STANLEY FATMAX Pro Box Beam Level, 900mm/36", 0-43-636

Fantastic piece of kit, very hand for those DIY jobs. I've used it for decking, brick foundations, patio laying etc it all weathers. Its tough and does what it says it does. Recommended

There seem to be two main brands on the market for everyday use: Stanley and Stabila. I think this is the only Stanley model that really competes with Stabila. This is the Fatmax Pro version (see the manufacturer’s reference number), and it seems it can come with Extreme written on it or not (latterly not, I think). Currently the Stanley website advertises three types of spirit level: a simple box section level and a girder style, and this one which is the strongest of the three. It’s a reinforced box section, with shoulders and ribs. Stabila does three box section levels (a simple box, a box with shoulders, and a reinforced box with shoulders and ribs), and their girder style levels are stronger (not weaker) than the reinforced box (as you might expect). The Stanley 043624 or 043636 (and so on, according to the length in inches) competes with the Stabila 196-2. The Stanley is cheaper usually. They both have the same accuracy. Whether the metal in the Stabila is stronger I cannot tell, but they both look about the same. I did see a Stanley promotional video which showed a cross-section that seemed to indicate that there was an internal metal “baffle” (the very expensive Stabila R Type has a number of them), a sort of “false floor” running the full length, and that would make the Stanley stronger; but, when I took the handle off to check, it wasn’t there. Personally, I have had occasional problems with the squared vial of the Stabila. I found it difficult to judge exactly where the bubble was when looking at a 45 degree angle (i.e. through the corner of the rectangular vial block), and had to reposition myself (and the work!). The Stanley has a rounded vial, and it looks the same whichever way you look at it. All of the good models are accurate to 0.5mm/m, so I suppose that the issue in making your choice is only how robust you need the level to be for it to maintain its accuracy in the working environment.

second one was just right the end was missing off the 1st one

Great levels from Stanley as expected and fast delivery from this supplier

good level used it fitting my kitchen cabinets and worktops all good

Buy this, it's a quality branded level.

I've had 4 levels same brand different sizes for a few years and they work great, couldn't find 36" one in the U.S. so I god it from the UK. These levels pretty much offer the same warranty as a stabila and cost about 1/4" of the price, plus the color is way better

Liked the ease of seeing where the bubble was between the lines

Nivel com mais de um ano de uso na construção. Já caiu algumas vezes. Bastante resistente. Ainda sem falhas após os testes efetuados de verificação. Um pouco pesado, mas que justifica pela robustez. Boa qualidade. Aconselho.

Si me ha gustado mucho pesa un poquito muy bien para determinados trabajos. deseando ponerlo en accion.

La calidad

Goeie prijs
