Swanson Post Level
Score: 65/100Rankings
The Swanson TL009M is a 9-inch magnetic torpedo level featuring a solid extruded aluminum frame and Super Shock end caps for impact protection. It includes six magnets and a deep V-groove for working with round stock. It is best suited for professional tradespeople working in tight spaces with high drop risks.
The Swanson PL001M is a magnetic composite post level designed for hands-free plumb and level checking on posts and pipes. It features high-impact composite construction and versatile attachment methods, but lacks quantified accuracy data. It is best suited for solo contractors handling one-person installations on metal surfaces.
