Stanley 42-324 Series I-Beam 180 Level, 24 in. and 48 in.

Stanley 42-324 Series I-Beam 180 Level, 24 in. and 48 in.

The Stanley 42-324 Series I-Beam 180 Levels combine an aluminum I-beam frame with a 180-degree rotating vial for checking level, plumb and angles. The series is available in 24 in. (42-324) and 48 in. (42-328) lengths, so you can use the shorter level for tight spaces and the longer level for framing and long runs. Both models have a top-read center vial for viewing from above, an integrated measuring scale and an accuracy rating of 0.0015 in./in.

Why Stanley?

Stanley builds the I-Beam 180 levels for tradespeople who need more than level and plumb. The rotating vial, top-read center vial and 0.0015 in./in. accuracy are shared across the 24 in. and 48 in. models, so crews can pick the length that fits the job and get the same reading features on either one. Choose the 24 in. model for cabinets, boxes and tight spaces, or the 48 in. model when you need to span studs, openings and longer surfaces.
