SWANSON® TAKES THEIR NAME TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL!
Frankfort, IL 09/05/2006

Swanson Tool Co., Inc., the originators of the Swanson® Speed® Square, introduced an entirely new line of quality levels, and leveling accessories. The new Swanson® levels consist of an assortment of high-grade professional and heavy duty levels including Top Read, I-Beam, I-Box™, and the professional grade Box Beam level.

The Box Beam level is constructed with an advanced structural aluminum frame, for maximum durability, impact resistant solid block vials, accurate to .00005”, soft hand grips for ease of handling, a v-grooved edge for use on corners and round stock, and the exclusive SuperShock™ end caps. The SuperShock™ end caps are a special proprietary blend of rubber and structural polymer, which allows maximum shock absorption, when the level is dropped or bumped.

The Box Beam level is available in 24”, 48” and 72” non-magnetic, and 24” and 48” magnetic. The magnetic variety utilizes super strong rare-earth magnets, which are internally sealed, via Swanson’s® proprietary IMS™ Technology. Building the rare-earth magnets internally ensures their long life and protects against loss.

Swanson’s® level line also includes an assortment of accessories, including Surface and Cross Check levels, Line levels, Post level, , along with an extensive assortment of professional, heavy duty and DIY Torpedo levels.
