DEWALT 72-inch Premium I-Beam Level (DWHT42169)

The 72-inch Premium I-Beam Level is a heavy-duty, long-span leveling tool designed for precision and durability across framing, installation, plumbing, cabinetry and general construction tasks. Its long length makes it especially useful for leveling over large surfaces — such as walls, floor joists, ledger boards, long cabinets, or beams — where shorter levels might miss subtle dips or crowns. Built for job-site conditions, it balances lightweight portability with a rigid, straight I-beam frame for reliable accuracy.

• Solid block vials with high accuracy: Uses block-style vials rated at ± 0.0005 in/in for superior precision and long-term durability compared to standard vials.
• Precision-machined usable surface: The contact surfaces are machined for straightness, ensuring accurate contact when leveling or aligning lumber, studs, beams, or other flat workpieces.
• V-groove base: The base features a V-groove, allowing accurate placement and leveling on flat surfaces and rounded or cylindrical materials (e.g. pipes, handrails) — increasing versatility on site.
• Shock-absorbing over-molded end caps: End caps help protect the level from impacts or drops, improving on-site durability.
• Lightweight aluminum I-beam frame: Despite its 72-inch length, the aluminum construction keeps the weight manageable (≈ 5.1 lb), making it easier to carry around job sites, up ladders, or across long work areas.
• Three vials (level, plumb, slope/angle): Allow checking horizontal (level), vertical (plumb), and angled surfaces — useful for varied framing, installation, or layout tasks.
• Two hand-holes for easier carrying: Built-in handholes help with balanced carrying and ease of maneuvering through doorways or around materials.
