Crick Level

[@dlaird88]

Had the same 5 layer Crick for 15 years still reads true best level on the planet

[@therichboy1012]

The best levels, my dad always used them in brick!

[@1889michaelcraig]

Best levels made hands down. I have a crick 48 8years old. Still perfect. I also have a smith 24 less than a month old and its twisted.

Used them for years.Great levels !

[@Smokey420Greenleaf]

great levels but way too fancy and over priced for their own good. seems Crick has lost touch with reality and their customers honestly. to get a decent 24 and 48 inch level from crick directly, i would be paying roughly $450.... that's for two levels that in all reality, i expect to last maybe 2 years if im lucky. i have been doing masonry work for a little over 20 years now, and one of the many lessons i've learned is that it doesnt matter what name is on your tools, how pretty they look, or how many idiots you impress with the label, what matters is that your tools get the job done by the end of the day, do so without falling apart, and if they do fall apart, it doesnt cost a small fortune to replace them and continue working. Levels are a pretty old technology, its not like we're talking space age, lazer guided flugleflorps, and despite the claims made in this video, Crick is not the most accurate level you can buy... in fact, Crick levels are rated accurate to within .015", where Sands, a company that makes very comperable products in both style and function, and costs literally half as much, makes levels rated accurate to within .0004" which is a substantial difference when it comes to splitting hairs. honestly though... another lesson doing masonry work for over 20 years has taught me... there are very few professions in the applied skills part of trade work that require that kind of accuracy. for the average mason, who is about 80% of crick's customer base, being within 1/16th of an inch over 10 feet would be an amazing achievement.

Just bought two cant wait to use them on the fireplace I'm building.

[@burna803]

my last name is Alford so I can't do anything but trust crick levels. Alford is a trustworthy name

[@Smokey420Greenleaf]

um.... never heard of your name and really couldnt care less. crick is over priced trash, sands levels are made in the exact same factory to the exact same standards and are half the price.

Smith levels ftw

[@kaelynburns49]

smith levels!!

[@richardvalentine9990]

2 footer plus coming apart .Craftsmanship not what it was .Oh did I mention 2 years old.Garbage since Marshalltown acquisition.

[@victorolivares397]

Ware can I have a costum level

[@frednowicki7355]

As a mason,there is no doubt that Crick and Smith make beautiful levels.The problem is both companies need to get out of the 19 TH. century and retire the archaic curved glass vials. Get into the 21 ST. century and start using solid block acrylic vials. Many believe Stabila makes the best / most accurate levels. In the U.S. that was true until Sola penetrated the U.S. market in 2007. They are in fact the oldest and largest level maker in the world. Their vials glow in dim light, have built in magnification and bubble fits exactly between lines,which means nothing is subjective or interpretive when viewing the bubble. If Crick or Smith would match that accuracy,I would go back to them because of the beauty of their levels,however,I need function with beauty. That is why Sola is my level of choice.

[@victorolivares397]

Fred Nowicki hey men you use sola levels for brick work?

[@theodoresanchez3908]

Aluminum levels?

[@ColoradoCarrolls]

Any Aluminum Level for Masonry is junk, Not only because it reacts to Temp more than wood but once it hits hard it will read different then before. As a 40+ yr Mason and now teach I prefer SMITH,.... CRICK is a close second but anything other then Wood is a DEFINITE NO-NO in THE Masonry Industry.

[@Smokey420Greenleaf]

@@ColoradoCarrolls any mason worth their name should've learned to never beat on their level from their first day as an apprentice. seriously, when i was in training, if you were caught even lightly tapping your level, it was taken away along with your trowel and you were put on hod carrying duty for a week. yeah i know we all still do it from time to time but being stupid enough to mistreat your tools is a you problem, not a tool problem.

[@ColoradoCarrolls]

@@Smokey420Greenleaf Guess you thought banging on your level to get material level? No, meant falling off the scaffolding which does happen. HOD? you mean Mason tender? Lets call it what is instead of what it used to be back in the 20's
