I always test my levels for level before buying them. I will take the level and put it on the floor, take note of where the bubble is because I'm not concerned about the floor being level. Then I will flip it over and make sure the bubble is still consistent with the first reading. If it is it's good to take home. If not put it back grab another one and try again. Of course it's only works with straight vile levels it will not work with bent tube vials
My empire 4 foot level's level vial fell out, and the plumb vial has never been right. The first time I used it, I chased my tail trying to figure out why my doors weren't setting right. Then I found out the plumb vial way screwed up. I didn't know Milwaukee owns empire until I emailed empire and I got an email back with a Milwaukee email address. The levels sucked, but the customer service was incredible. No b.s. with having to send in the broken one or sending pictures. They sent me out a new one in 4 days. It was awesome. So I bought a 4 and 2 foot empire levels with the light up vials. I don't know how i was reading the vial without illumination all these years. Working in a house that's being roughed in and the lighting isn't great, those things look like lasers.
Vince....this vid reminded me of that TV commercial where every time you saw the guy, his mustache/beard changed in every shot (kept growing), lol. Loved it when every time shot cut to level, than back wide, you had another level added to the table; I thought it was awesome👍🏻 along w/ showing us the comparisons w/ the bubbles & view ability from each one. Thanks for the knowledge & cool vid....that pocket level is a beast for something “small”💪🏼 Cheers Vince & Nick👊🏼
The strong magnet is a selling point for me. I attach my level to conduit and suspend it out several feet between Unistruts . And it is so frustrating when the level drops off and goes crashing to the concrete floor.
So after watching this, I bought it and loved it until I was installing ganged wall switches and plates! That thing slipped from my hands and fell on the hardwood floor and dented it! I was so upset that I took it and threw outside as far as I could and I heard the neighbours window break! Then some screaming and swearing... long story. Vince, it is machined cast aluminium alright! I love this thing but I am far too clumsy for it. It is solid and precise and great too use... just now in my hands. I started reusing my other plastic yellow pocket level which has fallen on floors a few times without denting them :)
Vince, your Magnanomous review displaying the Magnitude of the Magnetic capability offered by the Milwaukee Micro level is Momentus Man😜 Mmmmmashed the like button for your Massive enthusiasm👍
Not that the pocket level is a bad product, I can not find a convenient pocket in my bags for it. I suppose I could mod it and put a lanyard on it, but. For as much as you pay for a good tool, I'll wait for them to catch up on this one. Thanks for the review Vince.
@@VCGConstruction went to the local Milwaukee store today. They only had the older pocket level with no side magnets, and the rep said they're not importing any Milwaukee or empire levels anymore. Guess I need to go to the Guam Home Depot to buy one lol😂
very cool !!! i use the magnetic empire with the high vis yellow vials...but have been giving the red sticks a look......I did not know they bought empire.... Vince what do you think of the Milwaukee plain vial red sticks that are magnetic .... for metal framing?
What's the better buy....the m12 fuel packout impact drill and drill/driver combo with 2 (2 amp hour batteries) and packout hard case ...or the dewalt Xtreme impact/drill driver with 2 soft cases and 4 (2 amp hour batteries)? Both for $180
Ha Vince sounded like he was in WWF there for a second...”THATS HOW YOU TEST THE MAGNITUDE OF THE MAGNETISM BROTHA.....OOO YEAHHHH SNAP IN TO A SLIM JIM!!!”
Have ya seen the torpedo lighted level from empire Vince it’s a great level it stays lit for a period of time then shuts off by it self you have a great collection of levels yourself keep the great reviews coming
Awesome.....I've seen it but thought it may get lost in tool box.....but now I can use to hang my ⛓🧰tool box to food of my truck.lol...that's red 💪strong
Vince, you should do a comparison between the Stabila and Milwaukee pocket level. A cock off..! Level the playing field, no pun intended, and let the best level WIN...!
I have the Milwaukee torpedo level and the magnets on it or rather impressive. I also have a FatMax torpedo level that is almost the same thing as the Milwaukee and when I got the fat Max I was pretty impressed with the strength of the magnets on it, until about a year later when I got the Milwaukee and found out that there is a huge difference in the strength of the magnets on the Milwaukee compared to the fat Max. I like the fact that that pocket level has side magnets. My pocket level is a husky it is good for the for $5 that it costand magnets on the bottom are fine but not like what you would get on the Milwaukee and also there is no side magnets on the husky
I keep a lot of multi levels around myself and I'm just not going to buy a pocket level if I don't have a level that's as long as my leg or a good 670 torpedo level I'm not happy I even have a level that's taller than me and I'm 6-foot good luck with the pocket level excellent video
That's funny. I like the little pocket level. I really like the Solo Levels. My levels are German BMI levels and some older US made Johnson levels. I wonder if the Milwaukee levels are US made or Communist Chinese made. I know Empire makes parts of there products in the US with a butch of Communist Chinese sourced parts. Just a thought.
What do you think of the Empire level that lights up? Tool Review Zone did a review on it but I didn't see a price? Do you have any idea of the price or how I can find out? Thanks, Rodney
These have the best magnetic but the whole bubble part and white part its connected to the red part are just glued in and loosen off and you can actually wiggle it and bubble will move but base wont move so I took them back to the store to find out that I was the 3rd person in a week to bring them back they gave me my money back and I immediately bought the stabila pocket levels they are way better save yourself the hassle they are garbage
Sorry bro. Thumbs down for lying click bait title. It is what it is. Don't go down that path. Resist the forces of evil that have ruined so many others.
You've gone to a new level Vince..

Just take a reading and spin it 180 degrees. It should read exactly the same both ways.

Got to love Big Red and VGC. Keep up the great work. I’m off to get a pocket level. Thanks Vince.

He just gave the best Rick Flair tool review I've ever seen.
😂👍

Didn't macho man randy savage snapped into a skim jim not Rick Flair WOOOO.
The strong magnet is a selling point for me. I attach my level to conduit and suspend it out several feet between Unistruts . And it is so frustrating when the level drops off and goes crashing to the concrete floor.
This pocket level look great for my work to install data cabinet wall thanks Vince 👍
Thanks Darkmagic you da man! Play play !
This is what I've been looking for Vince! I build hydraulic machines and our machines have to be leveled including the tube runs

"Its gonna hold in place...
When you need it to!"😂👍💯
Hello Vince, check your level one way we do it by setting it down one direction then turn it 180 and if it looks the same both ways its still level
Can you please tell me if the 1/8 and 1/4” pitch marks are accurate? I need it for condensation drains. Thank you.
Vince, your Magnanomous review displaying the Magnitude of the Magnetic capability offered by the Milwaukee Micro level is Momentus Man😜 Mmmmmashed the like button for your Massive enthusiasm👍
🤣🤣🤣👍🏻 thanks Sean!!
Im confused you neven mentioned a feature they missed
😂😂😂😂😂
The feature is the big magnet
I think Vince is trying to prove that he is levelheaded :)
I like the green fluid. It makes the bubble easy to see.
Hope everyone is having a good evening! Keep up the good work!🧰⚙️🔩⚒🛠🧰
I’ll definitely buy it Vince 👍🏽 wow over 117k subscribers I remember when I subscribe we were like 1000. So glad we grow so much and keep growing
Thanks Cuz we appreciate it!!

I almost bought the pocket level today just because it looks cool....lol
Didnt know Milwaukee bought Empire
In stores yet?
Definitely got hyped along with u Vince 1000%....did not think 5 would hold but 17+pounds🤯..🤪
Yeah buddy!!
Magnetic strength is cool and all but what if you were doing floor joist and rafters?
very cool !!! i use the magnetic empire with the high vis yellow vials...but have been giving the red sticks a look......I did not know they bought empire.... Vince what do you think of the Milwaukee plain vial red sticks that are magnetic .... for metal framing?
Wonder what those bubbles look like under a black light..
What's the better buy....the m12 fuel packout impact drill and drill/driver combo with 2 (2 amp hour batteries) and packout hard case ...or the dewalt Xtreme impact/drill driver with 2 soft cases and 4 (2 amp hour batteries)? Both for $180
I love my m12 milwaukee, so beefy yet compact, hard case milwaukee is the cherry on top
Is it the DeWalt 12V?
@@xenonram the newer Xtreme line. Yes 12v
Awesome,thank u gentlemen👍
Thank you George, we appreciate it!
AUTHENTICATE THE AUTHENTICITY, RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT !
Very nice new product. The ones I like was the emperor blue on the bottom on type of level.
I don't want to fork out for a new level. Can i just buy the bubbles and put them in my old one?
Great video Vince !!!!!!
You da man Rich!!
There is a way to test it. Rotate 180 and bubble should read the same spot if Accurate.
Great video Vince
Ha Vince sounded like he was in WWF there for a second...”THATS HOW YOU TEST THE MAGNITUDE OF THE MAGNETISM BROTHA.....OOO YEAHHHH SNAP IN TO A SLIM JIM!!!”
Well look 👀 at that!! Amazing!
Vince testing the stuff that really matters😂
This is great for small jobs
Holy... No way! No level has any business holding that weight! Im pickin one up!
I love this guy
Can you test using a digital level? Might be useful for future video
Have ya seen the torpedo lighted level from empire Vince it’s a great level it stays lit for a period of time then shuts off by it self you have a great collection of levels yourself keep the great reviews coming
kevin klepp
I have it too. Easy on the 👀.
Thanks Kevin, I’ve seen the LED levels a few times, they’re pretty sweet!
Awesome.....I've seen it but thought it may get lost in tool box.....but now I can use to hang my ⛓🧰tool box to food of my truck.lol...that's red 💪strong
Blue vials are best for me on cloudy, overcast days. I just prefer them better all round.
Lol Vince, are you more impressed with the level or the magnets on the level? 🤣🤣
I might have to buy one.
I expect a quality level to have accurate vials but I don’t expect them to hold 20 lbs of weight!! 🤣🤣
I like that pocket level
Vince, you should do a comparison between the Stabila and Milwaukee pocket level. A cock off..! Level the playing field, no pun intended, and let the best level WIN...!
I prefer the green vial fro milwaukee. I have the torpedo and small 4" 48-22-5102 rotating level.
The 48-22-5102 was perfect for checking my miter saw blade and seeing if it was truly set to 90 degrees square
I don’t carry nothing but Stabila contractors don’t question me they know is level 😂
48-22-5603 is the correct number for this pocket level. The number you have is for the Shockwave Right Angle Adapter
I never knew I needed a super pocket magnetized magnet 🧲 in my life 😆
I have the Milwaukee torpedo level and the magnets on it or rather impressive. I also have a FatMax torpedo level that is almost the same thing as the Milwaukee and when I got the fat Max I was pretty impressed with the strength of the magnets on it, until about a year later when I got the Milwaukee and found out that there is a huge difference in the strength of the magnets on the Milwaukee compared to the fat Max.

Hey bro since I saw you video I try to get one of those but I couldn't find anything at Home Depot I live in Cali
Thanks
Is it the Bottle opener ?
Nah
TAKE IT EASY VINCE LOVE YOU.
The headline says it has one flaw. What is the flae
EVERYONE KNOWS STABILA IS THE BEST !!!!
Stabila, Sola, and Johnson are the best (the ones made in Germany, Austria, and U.S.)
Stabila are the best in leveling
@@xenonram Johnson isn't made in Austria anymore, they're made in China.
Nice pocket level
I like the blue bubble on the newer empire levels but the Milwaukee green bubble is nice
I kinda really like the Sola
@@VCGConstruction sola is nice as well
I think the pocket milwakee is the easiest to read 😀
Looks like a Level pyramid lol
I need to pick one up
That's funny. I like the little pocket level. I really like the Solo Levels. My levels are German BMI levels and some older US made Johnson levels. I wonder if the Milwaukee levels are US made or Communist Chinese made. I know Empire makes parts of there products in the US with a butch of Communist Chinese sourced parts. Just a thought.
I believe it’s a mix as well but I can check! Vials are usually made in USA..
@@VCGConstruction Good !!! American manufacturing is essential to are nation.
I love that bottom level what is that like 6 foot level badass dude
What do you think of the Empire level that lights up? Tool Review Zone did a review on it but I didn't see a price? Do you have any idea of the price or how I can find out? Thanks, Rodney
I think the LED levels are pretty sweet!!
17 pounds hanging from the Milwaukee pocket level very impressive
How much caffeine did you have that day?
Not enough!!
Im glad vince is back. The other guy was cool and all but vince is the og
🤣🤣👍🏻
the only missing is the level holder
I think your bench is crooked
Little bit!!
Why don’t they have a light on a level
Couldn’t fit them?!?!
Yep he definitely like pocket levels
Wheres the belt clip??? The most important feature to me the Stabila wins for the belt clip
Damn, Vince. Its not right gloves. You know why? Yes, its not red. ;-)
🤣🤣
#COFFEEE!
How do you put a 9 minute video out on a level.....
Troy see above video :)
I don't like the clear ones Bec just harder to see/read
👍🏻
You love red more than Michael Jackson
id go with johnson levels. or martinez tools.
#VCG4LYFE
These have the best magnetic but the whole bubble part and white part its connected to the red part are just glued in and loosen off and you can actually wiggle it and bubble will move but base wont move so I took them back to the store to find out that I was the 3rd person in a week to bring them back they gave me my money back and I immediately bought the stabila pocket levels they are way better save yourself the hassle they are garbage
There all on level playing field
Gawww not 5 pounds! But 10!
Dang it 4th.

Bipolar magnets LOL

Living off the wall

17 1/2 pounds and your out of weights? I hope you can lift more then that. Hahaha.
All about the form cuz!!
So what is the " big feature " that they missed? I hate your click baity titles dude
I love em
i guess you didnt watch the whole video....the big feature was the level magnets can hold 10 lbs of weight hanging on it
