Stanley 43-549 FATMAX Magnetic Box Level (48-inch)
The Stanley 43-549 is a heavy-duty, 48-inch (1200 mm) magnetic box level engineered for precision alignment in industrial, construction, and structural environments. Built around a durable, single-piece aluminum box-beam, this level integrates powerful rare earth magnets to ensure a highly secure, hands-free hold on ferrous surfaces.
Designed for maximum field reliability, the 43-549 features a MaxEdge bridged center vial that enables a continuous marking surface. Its block vials are rigorously calibrated to deliver a professional accuracy of 0.0005 in/in (0.5 mm/m). The tool also incorporates large, ergonomic rubber over-molded hand grips for carrying ease, while shock-absorbing end caps and side bumpers protect the frame and safeguard finished surfaces from incidental damage.
