The Stabila 196-2 Spirit Level is a durable, lightweight tool designed for tradespeople who require precise level and plumb readings on site.

Constructed from extra-strong, light metal with a rectangular profile and a ribbed frame, it features rubberised hand grips and removable end caps with anti-slip wall pads to hold the level steady against a wall with one hand.

It includes two vertical vials and one horizontal vial for quick checks in multiple orientations. Two milled measuring surfaces aid marking along the length; note that the 180 cm variants do not feature milled surfaces.

Accuracy is 0.029° (0.5 mm per metre) in normal position and 0.029° (0.5 mm per metre) for overhead measurements.

Ideal for carpenters, bricklayers, tilers and installers who need reliable alignment on walls, frames and edges. The anti-slip end caps improve one-handed use against vertical surfaces, while the ribbed, light frame resists twisting on busy sites.

• Vials: 2 vertical, 1 horizontal for multi-angle checks
• End caps: removable with anti-slip wall pads
• Measuring surfaces: 2 milled surfaces (except 180 cm variants)
• Accuracy: 0.029° (0.5 mm/m) in normal and overhead positions

Designed for site durability and straightforward use, the Stabila 196-2 helps tradespeople deliver precise level results with confidence.
