Stabila Type 196 Heavy-Duty Spirit Level | 16" - 96"

Stabila Type 196 Heavy-Duty Spirit Level

The Type 196 is STABILA’s heavy-duty professional level for framing, concrete, carpentry, windows, doors, and general construction. An extra-rigid reinforced aluminum profile protects the permanently locked vials, while removable shock-absorbing end caps help the tool survive daily transport and drops.

Why This Product Stands Out

• Extra-rigid aluminum profile with reinforcing ribs is designed for heavy professional use.
• LOCKED VIAL installation permanently fixes the vial system to the frame.
• Accuracy is ±1/32 in over 72 in in both normal and reverse positions.
• Two coated measuring surfaces support accurate readings in every orientation.
• Shock-absorbing removable end caps protect the frame and expose the end for corner marking.
• Hand grips on applicable lengths improve control during transport and placement.
