Customer Rating: Summary: Sturdy Bird Comment: By far one the best levels I've used through the years of being a professional plumber. It is very sturdy and solid, which allows it to stand up to abuse and unexpected falls from pipes high in the air, which is rare due to the 3 strong earth magnets that keeps tight to any magnetic pipe. Drainage pipe slope button is a well liked bonus as well. The mirror concept is nice but due to the angle the mirror is sitting, you basically have to be at eye level with it in order to see the reflection of the bubble, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of it anyway, but still handy in some situations.All-in-all....WORTH IT.
The LENOX 21190-LV9T 9" Torpedo Level is constructed of cast aluminum body which will not bend and can withstand a drop of up to 10 feet. The mounted mirror allows the user to view plumb vial without looking at the side of the level. The LENOX Torpedo Level has a V-Groove Edge that keeps the level stable on a copper pipe up to 1-1/2". The scalloped edge keeps the level stable on up to 4" PVC pipe.
The Torpedo also features a drainage slope with two (2) settings. One setting places the level at a 1/4" and the second at a 1/8" per foot slope. There are also 3 rare earth magnets, each able to hold up to twelve (12) pounds per magnet. The end of the level can also be used to open Acetylene or B tank valve key without stripping.
