Stabila Type 96 M Level - 48"
The Stabila 38648(Model: 38648) is a professional‑grade 48-inch Type 96M magnetic level engineered for framers, finish carpenters, metal‑stud installers, and builders who require uncompromising accuracy and maximum durability. Its rare‑earth, flush‑mounted magnets generate powerful holding force, enabling completely hands‑free operation on steel studs, beams, and structural metal surfaces.
Built from a reinforced rectangular aluminum box‑beam profile, the 96M is designed to resist twisting, bowing, and jobsite abuse. Stabila’s precision‑milled measuring surfaces ensure accurate readings in every orientation, while the company’s signature epoxy‑locked acrylic vials guarantee lifetime accuracy—never leaking, fogging, or drifting out of calibration.
The 38648 also features spring‑steel hairline indicators for crisp visual alignment, two ergonomic rubber‑shielded hand grips, and removable shock‑absorbing end caps with patented wall‑grip pads for stability and precise flush measurements.
