Need a level that reads true every time, whether you're hanging cabinets or setting posts? Empire levels bring the accuracy serious tradies and DIYers rely on for framing, fit-outs and finish work. From compact torpedo models to full-length digital units, Empire builds tools that handle the grind and keep your lines dead straight.
An Empire spirit level gives you classic bubble vial reliability across timber, metal and masonry work. For tighter spots and quick checks, grab an Empire pocket level or torpedo level, both sized to slip into your pouch without the bulk. When you're after precision with a digital readout, digital models deliver angle measurements down to the decimal, making complex cuts and slope work faster and more accurate.
The Empire 1200mm digital spirit level handles long spans with ease, while the Empire magnetic level locks onto steel beams and conduit for hands-free operation. Need to lay out grid lines or check heights across a room? An Empire laser level projects clean reference points that save time on layout and alignment.
Empire also stocks digital tools like the Empire digital angle gauge, perfect for setting mitres, checking bevels and transferring angles without guesswork. Whether you're a chippy squaring frames, a sparkie running conduit or a tiler setting falls, there's a tool built to match the job.
Come see the full range of Empire levels online or at a nearby Tool Kit Depot location, where we stock levels, laser measures and measuring wheels to keep every job on point.
Empire level FAQ
What is an Empire level used for?
Empire levels check plumb, level and angle across construction, fit-out and trade work. They're built for chippies, brickies, sparkies and tilers who need reliable readings on walls, floors, beams and frames. Digital models add precise angle measurement for complex cuts and slopes, while magnetic versions free up your hands when working on steel or metal surfaces.
Are Empire spirit levels accurate?
Yes, Empire spirit levels are accurate and built to hold their calibration through regular site use. Vials are set to tight tolerances, typically within 0.5mm per metre or better depending on the model. Digital versions offer even finer precision with decimal-degree readouts. Like any level, accuracy depends on proper care, so avoid dropping them or storing them with weight on the vials.
Which Empire digital level is best for tradies?
The best digital level depends on the work you're doing most. For general framing and fit-outs, the 1200mm digital spirit level gives you long-span coverage with a clear digital display. If you're working in tighter spots or need portability, a shorter digital model with magnetic edges works well for steel stud, conduit or metalwork. Look for features like backlit displays, memory hold and auto-shutoff to make the tool easier to use on site.
How do I calibrate an Empire digital spirit level?
Most digital spirit levels come pre-calibrated and hold accuracy through normal use. If you suspect drift, check the user manual for calibration instructions, as many models have a simple reset or calibration mode you can access via button combinations. Place the level on a flat, stable surface and follow the on-screen prompts to zero out the reading. Some tradies keep a known-flat reference surface on site to double-check calibration before critical work.
What's the difference between an Empire torpedo level and a pocket level?
Both are compact, but a torpedo level is typically longer and shaped for one-handed use in tight spaces like stud bays or between joists. A pocket level is shorter again, designed to slip into a shirt pocket or pouch for quick checks on small surfaces. Torpedo levels often include magnetic edges and multiple vials for plumb, level, and sometimes 45-degree angles, while pocket levels focus on portability and fast reads.
