Good day Apprentice and Journeyman Carpenters


In this video we go over another tool NOT found on the tool list. The 7"-9" Magnetic Torpedo Level.

This small level can be used basically everyday while framing and sometimes while hanging gwb. (depending on the work of course) Bonus! Fits in your tool bags.


We explore..
Which Torpedo level is the best for metal studs
What magnetic Torpedo levels to avoid
Is a lighted Torpedo worth it
Do we need a 45° bubble in a Torpedo level


What is your favorite level?



I am a fan of empire levels. the blue vials are easy to see. They are built well and last a while
