Stanley 42-264 9 in. Jobmaster Magnetic Torpedo Level

The Stanley 42-264 9 in. Jobmaster Magnetic Torpedo Level is a compact level sized for tool pouches and tight work areas. Its magnetic base holds onto steel conduit, pipe, boxes and framing so your hands stay free, and the pipe groove helps it sit securely on round stock. Three vials read level, plumb and 45 degrees, and a top-read window lets you check the level vial from above. The high-impact ABS body is built to handle jobsite knocks and drops. It is a useful companion to a longer level, handling the short, close-in checks that come up many times a day during installation and trim-out. Electricians use it to check boxes, straps and conduit runs, and plumbers use it to set pipe slope and fixture alignment.

Stanley 42-264 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Stanley 42-264 torpedo level stick to EMT conduit and hold itself while I read it?
Yes. The 42-264 Jobmaster has a magnetic base that holds to steel conduit, pipe, boxes and framing, so both hands stay free while you read the vial. It also has a grooved edge that seats on round stock, which keeps it from rolling off conduit or pipe while the magnet holds. On non-ferrous material (PVC conduit, copper, aluminum) the magnet does nothing, so you'll be holding it against the pipe groove instead.
2) What angles can the Stanley 42-264 read?
Three vials: level, plumb and 45 degrees. That covers horizontal runs, vertical drops and the 45 bends you make in conduit, but nothing in between, so it is not a substitute for an angle finder or a protractor level if you need arbitrary degrees.
3) Can I read the level vial from above when the level is sitting flat on a box?
Yes, that's what the top-read window is for. Looking down on the 42-264 you can read the level vial through the window instead of having to crouch to sight it from the side, which is the usual problem when a level is stuck low on a panel or box.
4) Can plumbers use this to set pipe slope?
Yes. Plumbers use the 42-264 to set pipe slope and fixture alignment, and the grooved edge sits on round pipe so it doesn't rock or roll while you read it. The vials read level, plumb and 45 degrees, so you're judging slope off the level bubble rather than a graduated pitch scale.
5) Is this the right level for an electrician stocking a truck or standardizing crew tools?
It's built for that role. Stanley positions the 42-264 for electrical work, checking boxes, straps and conduit runs, bending and installing conduit, and leveling panels. Magnet, pipe groove, three vials and a top-read window in a pouch-sized ABS body make it the everyday level a crew carries in addition to a full-size one.
6) Will the Stanley 42-264 survive being dropped off a ladder into a pouch every day?
The body is high-impact ABS, built for daily jobsite knocks and drops, and it's sized to ride in a tool pouch or pocket. ABS means no cast metal frame, so it's light, but a hard edge strike can still chip a plastic body, and any level that takes a serious drop should be checked against a known flat surface before you trust it.
7) What is the exact part number to order the Stanley Jobmaster magnetic torpedo level?
Stanley 42-264, the 9 in. Jobmaster magnetic torpedo level. It comes in the single 9 in. size, so there is no length or finish choice to specify on the order.
