I finally upgraded to a full set of Stabila levels, thanks to an Acme Tools deal that’s ending soon.
This set, Stabila 78296, comes with their Type 196 levels in 16″, 24″, 32″, 48″ and 78″ sizes, plus a torpedo level and case.
Shopping around, other retailers are showing the same price as Acme’s starting point, which is $560.

There are 3 different offers attached to this level set right now.
First, there’s a 15% discount, with code 15STABILASET. After adding the level set to your cart, this code takes off $84.
Next, Acme has a “buy more, save more” deal right now where you save up to $75 off $499+ with code CYBERDEAL.
The next-lower tier is $30 off $249+, which is what the Cyber code will get us right now, since the price of the level set has dropped from $560 to $476.
Add at least $23 in eligible tools or accessories to get your order over $499, and you’ll save an extra $45 as the Cyber discount increases from $30 to $75.
I added safety goggles and 2 Milwaukee small magnetic bins to bring my order total up. Maybe add 4 of the small cups, or larger magnetic bin if you’re running out of time to search.

With the levels and 4x magnetic cups in my example cart, and after both coupon codes are added, the order total drops to $405.71 for the Stabila level set and $27.21 for the Milwaukee Packout cups. Added together, that’s around $433, which is less than the $476 it was before.
Ideally you’d choose something you can use. I can use new safety goggles to try out and more Packout magnetic cups, so that’s what I went with.
But, Acme has sweetened the deal even further with another stacking offer that wasn’t available earlier. Now, they’re throwing in a free $15 gift card as part of another “buy more, get more offer.”
So that’s $432.92 for a 6 level set that’s selling for $560 right now, plus a couple of accessories you can use, AND also a $15 gift card.
Stabila levels aren’t discounted very often, and certainly not with 3 stacking promos. If you don’t need this pricey 6 level set, the CYBERDEAL buy more, save more offer applies to other Stabila levels and accessories as well.
WHY did I go with a Stabila level set? The biggest reason is that Ic\ have a bunch of levels from different brands, some purchased and some provided for review consideration, and I’ve found myself with too many holes in between to fill.
I have been working on an increasing number of projects where I need greater consistency and more level sizes. Rather than try to improvise with a 24″ level across an 18″ benchtop depth, I will soon be able to use my new 16″ level.
Similarly, rather than try to work with a 48″ level across a long workbench build, or adjust vertical cabinets and soon door frames, my new 78″ level will come in handy.
I’m tired of the mish-mash of brands and the missing sizes.
Stabila is very well-regarded, and it seems like this will be an interesting long-term review experience.
Anyway, if you want to get in on this deal, or maybe just the CYBERDEAL discount offer that applies to other Stabila levels, hurry up as it’s ending soon. Hopefully Acme Tools will extend the deal another day, but I’m not sure that’s going to happen. And if not, the 3 stacking deals on this level set are going to end tonight.
The Cyber discount ends today, 12/2/24, at 11:59pm CT, and the Stabila 15% discount offer is set to end on 12/15/24. The free gift card offer also ends today.

A magnetic set might be another choice:

Having at least some magnetic levels works better for setting things like corner beads

If you do any amount of framing – this sale might also be an opportunity to pick up a plate level

I did this on Thanksgiving day when they had a $50 off that stacked. $425 and some change for this set was an absolute steal.
