We are celebrating 130 years of STABILA with this limited-edition and exclusive Established 1889 Edition 4-Piece Level Set. Limited production quantity of this special 4-piece 1889 Edition set establishes the bar for quality and value in the spirit level category. Celebrate with us and don't miss out on the 1889 Edition.

The 4-piece level set consists of a pocket level, 16" level, 24" level and 48" level. Certified vial accuracy is +/- 1/32" (top read) over 72", and +/- 3/64" (bottom read) over 72". All four levels come with a contrasting "EST. 1889" branding on the face of each level.

 
Oh Rats Dude!

I saw that set on Instagram and checked your site two days ago and it wasn't there.  So I ordered from a competitor.  Sorry.

Thanks Shane. Like Peter said your two days late on this one.
Sorry you missed the order.
Rick.
 
For a signature "anniversary" set, why do you think they downshifted to offer 80 and 70 series, rather than a flagship like 196 or R-beam? Seems analogous to Festool's release of the $99 orbital a few years ago: basically a loss-leader to bring on board new users who have been too intimidated by price to take their first taste of the brand. No doubt a good strategy, but not of much interest to long-time loyal customers. Wish they would have done something similar with the new digital angle tools.
 
It would be nice it the model numbers of each level were listed along with accuracy.
$79 for four levels sounds like HO quality.

If I'm going to replace my current levels I want to improve not degrade my accuracy.

From the Stabila website there is an image.  Unfortunately I can’t make out everything when zooming in.  Perhaps someone has a high resolution image or can read the accuracy on the levels.

Speaking of Stabila levels, I have a brand new in box Type 196-2 Digital TECH Level 72" 36572 I can sell.  My kids bought me one not knowing that I had gotten a deal on one a couple weeks prior.  If interested PM me.
 
Here's what I was able to do.
There appears to be TWO sets in which some levels are different in each set.
If you open the second snip full size you can make out the accuracy printed on each level.
I didn't find anything in the descriptions though, must be there somewhere.

Isn’t the difference just (only) 100 vs 120 cm ?

Look to be that is the only difference. I see ToolNut has added a little more info on the web page. Thanks.
I'm guessing it's the 1889-2 set since they list the 48" level.
