Not sure why lesser size are priced more.

Tough Structo-Cast frame is non-conductive and will not scratch fine wood or painted surfaces
Durable easy-read acrylic vials are impact resistant
Quick-Change replaceable vial covers

It's cheaper than the smaller ones because this is a 4 ft PLASTIC level. They can rename it all they want. This is cheap because it will warp if left in the sun and is prone to breaking if dtopped.

Looked at this recently too but ultimately decided not to purchase because of the lack of a ruler on the side.

How is this any different from the normal $10 ones at HD? HD one has a ruler too and probably same cheap plastic?

For a few dollars more I would recommend this one.

The smaller ones are the same material.

You don't want to drop any of them. My old Sands levels have adjustable vials, but I don't think any of the new ones are. Thus, I am a bit anal about my personal Stabila levels.... I don't even want them bumped around, let alone dropped.

For these cheaper levels, or really, for any level, you really want to check them out in the store on a post for plumb and the floor for level by turning them side to side and then end for end to make certain the bulb is in the same exact spot. And then check again for whatever project..I checked about a dozen Stanley levels before choosing one that was spot on with all three vials.

If you're OCD like me, get a laser level! I always second guess myself when using these spirit levels.

Bavm already gave my answer. Also, most Husky products have lifetime warranties through Home Depot.
