Box Beam Levels
Irwin's box beam levels are designed for accuracy and durability, constructed with premium-grade aluminum that offers unrivaled strength. The level resists warping, twisting or bending, and is guaranteed to remain accurate, even after a two-story drop or 50-degree temperature change. The vials include PlumbSite™ and a luminous backing for easier reading in low-light situations. The vials also will never break, fade, fog, leak or develop static charge and can be calibrated in seconds with a simple turn of a hex key or Philips screwdriver. At the end of the day, the powder-coated finish allows for easy cleaning and removal of mortar. For more information, please visit www.irwin.com/irwin/consumer/jhtml/levels/levels.jhtml.
