Stanley 42-193 3 in. Line Level

The Stanley 42-193 3 in. Line Level hangs on a string line to check level across distances too long for a standard level. It has a yellow ABS body, a single vial and two hang hooks that clip over the string. Stretch a line between stakes or reference points, hang the level near the center and adjust until the bubble is centered. It is a simple, lightweight tool for layout work on decks, fences, footings, trenches and landscaping. Line levels are a low-cost way to check grade and level across spans of many feet, such as between fence posts, footing forms or the ends of a trench. It weighs very little, so it does not cause the string to sag, and it can be clipped on and off the line in seconds as you move from one reference point to the next.

Stanley 42-193 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is a line level the right tool for setting grade in a trench, or do I need something else?
For running grade down a trench for conduit or pipe, a line level on a taut string between the ends of the run is a low-cost way to check level and pitch across many feet. The 42-193 is listed for exactly that work, along with footing forms, deck and fence layout, masonry string lines and landscaping. If you need precise elevations at multiple stations or long sightlines, that is laser or optical level work; a line level checks level relative to the string you set, nothing more.
2) Will a line level sag the string line and throw off my reading?
The 42-193 is only 3 inches long with a molded ABS body, so it puts very little load on the line. Stanley states it weighs very little and does not cause the string to sag. The bigger variable is line tension, so pull the string taut between your reference points before reading.
3) Can I clip the Stanley 42-193 on and off the string without untying the line?
Yes. The two hooks clip over the string line, so it goes on and comes off in seconds as you move from one reference point to the next. No need to break down the line, which is what makes it practical for walking a long layout.
4) What exactly am I ordering with Stanley 42-193, and is it a one-vial or two-vial level?
Stanley model 42-193 is a single item: a 3 inch line level with a yellow ABS body, one vial and two hang hooks. It reads level only, not plumb, since there is a single vial. Manufacturer part number is 42-193.
5) Is the yellow body just cosmetic or does it matter on a jobsite?
It is practical. A high-visibility yellow ABS body on a 3 inch tool strung out in the middle of a line across a footing or a trench is easy to spot, and easier to find again when it ends up in the dirt or a tool bucket.
