The company's True Blue level line now includes the em71 series of magnetic levels. Available in 24-, 48-, and 78-inch models, the levels feature rare earth neodymium magnets positioned on the frame to line up with standard spacing of hinge plates, the maker says, allowing for use on wood and steel jambs. The levels' True Blue vials have blue bands that darken and define the bubble perimeter and provide enhanced visibility. 800.558.0722. www.empirelevel.com.
