Barcode: 5028734342246

The Blue Spot Tools 9-Inch Heavy-Duty Torpedo Level is designed for fast and accurate measurements in tight spaces.

Who This Product Is For

This torpedo level is suited to tradespeople such as plumbers, carpenters and installers, as well as those undertaking serious DIY projects.

It is appropriate for tasks including fitting kitchen units, hanging cabinets, aligning pipework, trimming doors and checking wall angles in confined areas.

Key Features

• Magnetic Base: Holds firmly to metal surfaces, allowing hands-free use and saving time during installation.
• Impact-Resistant Body: Constructed from ABS plastic to resist knocks and scrapes from site use, reducing the need for replacement.
• Aluminium Frame: Provides added strength without increasing weight.
• Three Vials: Measures horizontal, vertical and 45° angles for multiple alignment tasks, delivering clear readings for quicker set-up.
• Rubber End Caps: Help protect against drops and reduce tool wear.
• Compact Design: Suits confined areas where larger levels are impractical.

Practical Applications

The Blue Spot Tools 9-Inch Torpedo Level is suitable for setting up kitchen units, checking pipe runs, hanging cabinets and trimming doors. It also helps when marking fixing points before you drill. When trimming doors, a clamping straight edge can help you keep your cut line true.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This level is typically used during the installation or alignment phase of a task, after initial marking but before final fixing. It allows you to verify that components are level, plumb or at the correct angle before securing them in place.

For example, when fitting kitchen units, you would mark their positions, then use the level to check they are horizontal before drilling and fixing. Similarly, when running pipework, you would use it to ensure pipes are correctly aligned prior to securing them.

Usage Instructions

1. Surface Check: Wipe surfaces clean to remove dust or grease.
2. Position the Level: Place the tool flat on the area to be measured.
3. Magnet Use: On metal, the base grips automatically—no need to hold.
4. Reading the Vials: Use the correct vial (horizontal, vertical, 45°) for your angle.
5. Adjust as Needed: Move your workpiece until the bubble centres in the vial.
6. Store Safely: Avoid tossing it into toolboxes to preserve the vial’s clarity.

Storage and Maintenance

• Wipe after use to keep the vials clear and accurate.
• Store flat in a toolbox or hang using a tool board to prevent warping.
• Keep away from solvents, which can cause the liquid in the vial to become cloudy.
