Stabila Type 196 6-Piece Level Set – 16–78 in Levels + 10 in Torpedo | Lifetime Accuracy

Overview of the Stabila Type 196 Level Set

The STABILA Type 196 Classic 6 Level Set brings together five sturdy spirit levels—16, 24, 32, 48, and 78 inches—plus a 10-inch torpedo. All are housed in a protective carry case, designed for professionals tackling varied projects from small-scale repairs to longer runs. The kit is built to endure demanding job sites, combining rugged construction with precise measurement capabilities you can rely on as you work.

At the heart of this set is the LOCKED VIAL system, a design that supports long-term accuracy across uses and positions. STABILA backs this concept with a lifetime accuracy guarantee, offering consistent readings as you move between tasks. The vials themselves are bright and highly visible, ensuring quick checks even in busy or dim environments. The ballast of the aluminum profile is reinforced with ribs for extra stability, and slip-stop end caps help hold the level in place during marking and adjustment tasks.

Real-world uses and practical benefits

Whether you’re aligning cabinet bases, laying out long runs, or checking plumb on shelves, this kit provides readings across a broad range of project sizes. The magnetic torpedo offers quick reference on metal surfaces, while the larger inch levels support expansive layouts with reliable precision.

All tools store securely in the included case, helping you stay organized on site and during transport. While results depend on technique and conditions, many users value the combination of clear visibility, durable build, and consistent accuracy as elements that support professional workflow rather than guarantees.
