Proprietary Technology

Six innovations that make Empire Level the professional's choice for measuring and layout — engineered and manufactured in Mukwonago, WI.

TRUE BLUE® Vial Technology

.0005″ accuracy

Accurate to .0005″ per inch in all ten working positions. Advanced Concentric Molding (ACM™) ensures consistent vial quality across every level produced.

ULTRAVIEW™ LED System

All-condition visibility

Patented dual LED lights with optical brightener and e-BAND™ vials deliver high-definition level readings in any lighting condition — from bright sunlight to dark crawlspaces.

Laser-Etched Graduations

2X more accurate

Pioneered laser etching on rafter squares in 2015. Delivers 2X the accuracy of standard stamped squares with permanent markings that won’t wear off over time.

e-BAND™ Vials

Dual-angle reading

High-contrast acrylic vials permanently armored in crystal-clear Lucite blocks as part of the Empire Viewing System (EVS™). Readable from both top and side angles.

eShock™ End Caps

Drop protection

Shock-absorbing end caps protect level accuracy after jobsite drops and impacts. Engineered to maintain calibration through the toughest working conditions.

BLADE-LOCK™ System

Instant lock

Fast adjustment and secure hold for combination squares. Quickly position and lock the blade for precise measurements without drift or play.

How to Choose the Right Level for Your Project

Box Levels

24" & 48" Box Levels: The workhorses of any jobsite. Use 48" for framing walls, setting cabinets, and general construction. The 24" fits tighter spaces like countertops and shelving.
TRUE BLUE® (e75/e70 Series): Best-in-class accuracy to .0005" per inch. Choose these for finish carpentry, cabinet installation, and any work where precision matters most.
ULTRAVIEW™ LED (e95 Series): Built-in LED lighting for reading vials in dark attics, basements, and crawlspaces without a flashlight.

Torpedo & Specialty Levels

Torpedo Levels (9"-12"): Compact and pocket-friendly for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC work. Magnetic models grip metal pipe and conduit for hands-free leveling.
Digital Levels (e105 Series): Inspector-grade accuracy with auto-calibration and seven measuring modes. Ideal for slope verification, pitch calculations, and code compliance checks.
eXT Extendable Levels: Adjustable length for custom applications — carry fewer levels while handling more jobs.
