The Stabila spirit level from ITS is engineered for tradesmen who demand accuracy and durability on every job. Known for exceptional German engineering, these aluminium profile spirit levels deliver long-term performance and come with a 10 year global manufacturer’s warranty that starts from the date of purchase.
In this article we explore Stabila’s 10 year warranty, the why how where and when
What the 10 Year Warranty Covers
The Stabila aluminium profile spirit level warranty protects against:
• Material and manufacturing defects for 10 years
• Free repair or replacement of defective levels at Stabila’s discretion
• Worldwide coverage, reinforcing your statutory rights with an additional guarantee
What the Warranty Does Not Cover
• Frames bent or warped due to drops or misuse
• Damage caused by incorrect handling or unauthorized modifications
• Natural wear and tear or minor blemishes that do not affect accuracy
• Cosmetic scuffs, fogging, or bubble movement that does not impact usability
Why Stabila Spirit Levels Rarely Fail
Locked Vial Installation Technology
Each vial is permanently bonded into the profile, creating a stress-free, immovable system that remains accurate for years.
Five-Stage Quality Control
Every Stabila spirit level undergoes rigorous production line testing to meet tight tolerances, ensuring reliability backed by the decade-long warranty.
High-Precision Vial Design
Vials made from UV-stable acrylic glass with anti-static properties and precision-ground rings remain clear and accurate even in extreme temperatures from −20 °C to +50 °C.
Reinforced Aluminium Construction
Torsion-resistant R profiles and box beam frames provide strength and impact resistance, maintaining accuracy on demanding job sites.
Tradesmen consistently report that Stabila spirit levels hold their accuracy over many years, with minimal fluid leakage and outstanding performance even under harsh conditions.
How to Make a Warranty Claim
- Keep proof of purchase or register your level.
- Send the level to Stabila or an authorised service centre.
- Provide a brief description of the fault.
- Stabila will assess and decide whether to repair or replace it.
- Repairs do not extend the original 10-year warranty, and replaced parts remain Stabila property.
