Spirit level STABILA Type 80ASM 19178 aluminium 60 cm with magnet

STABILA Type 80ASM 60 cm aluminium spirit level with integrated magnetic strip provides precise horizontal and vertical alignment for a wide range of professional and DIY tasks. Constructed from lightweight yet sturdy aluminium, this level is designed for durability and frequent use on jobsites. The magnetic edge allows secure attachment to ferrous surfaces, freeing hands for marking or fastening, while the clear, easy-to-read vials support accurate measurements and repeatable results.

Advantages

The aluminium profile combines low weight with high rigidity, resisting bending and maintaining true reference lines. The integrated magnetic strip ensures stable placement on steel and iron surfaces, improving efficiency during installation or metalwork. High-contrast vials permit quick reading in varying light conditions and the sealed vial units are protected against dust and moisture for long-term reliability.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and joinery tasks requiring level and plumb checks
• Metalwork and sheet-metal installation where magnetic attachment speeds positioning
• Plumbing and mechanical installations for aligning pipes and fixtures
• General construction and renovation for door, window and cabinet fitting

Key specifications

• Length: 60 cm
• Body material: aluminium
• Magnetic edge: integrated magnetic strip for ferrous surfaces
• Vials: horizontal and vertical vials with high-contrast markings
• Durability: sealed vial units resistant to dust and moisture

How to use

Place the spirit level on the surface to be checked and allow the bubble to stabilize in the vial. For magnetic use, align the magnetic edge with a ferrous surface so the tool stays in place while you mark or secure materials. Use the horizontal vial for level checks and the vertical vial for plumb checks; adjust the workpiece until the bubble centers. For repeat checks on long runs, periodically verify the tool’s integrity and recalibrate if necessary by comparing against a known flat reference.

Usage recommendations

Store the aluminium spirit level in a dry place and avoid dropping or striking the profile to maintain vial accuracy. Clean the magnetic edge and vials after use to prevent debris from affecting adhesion or visibility. For critical measurements, check the level against a certified reference or perform a flip test to confirm accuracy.
