Milwaukee 3 in. Compact Torpedo Pocket Level

Great mag. And extremely durable

Perfect for cast iron piping

Bought this compact leveler to use with our new camping trailer. Did not want to drill into the siding to install a permanent leveler. The magnets are very strong and we can move it to each corner as we are lowering the jacks. It has worked great for us.

Years ago, I bought a 9″ torpedo level and haven’t taken a look at anything smaller in years. I was in the H.D. store the other day looking for a line level to help me place some brackets for window blinds and came across this little gem from Milwaukee – a 3″ compact torpedo pocket level. It’s ¾” long, 3″ wide and 1 ¾” tall. I was very surprised because it has strong magnets built in that will hold the level in place if you’re working on anything metal – like a window blind bracket, towel bar, etc. and if not, the base is wide enough that when I move what I’m trying to level, it’s not as likely to fall over as my old level does. According to Milwaukee, the magnets are made of amplified rare earth and has twice the holding power of other leading brands. What impressed me most is how easy it is to read the level from any position because of the magnified vial technology that Milwaukee used. In addition to being easy to read level, it is also easy to read 1% and 2% pitch. A built-in gap provides clearance for weld beads and the level is built out of aluminum as opposed to the plastic my other level is made of, so it should last a long time. This is a great addition to my tool bag! This would be a great Holiday or birthday gift and not seriously impact your budget!

The level was great for what I purchased it for, small shelves, and plumbing pipes. It’s compact and easy to carry in your pocket. I’d check walls I frame and doors as well if I question the plumpness of larger builds I pull definitely check with my larger level but for the most part this product definitely comes in handy on job sites.

it comes in handy and works good

Love the dual magnets which makes it crazy attached to whatever you place it on that metal. Typical initial test of any tool with magnets for me is to place it on my refrigerator, no problems sticking to it. I also like the fact that the glass vial is magnified a bit making easier to read for people with old eyes. I can already that I’m going to like this one better than the other small pocket level they sell. The other level they sell has an adjustable angle for the vial but the readings on the dial don’t seem to be accurate. Guess having both is a good compromise.

This is a super little gadget. It has a good weight so it sits solidly on your project, and the heavy duty magnets make it even better for projects with metal. I got mine too late for my towel bar installations, shown by the pictures. If I had this instead of the cheesy stick-on level that came with them, that bubble would be dead center like the cheesy stick-on said it was. I trust this one a lot more. It’s okay, though, I have plenty of things on my list where this is going to be so handy!

Super handy little pocket level! This wonderful tool has super strong magnets in it, and will securely attach to any ferrous metal like iron pipe, steel studs, or EMT. It has a gap in the center of the bottom so it can straddle a weld bead. There are magnets on the side so it can attach to a vertical object. The vial is large and easy to read, and has 1% and 2% pitch lines. Very well made!
