Mecurate Instrument Level Tool, 24 inch, 600mm, Metric&Inch Double Scale Magnetic Torpedo Level and Ruler

worked as expected

This is a big level tool so you can easily use it as a ruler or just something long and straight to draw long if needed! There are 3 different bubble levels in different orientations, so you can use this in a variety of different scenarios.The tool is very sturdy, the ruler is easy to read, the bubble levels are easy to use, and the handle makes it easy to carry! I have no complaints whatsoever as this does the job perfectly. Would highly recommend!

Hand holds protrude at sides. Thus does not allow the level to lie flat against a wall (eg when scribing a pencil line).

So this is a good spirit level that is well made, lightweight and works perfectly well, but it is quite pricey compared to other options. So my first impressions of this spirit level were pretty good, I was impressed by how light it is, this does however mean that it is hollow so that will effect long term durability but for your average DIYer this is most certainly a positive.The levels are easy to read, you get three vials which are at different angle to help it be as versatile as possible so this is good. The level is nice and straight which makes it great for using as a straight edge when marking up a project. The biggest downside to this is the price, for the size and feature set you can get known branded levels cheaper, at the time of writing this is £20, Amazon helpfully show a comparison with similar products and I can see there is a very comparable level from Rolson for less than have the price and even one from Stanley with the same features for less than this and it looks much nicer too.

I am doing work on my chimney breast at the moment and I am looking at cutting round it. I made some assumptions that it was all squared off and 90 degree angles but until you get one of these larger levels on it you realise that nothing really is that straight. The angles aren't perfect but also the wall bulges and recesses in places you wouldn't know without this.Really handy for other DIY uses, everything seems to be pretty accurate, can measure horizontally, vertically and at a 45 degree plane.It has a few other very handy uses like the ability to measure with the ruler when keeping things straight, it has a chunky handle and also magnetic edge to keep things in check.It just fits in nicely on my tool wall and I kick myself for not getting one of these earlier.

This 24 inch Instrument Level Tool, 600mm long, is a precision engineered tool built to perform the tasks you need it to do. The high-grade alloy steel jaws are designed with thicker walls and a stronger spring to hold up to the rigors of industrial use. The flexible graduations can be easily read at varying angles and will not scratch or move even in extreme temperatures. The dual purpose magnetic tip is perfect for flipping over to mark your measurements before taking them off scale or doing an area check without reaching.Precision, durable and easy to use. Ideal for medium-sized jobs around the house or workshop. The unit is equipped with a magnetic double scale for easy reading of inches and metric. Overall a quality product for decent price. At the time of review this product was available for £19.99 plus 10% off voucher.

Trialling this alongside the 230mm version, the two compliment each other well, this one for long straights, the smaller for tighter spaces.Accuracy is spot on for vertical & horizontal.The magnetic base is good, strong enough to support its own weight at any angle required.At around the £20 mark, you can't really expect a solid spirit level, so no surprise this is a hollow rectangular tube. Ultimately, this does mean it'll end up dented/useless at some point, just from bumps & drops during your project, but definitely a worthwhile option for a keen DIYer.

Basic level.Works well.Lightweight.Too expensive.

The product is great but it was delivered to the wrong house. I was lucky that the picture showed that the product was at a friend's house and we were able to get it.

For the TLDR crew: It’s a lot shorter than 24 inches; the imperial measurements are all off by 9/32 of an inch, and it’s missing the standard differences in length of the 1/2” and 1/4” tick marks. Also, the metric side of the “ruler” begins three mm before “1” rather than at zero, so all absolute values are too high by seven mm.The long version:For me, the major selling point of this level was its advertised ability to serve as a 24-inch ruler. Unfortunately, the manufacturer grossly misrepresents the tool in that respect. Please see the four photos included with this review.(1) The tool’s entire length, including the black plastic endcaps (which do not contain measurement markings) is 23-7/16 inches. (If you squint at it just right, it might make 23-1/2 inches.) So the entire thing, including the parts that can’t be used for measuring, is less than the advertised 24 inches. The part with actual measurement markings is only 23-1/32 inches long.(2) Much worse, the first “inch” IS NOT A FULL INCH—not even close! The distance from the beginning of the tick marks to the one-inch mark is 23/32 of an inch! That’s 9/32” shorter than it should be.So the number 2 on this “ruler” doesn’t mean “2 inches from the end.” It means 1-23/32 inches from the end.The point at the other end of this “ruler” is labeled “23” when it’s actually 22 -23/32 inches from the beginning of the measurement markings.That missing 9/32” length at the beginning of the tool makes all the rest of the numbers complete fiction. I can appreciate imaginary numbers, but not on my measurement tools!(3) A similar problem occurs with the metric side of the “ruler.” Rather than starting with zero, as it should, it starts with the number 1, preceded by three mm. Thus, every absolute measurement (starting from the end) will be too long by 7 mm. At the other end, the marking that seems to mean 59 cm actually demarcates 52 cm.(4) It’s bad enough to short the consumer an inch off the advertised length. It’s inexcusable to do it in a way that virtually guarantees measurement errors on both the imperial and metric sides of the “ruler.”Someone who isn’t paying close attention or who, like me, has bad eyesight, could derail a project by expecting that this “ruler” would actually have a full inch (or a full cm) before the numeral 1—because that’s how rulers work.Rulers, yardsticks and tape measures start at ZERO because the starting point has to represent “none” of the quantity being measured. They can’t start with a numeral “1” at some arbitrary point from the end! Since the manufacturer is so woefully ignorant about the most basic of measurement concepts, I urge Amazon to take a close look at any other tools they offer.(5) Rounding out the inadequacy of this item for use as a measurement tool is the lack of longer tick marks at 1/2” and 1/4” markings. There are only two lengths of tick marks: short for 1/16” and a little longer for 1/8” intervals. The familiar super-long tick mark at the 1/2” point is absent, as are the usual, notable 1/4” markings.People who measure things frequently may have no difficulty just “knowing” where these intermediate markings are. But for the average person trying to hang shelves from a ladder, with bad lighting, sweat in their eyes and drywall dust everywhere, the lack of these additional measurement cues will make for a very frustrating experience.I hope that Amazon will remove this product from its website. Not only does it promise what it can’t deliver, but this deception may not be spotted immediately, and it could result in a lot of needless frustration and poorly-assembled projects.

My complaint is the thing is hollow. Very lightweight. If I dropped it I'm afraid it would bend. Otherwise seems accurate.

All in all its a solid level just a little overpriced I think. Expected it to be a tad bit sturdier.

It’s hard to use because it’s just too short
