Why It Stands Out

  • Reinforced Aluminum Profile
    Extra-rigid design with internal ribs ensures maximum stability and resistance to bending or twisting.
  • STABILA Precision Vial Technology
    Vials are permanently locked into the frame for long-term accuracy you can rely on, job after job.
  • High-Visibility Acrylic Vials
    Crystal-clear, wear-resistant vials with fluorescent liquid provide easy, accurate readings in all lighting conditions.
  • Dual Vertical Vials
    Enables fast, reliable readings from multiple positions on select sizes.
  • Precision-Milled Measuring Surfaces
    Two flat-milled surfaces ensure consistent, accurate contact (on models 58" and longer).
  • Removable, Shock-Absorbing End Caps
    Protect against drops while allowing precise measurements right into corners.
  • Slip-Resistant End Caps
    Keeps the level firmly in place during marking and layout work.

Built for the Jobsite

Designed for heavy daily use, the Type 196 is ideal for:

  • Masonry and concrete work
  • Carpentry and woodworking
  • Window and door installation
  • Roadwork and landscaping

Its ergonomic grip design (on longer lengths) ensures secure handling and improved control, even in demanding environments.

Accuracy You Can Trust

  • Measurement Accuracy (Normal): ±1/32" at 72"
  • Measurement Accuracy (Reverse): ±1/32" at 72"
  • Profile: Rectangular with reinforcing ribs
  • Measuring Surfaces: 2 precision-milled surfaces
  • Finish: Electrostatic powder coating for easy cleaning and long-term durability

Built to Last

From its torsion-resistant frame to its impact-protected ends, every detail of the STABILA Type 196 is built for longevity. This is a level that maintains its accuracy even after years of hard use on demanding jobsites.

Professional-Grade Performance

When accuracy matters, this is the level professionals trust. The STABILA Type 196 combines precision engineering with jobsite durability, making it a reliable tool for consistent, high-quality results.
