Overview:

This Blue Spot Tools pocket spirit level features an aluminium body with ABS plastic end caps. At just 100mm (4") long, it fits in any standard work pocket. A single 90° vial handles both horizontal level and plumb checks.

The magnetic base grips to metal surfaces, leaving both hands free to adjust and align. One face of the body shows metric measurements in mm and cm increments. The opposite face shows imperial measurements in inches.

Key Features and Benefits

• Magnetic Base: Attaches directly to metal surfaces, keeping both hands free during alignment.
• Horizontal and Plumb Readings: One vial covers both horizontal level and vertical plumb checks without switching tools.
• Lightweight Build: The aluminium body with ABS end caps keeps the tool easy to carry throughout the day.
• Dual-Sided Ruler: Read metric (mm/cm) or imperial (inches) from the same tool without reaching for a second.
• Pocket-Sized: Compact enough to sit in a standard work pocket for quick on-site checks.
• Lifetime Guarantee: Blue Spot Tools backs this level with their manufacturer's lifetime guarantee.

Typical Applications

• Levelling shelves and picture hooks before wall fixing
• Aligning socket boxes and light switch plates
• Setting steel studwork and metal framing - the magnetic base holds the level hands-free
• Checking door frames and window reveals for plumb
• Spot-checking alignment in confined or restricted-access spaces
• Taking short metric or imperial measurements on a work surface

How to Use

• Prepare the Surface: Remove dust and debris from the surface to be measured.

• Place or Attach: Rest the level flat on horizontal surfaces, or use the magnetic base on ferrous metal surfaces.

• Read the Horizontal Vial: The bubble must sit centred between the two lines for a true level reading.

• Check Plumb: Hold or magnetically attach the level against a vertical surface. A centred bubble confirms plumb.

• Use the Ruler: Read the metric scale (mm/cm) on one face or the imperial scale (inches) on the reverse for short measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is a spirit level used for?
  A spirit level checks whether a surface is horizontal (level) or vertical (plumb). It uses an air bubble inside a liquid-filled vial to indicate true alignment.

• Why is it called a spirit level?
  The name comes from the mineral spirit solution traditionally used inside the vials. Manufacturers historically chose alcohol-based liquids as they resist freezing and allow the bubble to move freely.

• What does a 90° vial mean on a spirit level?
  The 90° designation means the vial can read plumb (vertical) as well as horizontal. Hold the level upright against any vertical surface to check if it is plumb.

• How do you test a spirit level for accuracy?
  Place the level on a flat surface and note the bubble position. Flip it 180° end-to-end along the same line. If the bubble sits in the same position, the level is accurate.

• What surfaces does a magnetic spirit level stick to?
  Magnetic spirit levels attach to ferrous metal surfaces such as steel studwork, iron pipes, and structural steel. They do not adhere to aluminium, copper, or non-metallic surfaces.

Summary

The Blue Spot Tools 100mm (4") pocket spirit level handles both horizontal and plumb checks in a compact, magnetic format. It attaches to metal surfaces for hands-free use and includes dual-sided metric and imperial measurements.
