TM TV: Beating The S#!$ Out Of Stanley’s FatMax Levels

By Chuck Cage

We posted a review of these nice new levels from Stanley just a bit ago, but here’s your chance to see first hand how we tested ‘em — and to meet the latest addition to the TM crew, JR Bluett.

    norm would have built a jig to pull the level off the ground and then drop it again. of course, he would have also made it out of ’scraps’ around the shop. and it would have worked perfectly…the first time.

    McAngryPants, I was gonna say the same thing. After the 5th drop, I would have said “F- this.”

    A) A jig won’t drop randomly. B) That’s why JR’s a bad-ass — he’s willing to drop ‘em so you don’t have to.

    but did they still read true level?

    @brrk: Indeed. The non-magnetic version continued to read true level via all vials. The magnetic version read true level via all vials until ~ drop 50, at which point the center vial came loose, though the outer vials continued to read level.

    Interesting review but the dude keeps saying “Um….Um….Uh….”

    Stop. Please. You’re killing the review.

    Slow down. Have the camera guy hold up cue cards. Thank you.
