Five Useful Sizes

This set covers the lengths most guys actually reach for, from 8 inches up to 72 inches. That means you can handle tight cabinet work, door and window installs, and long layout checks without piecing together a mismatched level collection.

Built for Jobsite Use

The aluminum rectangular profile gives these spirit levels the stiffness and durability you want when they ride in the truck and get used every day. Anti-slip stoppers help keep the level where you put it while you mark and check.

Fast, Clear Readings

Two vertical vials make it easier to read in different positions, and the high-visibility vials are designed for quick checks on the job. The Stabila 29872 Type 80 AS-2 5-Piece Spirit Level Set is made to save time when accuracy matters.

Overview

The Stabila 29872 Type 80 AS-2 5-Piece Spirit Level Set is a professional spirit level set built for layout, installation, framing, finish work, and general construction. This is a spirit level set designed for leveling, aligning, and checking plumb across a wide range of jobsite tasks. Model Number 29872. If you need one kit that covers short, medium, and long checks without bouncing between different brands or profiles, this set makes a lot of sense.

What makes this set useful is the size spread. You get 8 inch, 12 inch, 24 inch, 48 inch, and 72 inch levels, so you can move from tight work inside cabinets or around mechanicals to longer runs on walls, openings, flooring, and framing members. For a pro, that means fewer compromises. For a serious DIYer, it means buying once instead of slowly patching together a set over time.

Each level uses an aluminum housing with a rectangular profile, which matters because it gives the tool the combination of rigidity and everyday durability you want in a hand level. A level that flexes or takes a beating too easily becomes hard to trust. The Type 80 AS-2 design is aimed at users who want a straightforward profile that is easy to carry, easy to set down on material, and dependable over the long haul.

Stabila also calls out its vial installation method as a key part of the build. That is not filler. On a spirit level, the vial is the tool. If the vial and frame do not stay aligned, the reading stops meaning anything. Combined with the high-quality vial design, this set is built around clear readability and long-term dependability, which is exactly what you want when you are checking level and plumb all day.

The two vertical vials are another practical feature. They speed up reading in different positions, especially when you are working around corners, jambs, studs, or other spots where your line of sight is not ideal. That kind of small design detail does not sound flashy, but it helps on real work because it cuts down on awkward body positioning and repeated double-checking.

Jobsite practicality is handled well here too. Anti-slip stoppers help the level stay put during leveling and marking work, and the included carrying case keeps the full set together for transport and storage. That matters more than people think. A level set only earns its keep if the right size is easy to grab, protected between jobs, and not buried loose in the trailer.

This Stabila level set is a strong fit for carpenters, remodelers, general contractors, concrete and masonry crews, metalworking trades, tile installers, and anyone doing layout or installation work where straight, level, and plumb are non-negotiable. If you are the kind of buyer who would rather own a complete matching spirit level set with a case than chase individual lengths later, this is the clean answer.

Pro Tip
