Finds: Stanley’s FatMax Xtreme Magnetic Torpedo Level
By Chuck Cage
Magnetic torpedo levels are incredibly useful around the fab shop, and (as usual) Stanley’s managed to release one with some great features. Our favorite: the 180-degree rotating vial. It’s the right one in the picture. If you want to duplicate an angle — say, weld on another bar at the exact same angle — you just rotate the vial around until it shows level, then adjust your second bar until it shows level as well.
It’s also grooved (curved) for use on rounded surfaces — like pipe — and uses rare-earth magnets for some serious holding power. It’s made of die-cast aluminum for durability, and it features Stanley’s standard lifetime accuracy warranty.
Pricing starts around $19 online.
