Reason #4,724 not to buy unknown-name tools from Amazon

Chinese to "Ingles" word translator?

The price seems right, too, especially when you can purchase a basic box level at the big orange box for cheaper:

Maybe you are paying extra for the "Stabila" color?

I used to be all for Amazon, but after this ****, this was one of the reasons why I cut my prime membership.

That has to be the WORST translation/bot-review I have ever seen! After reading that review, it reminds me of the scene in Billy Madison where the principal says "we are now all dumber from listening to your response".

This level only shows level when its level ... caution ... won't work on a hill.

Uh-huh. Yup. I tell you whut.

Hey, those reviewers of this thing were trying their level best....

Most of the reviews were tilted in one direction that was no longer parallel with the flat earth.

120cm = a hair shy of 47 1/4". If you are buying something from a metric centric place, consider the metric measurement correct cause the imperial measurement is just scabbed on for sale in north america.

Honest question - does anyone use the scale on a level for measuring? I never have. But I'm just a home handyman.

Depends on what kind of measuring. For precise cuts? No. For finding the next stud, or how wide to cut a chunk of drywall, though, I can see how it'd be useful.

I got tricked on Amazon a couple months ago. The company was called KTC Auto Tools mimicking KTC(Kyoto Tool Co) from Japan and didn’t think twice. Once I saw it in person though the oil filter cup was such shite that I boxed it up and returned it the same day. I thought Amazon was better about that kind of stuff but gotta keep alert.

I'm just happy I have a nice set of actual Stabila levels, that I've been very careful with in the past 15 years. An inaccurate level is just a piece of metal with a bubble on one side.
