Starrett Pocket Level 135A – 2-1/2 inch Hex Stock Satin Nickel, Main Vial for Machine Shop & Tool Room

The Starrett 135A pocket level brings precision to the palm of your hand. At just 2-1/2 inches long, it slides into a pocket or tool tray for quick checks on the go.

The hexagonal brass body wears a satin nickel-plated finish that resists corrosion, standing up to the daily rigors of a busy workshop. This pocket level is built for reliability in a range of settings, from machine shops to field measurements, engineering benches to metalworking stations.
