This Empire extendable level is made very well and is of much better quality than I would expect for the price. The sales pitch advises this level will replace 3 levels -4′, 6′ & 6.5′. I won’t be getting rid of my other levels but I have found this level works for things the others cannot, such as laying out shelving in a walk-in closet whose dimensions are just long and short enough that the other standard levels are more problematic and time consuming to use. This level is built and designed with the profession contractor in mind and is sturdy as well as accurate. What impresses me most is the quality and feel of the extension -I have seen other brands and the extended part fits inside the main body of the level so the only part of the extension that is on the same level line as the main body is the very end of the extension. That is not the case with this tool at all. One cannot have enough levels of different sizes when doing all kinds of carpentry projects and having a quality adjustable level like this one is just icing on the cake (I own 4 other Empire box levels besides this adjustable one and I have only praise for them all). This is a great tool and a must have for any one. I highly recommend it.

Overall I’m happy with the product but my biggest complain is that it’s not magnetic like the rest of my Empire levels. I do like how there is measurements on the level when extending. Extends nice, level works good. Weight is not bad, it’s not light, I think my 6’ might weigh less actually but still I’m happy with it and would recommend it. I wish they made it magnetic though.

Very stable and accurate.

Should have been the exact 4 feet other than that it’s good

Very helpful, but at odd angles cannot see the bubble. I would have paid more for digital with the extension option. Same with the smaller version. Seem well made though

Empire True Blue is known for it’s accurate levels and this model is no exception. The bubbles are well designed and protected from damage. This is however one of the heaviest and clunky 24 inch levels I have handles. In part this is due to the extra material needed for the extendable function which this design achieves quite well. If I compared this level to a 40 inch level the weight and clunkiness is much less of a nuisance. The extendable arm is extremely sturdy and I anticipate it would take extreme trauma to affect the trueness and accuracy. This extendable feature allows the user to level between two objects with ease. The extendable arm is equipped with a reverse ruler that allow the user to measure the length of the level at any extendable distance. I recommend this level but with an average rating primarily due to the weight and clunky feel mentioned above. If the extendable feature is something a person would need on a daily basis then this is exactly what you need but as a primary 2 foot level to carry on the job it is a bit too much.

Better than Stabila 80T! I’m shocked. Specifically, the continuous scribing edge of the extension member is absolutely in plane with the level body. Also, the slide mechanism is designed so that it is always aligned, without need to actuate a locking mechanism. How long this level will retain its accuracy (the parameter on which Stabila hangs its hat) remains to be seen.That said, every extendable level suffers from weighing much more than its fixed length counterpart. But the versatility trumps this inconvenience, IMO.

Another quality level from Empire. With this level you can end up replacing at least three of your common used levels (48″, 72″ and 78″). So when you think about the fact this level will save you in storage in having the carry the around 3 levels its worth the cost. Additionally, Empire gives a limited lifetime warranty on the vial and casing so that is another bonus for the level.The level is also pretty precise with a very low inaccuracy tolerance level. The level also gives you a tool free end caps removal, adjustable slide control and an integrated ruler. The vials are super easy to read and well positioned. The ruler markings are a dark black on a silver background so makes it super easy to read.Overall this is a quality product that will greatly assist in you being more efficient since you will be able to replace 3 levels with this one level.

This is the perfect size level for general use, IMHO. 24″ is easy to handle, but you can go all the way to 40″ as required. The weight is also great – I’ve seen some expandable levels that were so heavy that you would probably not carry them with you unless you were sure you were going to need it. There is a scale which shows the overall length of the level and the slide, although I’m not sure I would use that instead of just grabbing a tape measure. The level works both laying down and standing on edge, and laying down you can see level in both the ‘X’ and ‘Y’ directions at the same time – a real timesaver.

Fantastic level and an overall great valueI have Milwaukee RedStick Levels and so I’ll be comparing this level to those.I chose this level because I do custom cabinets and frequently install in places that are between 48″-72″. It’s nice to be able to extend a line across the space and not have to re-position the level. I think this can replace a variety of levels due to its ability to extend which saves room packing tools for installs. Flatness – the level is perfectly flat compared to my 72″ Digital RedStick, I can’t see any light between the two even when the Empire is extended to its full capacity. I also don’t feel any flex when the Empire is fully extended which makes me very comfortable using it. Extension Size – the extension is the full height of the level. I first thought that wouldn’t be the case based on the pictures but was relieved when I saw that it is the same as the body of the level. This is perfect for marking lines above or below the level. Construction – very well built. It is strong and study. It weighs more than my 48″ Milwaukee but I expected that. I love my RedStick levels and this is of the same build quality as those. The extension mechanism impressed me. It is a sliding dovetail made from aluminum (at least that’s what is seems like) and because the dovetail is very wide, there is no wiggle or flex. I think this will be a very durable mechanism over the life and use of this level and I was impressed that they used this design.Bubble Visibility – this is the only spot where I think the Empire is not on par with the Milwaukee. While the blue vial and bubble is very easy to see, I think the yellow liquid and slightly bigger bubble of the Milwaukee is a bit easier to see, especially in low light. I don’t think there is a big difference between the two, but the RedStick has the advantage. I also think the RedStick bubble vials are protected a bit better than the Empire. I don’t think that will make a difference for what I do and I cannot see myself breaking the vial. The Empire is still very stout and protects the vial from damage, but again, advantage RedStick.Overall, I am very impressed with this level. I love its simplicity, durability, features, construction, and ease of use. I highly recommend this product; especially for saving space and money by having a single level that can do many jobs.

I have been a builder remodeler for 49 years, and as such I have many opportunities to use a tool like this EMPIRE 24 IN. TO 40 IN. TRUE BLUE EXTENDABLE BOX LEVEL. These Empire levels are of very high quality, the slide extensions have zero play, so are very accurate when extending them to measure longer spans. I have Empire’s 8’ level as well, and I am more than satisfied with it. But these extendable levels are a another step forward, and I love them!

This is a nice level, however it is significantly thicker and heavier than a standard level. I ended up keeping it but I’m not sure I would order it again knowing how bulky it is.

Super easy to read, and it is awesome in cramped areas!
Katelynn Emard (verified owner) –
The Empire level is ideal for diyer or pro. The level site glass is constructed with a strong covering to protect the ‘bubble’ in the event you drop the level. The level is 24 inches long and easily extends to 40 inches. I am very impressed with the quality of the materials. Not much plastic on this tool. It is a bit on the heavy side, but a small price to pay for having quality metal construction rather than plastic.

It’s a challenge keeping a level on a job. I have a pocket level, a two foot level and a six foot level. What I don’t usually have is the right level for the job at the moment I need it. This 24 to 40 inch level is a great convertible level for a tool bag. 24 inches long it fits into a normal toolbox. But the beauty is its ability to expand to 40 inches for that level self measurement or that oversized picture over the coach. A great gift for the home handyman or even better for the professional who has almost every tool!

I have wanted an adjustable length / extendable level for years. Sometimes the length of the level doesn’t really matter, but I regularly want to use a level in places where a 24″ is too short and a 36″ or 48″ level is too long. This extendable level is perfect for those situations.The level is very solid and relatively heavy. The extendable portion slides very smoothly, with no looseness or play, even when fully extended. It feels very well made and high quality.The level is very high quality, with perfectly machined serrations on the top and bottom. The extendable section has length markers in both inches (quarter inches) and centimeters.One end cap on the main level body is removable. There is one horizontal vial and one vertical vial. The bubble in the blue vials provides plenty of contrast and is easy for me to see and center.The ability to extend this level makes it much more flexible and convenient for different situations, so I suspect I’ll be grabbing this one instead of my 24″, 32″, or 48″ levels.If you need a single level that can cover a wide range of lengths, this is a great option.

This is a review on a 24 to 40 inch expandable box type aluminum level use it a couple times so far seems to work rather well just wouldn’t think you don’t have enough links on it you can extend it out to 40 inches and it dusty pretty true the whole way through I’m I’m really impressed with it I would recommend this to anybody that is replacing the box level looking for something to give you a little bit of expansion that works great on doors would recommend
