Level, SOLA 40 cm BIG X with magnified vial, aluminum profile (model 1370501)

The SOLA 40 cm BIG X spirit level with magnified vial and aluminum profile is a compact, rigid hand level designed for accurate horizontal and vertical alignment on construction, carpentry and installation tasks. Its BIG X vial increases visibility of the bubble and the magnified lens effect (lupeneffekt) helps precise reading of small deviations, while the lightweight aluminum profile provides resistance to bending and easy handling on site.

Advantages

The BIG X vial delivers a clear, high-contrast reference for both horizontal and vertical alignment, reducing reading errors. The magnified vial improves precision when checking slight inclinations. The anodized aluminum profile combines low weight with high torsional stiffness and impact resistance. Compact 40 cm length makes the level convenient for transport and use in confined spaces, and the overall build is designed for repeated professional use.

Suitable for

• Checking and setting horizontal and vertical planes in construction and renovation
• Carpentry tasks such as installing cabinets, shelves and frames
• Plumbing and heating installation alignment
• Metalwork and assembly requiring precise short-span leveling
• On-site measurement where a compact, durable hand level is needed

Key specifications

• Length: 40 cm
• Profile material: aluminum (anodized finish)
• Vial type: BIG X spirit vial with magnification effect for improved readability
• Measurement axes: horizontal and vertical
• Design: compact hand level suitable for confined spaces

How to use

Place the level on the surface to be checked and ensure full contact between the profile and the workpiece. Read the BIG X vial at eye level, using the magnified view to detect small deviations; adjust the object until the bubble centers between the reference lines. For vertical checks, position the level against the upright edge and read the vertical vial the same way. Use short, controlled adjustments and re-check after each correction to achieve precise alignment.

Usage recommendations

Store the level in a dry place and avoid dropping it onto hard surfaces to preserve vial calibration. Clean the vial window and profile regularly to maintain clear visibility. For highest accuracy, check the level against a known flat reference periodically and handle the tool with care to prevent deformation of the aluminum profile.
