Measuring more than a
century of success
Stabila is celebrating 130 years of innovative tools, which tradesmen
have relied on since its cutting-edge folding ruler was launched in 1889.

P
recision measurement is essential to a range of
applications, from DIY to construction and automotive
and even interior design.
“Professionals across the board must be able to rely
absolutely on the accuracy of their measuring tools.
However, this year we have something particularly special
for the select few,” comments Charl Weber, Upat’s national
product specialist.
To commemorate 130 years of existence across the globe
(with 70 years in South Africa) Stabila has launched the
limited edition 80AU 1889 Series Measuring Kit, consisting
of a 1m black spirit level, a 60cm yellow level, a 40cm white
level and a 7cm Pocket Pro, which is ideal for checking
electric boxes and other small-space items.
“It’s a perfect gift for DIYers or those in the construction
industry whether they are just starting out or long-time
professionals. The 80AU’s precision is unquestionable, with
0.5mm accuracy and improved range. It is made from a
thicker aluminium than previous levels, making it more

robust,” Weber adds. The collector’s kit makes for a superb
corporate gift for everyone, from industry professionals
to CEOs.
The milestone launch started on 1 March 2019 and Weber
adds that collectors should be quick off the mark. “It really is
a limited edition, with only certain stores receiving stock,”
he says.
The kit is aimed not only at collectors who have
purchased similar commemorative Stabila sets every
decade, but is ideal for anyone who needs a full set of levels
– from bricklayers to electricians. Those fortunate enough to
purchase the kit can also purchase a yellow padded
protective carry bag for safe and convenient transportation.
“Well-established in South Africa and with the technical
backing, distribution and warranty support of Upat, anyone
who purchases the limited-edition 80AU 1889 Series
Measuring Kit will be the proud owner of robust, precision
tools that meet international standards for a lifetime,”
Weber concludes.
