Box level
01
a long level with multiple vials used for measuring horizontal, vertical, and 45-degree angles, providing accurate leveling over larger surfaces
What is a "box level"?
A box level is a type of level with a rectangular, box-like shape, designed for measuring horizontal and vertical surfaces. It typically features three bubble vials: one for checking horizontal alignment, one for vertical, and often a third set at a 45-degree angle for angled measurements. The box design makes it sturdy and durable, ideal for use in construction, carpentry, or other projects where precision and strength are required. Box levels are often larger than other types of levels, allowing for more accurate measurements over longer distances.
Example
The carpenter used the box level to make sure the wall was perfectly straight.
He placed the box level on the table to verify that it was level before setting up the equipment.
