Spirit level Type 196-2 for work with high demands STABILA

STABILA Type 196-2 spirit level is engineered in Germany to meet the demands of professional applications. Its ultra-rigid aluminium profile features reinforcing ribs and two precision-milled measuring surfaces (coated from 183 cm), ensuring dependable stability and accurate measurements at all times.

Two vertical vials enable readings from multiple positions, while a horizontal vial adds further versatility for leveling tasks.

Each end is equipped with shock-absorbing caps composed of a two-component mix that protects the profile against impact. The removable design of these caps allows precise positioning and marking right into corners.

A slip-stopper on the caps helps keep the tool firmly in place when making markings, and large finger-grip openings enhance ease of handling.

The Type 196-2 spirit level is powder-coated, making it easy to clean, even after heavy on-site use. STABILA’s locked vial system safeguards long-term accuracy by preventing shifting within the frame, resulting in a consistent measurement accuracy of ± 0.5 mm/m in both normal and reverse positions.
