Product Information
Full details
This 120mm Shinwa Sokutei Revo Triple Level is ideal for DIYers and professionals needing precise horizontal and vertical alignment. Its key benefit is the triple vials for multiple angle readings and a strong magnet for hands-free use on metallic surfaces. A potential caveat is its 120mm size, which may be too small for very large projects. The level features a durable construction, high accuracy (± 2.5 mm/m), and a sensitive bubble for detailed work, making it a reliable tool from a reputable Japanese manufacturer.

FAQs
What does 'triple level' mean?
It means the level has three separate vials that allow you to measure horizontal, vertical (plumb), and 45-degree angles accurately.
What is the accuracy of this level?
The accuracy is ± 2.5 mm per meter. This means for every meter of length, the deviation from a true level will not exceed 2.5 mm.
How sensitive is the level?
The sensitivity is 0.5 mm per meter. This indicates how much a surface needs to be out of level for the bubble to move by 0.5 mm at a 1-meter distance.
Can I use this level on wood or plastic surfaces?
Yes, you can. The magnetic feature is most effective on metal surfaces. For wood, plastic, or other non-magnetic materials, you can hold the level in place manually or use clamps.
Is this level suitable for outdoor use?
While durable, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions is not recommended. It is best suited for workshop or construction site environments. Always clean and dry it after use.
What is the length of the level?
The length of this specific model is 120mm.
Where is this product made?
Shinwa Sokutei is a Japanese company, known for manufacturing measuring instruments in Japan.
Troubleshooting
Bubble is not centered when the surface is known to be level.
This may indicate damage or a need for recalibration. Ensure the level has not been dropped or subjected to impact. If the issue persists, contact the manufacturer for support.
Magnet does not hold securely to metal surfaces.
Check the metal surface for paint, rust, or dirt that might be interfering with the magnetic grip. Ensure the level's magnetic base is also clean. For very thin metal, the magnetic force may be weaker.
Bubble is difficult to see.
Ensure adequate lighting in your work area. The liquid inside the vial is typically colored for visibility; if it appears cloudy or discolored, the vial may be compromised.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Offers three-way measurement (horizontal, vertical, 45-degree).
- Magnetic base allows for secure, hands-free attachment to metal surfaces.
- High accuracy (± 2.5 mm/m) suitable for precise tasks.
- Compact and portable design.
- Durable build quality from a reputable brand.
Cons
- 120mm length may be insufficient for large-scale projects.
- Sensitivity of 0.5 mm/m might be less critical for rougher applications.
- Primarily designed for metal surfaces due to the magnet; less utility on non-magnetic materials without assistance.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This level requires no setup. It is ready to use out of the box.
Compatibility:
- The magnetic base is compatible with ferrous metal surfaces (steel, iron).
- It can be used on non-magnetic surfaces by holding it in place or using clamps.
Care:
- Keep the level clean by wiping it with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Store the level in a dry place away from extreme temperatures to prevent damage to the vials.
- Ensure the magnetic surface is free of debris before attaching to a metal surface to maintain a strong hold.
