Amazon.com Product Description
The Stabila Magnetic Jamber Level Set gives you a 78-inch level and a 32-inch level, providing you with a versatile and professional-grade tool combo ideal for setting door frames, headers, sills and thresholds. These levels include flush-mounted, rare earth magnets 10 times stronger than standard magnets which allow you to work hands-free as the level powerfully clings to metal studs, beams and pipes. These levels feature a wider profile for added strength in the box beam frame, and the 78-inch level includes a bridge over the horizontal vial for uninterrupted scribing and increased frame strength. These levels include rubber end-caps and anti-slip wall pads that grip surfaces for added level stability; the end-caps can also be removed for flush measuring when scribing corners or reading tight header and sill openings. With a permanently calibrated, epoxy-locked, crystal-clear design and internal spring steel hairline indicators, these acrylic vials are readable in any direction and have a certified level accuracy of .029 degrees (1/32-inch over 72-inch) in top read position. The longer level comes with 3 vials (1 horizontal and 2 vertical) and the shorter level has 2 vials (1 horizontal and 1 vertical), all of which are guaranteed to never break, leak, or fog. This set is backed by a lifetime limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

Stabila "Jammer" kit -- the 32" was off from the factory
N.B. I would now update this rating to 5 stars. See Addendum below.

This kit comes with two levels, both ""certified" for level to .029 degrees...plus or minus 1/32" over 60"." The 32" level that came in my kit was well out of bounds for good work, and, because I foolishly did not test it, cost me some sloppy work before I stopped having blind faith in Stabila and tested the level. So, four suggestions:

1. ALWAYS test any level you buy IMMEDIATELY when you first get it (so you can return it poste haste, if it doesn't satisfy you) and periodically thereafter -- especially, if your results give you any concern that something besides you might be off...
2. Do not blindly trust any manufacturer, regardless of reputation or guaranty. The unit may be guarantied, but then there's the problem of actually getting a unit exchanged.
3. With levels, there is enough variation, even in Stabila's models, that it pays to actually go to a store with some shim stock and test the level right there, picking one that is dead on. Unless you don't care.
4. Stabila tells us that there is no Parallax problem: "The tradesman can read our vials from any position in a 300 degree arc, without parallax problems. He does not have to position himself at 90 degrees to the vial and bubble in order to get an accurate reading. As any "tradesman" will tell you, this is absolutely not true; ALWAYS read across the CENTER of the vial (try it both ways, yourself; note the difference). Otherwise, you might as well buy a cheap level.

It is true that these levels are about as fine as you can get in a non-adjustable bubble or "spirit" level. If you doubt that, go to stabila.com and they'll tell you how wonderful their product is. They'll also tell you that, regarding their "Laser Spirit Level," "The vial accuracy is .014 degrees (twice as accurate as our best spirit level)." I for one would be GLAD to pay whatever extra this accuracy costs. I think that, since it is available, it should be offered in a "premium" box beam level -- because "3 tenths of a degree, +/- 1/64" in 60" -- is not all that accurate, in my estimation, and makes the argument for adjustable vials. Stabila also states, "We guarantee the accuracy of our vials for the user's lifetime." I like that; let's see what actually happens.

Customer service over the phone at Stabila has been wonderful, so far. Now, I hope that this continues to be so until I get a proper level actually in my hands.
The whole problem could have been avoided if I had followed the suggestions above.

Addendum 1/1/07: I am pleased to report that Stabila replaced my level with a new one that read within its published tolerance. Further, they did it courteously and without hassle. I have used it for quite awhile now, and am very satisfied; kudos for Stabila, a company that stands behind its product. I would change my rating of Stabila to 5 stars if I knew how to modify my prior rating.

You can't get better then these.
I bought this set in 1999. Use them everyday. They have taken alot of abuse over the years, but are still accurate. You can't get a better warranty. A must for any door installer. My crew and I love them.

What a magnetic personality
We all know that Stabila makes the best levels in the world, but this new magnetic jamber set is killer. The magnets are incredible. I even used the 78" level on a wood door frame and Stabila was smart enough to line up the magnets to line up with the door hinges. I was able to work on a wood door frame hands free. This is an incredible set of levels. Any professional worth their salt needs to have this set. Stabila rocks!
