Kapro 3 in. Plastic Post Level Magnetic

I bought this level for its small size and ability to check plumb in two directions simultaneously on my model railroad bridge piers and abutments during installation. It worked just as intended. I did have a bit of trouble learning how to use the cord to hold the level in place, hence the clamp.

This is a handy little post level. It is made of a sturdy hard plastic and has three level bubbles. I like the elastic cord that is used to attach the level to your post. The elastic cord should work better than the Velcro straps and elastic bands that I have seen on other post levels. The level also has four magnets for attaching to a metal post, pipe or sign. The only negative is that this level does not fold. It is one solid piece at a 90 degree angle which therefore takes up more room in your tool box.

I’ve used levels and several other methods to try and get posts straight but this one is by far the best solution I have used. It’s small, easy to store and it works great. If you are working with wooden posts there are several ways to mount the tool to the post. It comes with an elastic strap which wraps around the post, which I prefer, or there is a hole that you can use to attach it with a screw. If you are using metal posts, it has magnets on the back which hold it securely to the post. It not only works to align vertical posts but ti also works to level horizontal posts. Great little all in one tool.

Works exactly as described. Much easier than using a level.

nice decent quality post/pole level that can be secured using the attached strap so that you can use your hands to level it while you lock it into place.

I am working on installing fence posts currently in my back yard and also building a chicken coop and I can tell you from personal experience its a pain to do it with a regular level. This will allow me to attach the unit to the posts and easily and quickly level everything out the way I need it to be before I secure everything together. There are options to strap it to the post and or nail it to the post. You can level vertically and horizontally all at the same time! Its super simple to use and I am excited to take this home and put it to work! I do a lot of work like this so this will be a definite part of my tool box! I almost missed the most important feature. It has 4 magnets in case your installing metal vs wood.

This is an ideal product for all of your leveling needs. I was totally amazed at the superior quality of construction of this  great level. It can be used on wood or metal due to the various designs incorporated into thus level. The magnets on the back are quite strong, and hold the level in place as you make the necessary adjustments. If working on a wood piece, simply add a nail to secure the level temporarily. I would highly recommend this for other Home Depot shoppers. Built to last, and the attached cord will also be useful to help secure it to your project. 

Simply put; the item works and its cheap. It has magnets, nail holes and a long adjustable elastic cord for wrapping around objects. KAPRO makes a better model that is foldable and can be used for inside corners and other angles, but it is difficult to locate for sale.

The perfect way to quickly and easily set posts straight You’ll thank yourself for buying this, even if you only have one post to install. I recently set a single 4″x4″ mailbox post the “old fashioned way”, holding an I-beam level to one side, straightening the post, then switching the level to the adjacent side and repeating until the post was perfectly vertical. OK, it only took a few minutes, but the Kapro 3 in. Plastic Post Level Magnetic (Model # 341) is much faster and easier. And if you’re installing a fence you’ll save a LOT of time! It has an adjustable elastic tether that wraps around the post and catches on a notch on the other side – you can see this in the pictures on a 6″ post. 8” is probably it’s limit. It can also be temporarily attached with nails (see holes in pics) if the tether can’t reach all the way around. And it has magnets for metal. Small, light, and inexpensive – highly recommended!

a rugged accurate compact tool. modified the strap to fit better,excellent product.the magnets are good for pipes and metal studs. highly recommend.
