The Empire 24 in. True Blue Magnetic Digital Box Level with Case is a digital box level built for layout, installation, grade checking, and precision leveling work. This is a box level designed for accurate horizontal, vertical, and overhead measuring on the jobsite. Model Number EM105.24. It is a strong fit for contractors, remodelers, metal workers, and serious DIY users who want more than a standard bubble level can give them.

What sets this model apart is how quickly it gets to work. Empire calls it an auto-calibrated digital level, which means the digital readout is ready to measure accurately when powered on. You also get 7 measuring modes, including degree, inches per foot, millimeters per meter, and percent, so you can switch to the format that makes the most sense for the task instead of doing math in your head. For grade work and repeat inspections, the inspect mode is especially useful.

The display setup is clearly aimed at real jobsite use. This level uses dual backlit digital displays, including a top-read display for overhead viewing and an overhead inverted display that automatically flips as the tool is adjusted in overhead applications. That sounds like a small thing until you are holding the level above shoulder height or checking something tight to a ceiling and do not want to twist yourself around just to read the screen. There is also an audio indicator that gives a continuous tone when level and progressive beeps as you approach level or plumb.

Empire also built in several practical control features that help when accuracy matters. Hold mode locks measurements in position for verification, which is useful when you need to pull the tool away and confirm the number. Sync mode lets the digital display sync with the vial. Power save settings can be adjusted to 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes to help preserve battery life during a long day.

From a construction standpoint, this is an aluminum box beam level with precision milled edges and rare earth magnets. The aluminum body keeps weight reasonable while still giving the rigidity you expect from a pro-grade level. The rare earth magnets give it the holding power needed for steel studs, conduit, strut, pipe, and other ferrous surfaces. Removable shock-absorbing end caps add some protection in transit and also help with scribing performance.

For jobsite conditions, the Empire 24 in. True Blue Magnetic Digital Box Level with Case is IP65 rated for dust and water protection. That matters if the tool is riding in a gang box, working in unfinished spaces, or getting pulled out in wet or dirty conditions. The included storage case is another practical plus. A digital level is a precision tool, and having a padded case helps keep the displays and edges protected when it is not in use.

This 24-inch length is a smart middle ground. It is long enough for common install and layout work, but still easy to carry and use in tighter spaces where a longer level becomes clumsy. If you do punch-list work, cabinetry, framing corrections, door and window install, mechanical layout, or slope checks, this size is often the one that gets grabbed first.

If you want a basic level for occasional shelf hanging, this is probably more tool than you need. If you regularly need digital angle readings, repeatable grade measurements, magnetic holding power, and a display you can actually read in awkward positions, this one earns its keep fast.

Empire 24 in. True Blue Magnetic Digital Box Level with Case is the move when a standard level is not enough

This is the kind of level that makes sense the minute you start doing repeatable slope work, metal layout, or overhead checks where reading a vial gets old fast.

• Who it's for: Pros and serious DIY users who need digital readings, magnetic holding power, and a 24-inch level that can handle install work, grade checks, and punch-list accuracy.
• Why it stands out: Auto calibration, 7 measuring modes, backlit dual displays, overhead readability, and IP65 protection give it real advantages over a basic box level.
• Worth knowing: You are paying for precision and convenience here. If you only need a simple bubble level once in a while, this is more tool than necessary. If you use a level every week, it is easy to justify.

• Is this a magnetic level? Yes. It uses rare earth magnets for stronger holding power on ferrous metal surfaces.
• How many measuring modes does it have? It has 7 measuring modes, including degree, inches per foot, millimeters per meter, and percent-based readings.
• Can it be used in dusty or wet jobsite conditions? It is IP65 rated for dust and water protection, which makes it better suited for rough jobsite conditions than a basic digital level.
• Does it include a case? Yes. The product includes a protective storage case.
