Stabila - 70Tmw Torpedo Level

[elcom]

Does anyone know anything about this level? It seems to have all of the features of the $70 level such as the Stabila 25360 (except perhaps the body is not cast; appears to be stamped metal), but costs $21.50 shipped (see ebay link below).

The seller is in the UK, but has lots of good feedback on eBay:

Anyone with experience re: this level? Can't seem to find anything either online (except a few generally positive reviews) or on GarageJournal.

This would be for home/home shop use.

Thanks!

I have a few of these in different lengths. Good budget levels. Not very robust if you're using them on site.

I think the one in your link has a strip magnet on it which is not very powerful. The 25360 has very strong rare earth magnets.

Thanks! Very helpful.

a good place for the rare earth magnet ones is www.buyaparcel.com luckily for me they are only 2 miles away from my home. unsure if they ship overseas though

They are good levels, no machined faces obviously but ideal for home shop use.

The 70TMW also has an angle adjuster on one of the vials.
