STABILA Type 106 T Telescopic Carpenter's Level 183-315 cm

The STABILA Type 106 T is a professional-grade telescopic carpenter's level engineered for precision leveling over extended distances. With an adjustable length ranging from 183 cm to 315 cm, this tool is designed to meet the rigorous demands of construction, carpentry, and framing professionals. Its robust three-chamber aluminum rectangular profile, combined with reinforcing ribs, provides exceptional stability and durability, ensuring the tool maintains its integrity during intensive daily use on diverse job sites.

Advantages

This spirit level features a unique telescopic system that allows for an extremely long measuring surface, making it ideal for large-scale projects. The integrated eccentric clamps ensure lasting accuracy by securely locking the level at any desired length. The inclusion of a continuous bridge over the horizontal vial further enhances the structural stability of the profile. Additionally, the tool is equipped with finger-grip openings for a secure hold and plastic end caps that protect the frame against impact damage, ensuring a long service life.

Suitable for

• General construction and framing
• Carpentry and woodwork leveling
• Measuring over laths and timber bracing
• Leveling uneven surfaces or bowed timber
• Large-scale interior and exterior alignment tasks

When it may not be suitable

This tool may not be the most efficient choice for small-scale, precision tasks in confined spaces where a shorter, standard-length spirit level would be more maneuverable. Due to its significant length and telescopic design, it is primarily intended for long-distance leveling rather than compact, high-precision mechanical adjustments.

Key specifications

• Length: Adjustable from 183 cm to 315 cm
• Material: 3-chamber aluminum rectangular profile
• Vials: 1 horizontal vial, 2 vertical vials
• Measuring accuracy: ± 0.5 mm/m in normal position (retracted), ± 0.75 mm/m in reverse position (retracted)
• Features: Eccentric clamps, integrated scale in cm/in, slip-on spacers (4.2 cm height)
• Design: Continuous bridge over horizontal vial, reinforcing ribs, finger-grip openings

How to use

To use the STABILA Type 106 T, unlock the eccentric clamps to extend the level to your required length. Use the integrated scale to confirm the measurement if necessary. Place the level against the surface to be checked. If working over laths or uneven timber, attach the provided slip-on spacers to ensure the measuring surface remains level. Once positioned, check the horizontal and vertical vials to determine the alignment. Always ensure the clamps are fully tightened before taking a measurement to maintain accuracy.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 183 cm minimum length is suitable for your standard workspace requirements.
• Consider the storage space needed for a tool that extends up to 315 cm.
• Assess if the specific need for measuring over uneven surfaces or laths justifies the use of the included slip-on spacers.

Usage recommendations: To maintain the long-term accuracy of your STABILA level, store it in a clean, dry environment and avoid dropping the tool. Regularly check the vials for clarity and ensure the telescopic mechanism is free of debris or dust that could affect the clamping precision.
