I have used this level a lot in my workshop as a straight edge and recently to hand a door. I found the dual digital display very convenient and easy to read even as daylight faded. Wish I purchased this level years ago. I am finding that this level has become my go to level. I would definatly reccommend this level to other contractors, construction workers and serious DIY’ers. The only thing I have found that I wish Empire did different is the way the battery door is secured. I like that the level takes regular AA alkaline batteries, I just wish the battery door did not take a screw driver to open. I always remove the batteries from a tool that is put away to avoid battery leakage that will ruin an expensive tool. A clip or thumb screw or something like that would be better for me.

      48” TRUE BLUE lives up to its name! This level comes from the factory preset to zero. It can be reset by the user if the situation warrants. Having the positive and negative measurements helps with right/left adjustments. Its sides have a “serrated” or rough edge to prevent sliding on smooth surfaces. Tough construction lets it take a beating on the jobsite!

      I've always wanted a digital level and this one is great. Right out of the package I could tell it was a quality, solid level. For less exacting work it has all the usual bubble levels. The digital feature is great. There are readouts on the side and top (see photo) which comes in handy when I'm working close to the floor or ceiling. Another great feature is that the digital readout gives you arrows to let you know which end needs to be raised or lowered (see photo). This particularly helps when I get close to level as well as the beeping that lets me know when I'm getting close to level (intermittent beeping) and when I'm perfectly level (constant tone). The backlight also comes in handy when working in dim areas. This is an all around great level. A great investment.

      This is an incredibly nice 4 foot aluminum level. It makes me want to go out and but an F150 and get a contractor's license. The level has 7 measuring modes: 4 precision; 4 rough-in. It is IP65-rated for dust/water-proofing. This one is non-magnetic but there is a magnetic version should you desire one. The end caps can be removed if needed. There is a really nice handle built in- perfect for hanging from a pegboard hook. The huge electronic display is doubled on the short edge, making it a dual-display and super-convenient. I will use this a lot as a straight edge and it will work really well as such. For contractors it has slope info built in as one of the measurement options. I am extremely excited to begin using this. The manufacturer's website is awesome and has a link to the user manual as a PDF: http://www.empirelevel.com/digital-levels.php.

      Great 24 inch level
      I've got a handful of 24 and 48 inch levels around my garage. I've kind of always wanted a digital level, but I wasn't sure if they were accurate. I don't do professional work anymore, but I've done plenty in the past. I didn't think a level like this would hold up in a DIY environment, let-alone a professional environment. So, I got this one and did some experiments. I built a raised bed garden at 4 feet by 4 feet. I double checked it with my conventional level, as well as the digital level. See attached picture. The digital level was MUCH better than my eye and the bubble level. My wife was worried about the dirt and water, but I told her to abuse it and not worry about it. I also hung some drywall in my garage. I actually shot it with a self-leveling laser and checked it against the digital level. The digital display was SO much better than the bubble level. Again, see the attached picture (although the laser can't be seen). Yes, a regular bubble level CAN be accurate under the right conditions. But, after using the digital level, I'm sure I'm not going back to a straight bubble level ever again. I'm going to buy the 4 foot and probably even a larger 6 or 8 foot level. Also, it's a nice aluminum chassis. Of course, the solid-state electronics are actually more durable than a bubble level, so I really don't have any worries there. The electronics are probably rated at 200g's or something crazy like that, much higher than any bubble level. Overall, I'm definitely going to switch to digital levels. It's just too easy to look over and line it up without having to hold your head and eye "just right" to get it close. Yeah, for a professional framer, I'm sure they don't care all that much as long as it's close, but for my personal projects, it's worth it to me to be right on the money.

      Great When You Need Numbers
      This is a great level for when you need to translate a slope or angle into hard numbers either to match a specification, translate the angle to another location, or do some calculations. Where standard vial levels do a great job visually showing you when something is either plumb or level, when something is not either of those you're mostly left guessing. Or you have to get out a tape measure to see how far out of level something is (awkward at best.) This Empire digital box level has different levels of accuracy on degrees, in/ft, mm/m, and percent and it's quick and easy to change among them with the mode button. I really like the shorter 16" since I don't use this functionality that often. You can always set this on top of one of your longer levels if you want to check the grade across a longer length.

      Digital display and accuracy, easy to use upgrade on a must have tool
      This is an electronic upgrade of an old standard, the bubble level. This unit is a 24 inch model. It features a very nice carrying case and it is magnetic so it will hold itself to metal surfaces. The level contains two standard “old school” bubbles, one on the top, and one on the side, but they are more for quick reference as the digital electronic display really tells the story with this unit. It gives you a digital read out and direction indicators to provide a much clearer and precise measurement than eye balling the bubbles. It also features audio alerts so you can determine precisely level when moving the object up or down. A hold feature also keeps the last reading. The unit has seven modes to choose from on the display, including decimals, degrees, and in/ft. or mm/m. The digital display is backlit and easy to read, with both a side and upper face. Unit auto calibrates for accuracy.
