Spirit Level Kapro Apollo 180 cm 985-41P

The Kapro Apollo Spirit Level with Handles (985XL) is a versatile box-style level that helps with installing straight and slanted surfaces in construction, installation, and interior jobs. At its core, it has three fixed acrylic vials (horizontal, vertical, and 45°), with a nominal accuracy of ±0.5 mm/m. This covers common leveling needs, from aligning surfaces, frames, machine bases, and equipment stands to checking angles.

The patented Plumb Site® Dual-View™ solution speeds up vertical measurements. It lets you read the vertical vial straight on from the front without looking from the side, which cuts down on parallax errors and makes installs easier in tight spots like doorways, frame structures, and risers. When the vertical is visible from the front, alignment is straightforward even when working alone.

The horizontal vial handles basic leveling, and the 45° vial speeds up setting moldings, railings, and slanted surfaces. Apollo can be flipped completely upside down, so the same tool works for floor and ceiling leveling, plus checking the parallelism of beams' bottom and top surfaces, for example.

The base is finely milled, which improves contact with the surface and reduces slipping, especially on hard, smooth bases. The ends have protectors that absorb shocks and help keep the tool functional on job sites.

The Ergo Grip™ handles are secure and comfy to hold even during long installs. They make it easy to handle the level with one hand and provide a steady grip for alignments done overhead.

Uses:

Drywall and interior lining – Straightening wall frames, studs, and paneling requires repeated vertical and horizontal checks. Plumb Site® Dual-View™ lets you read the vertical straight from the front, so you can easily confirm position without leaning over from the side. The milled base improves grip on drywall, painted surfaces, and metal frames, making solo measuring easier.
Pipe, HVAC, and duct installs – Aligning pipes, ducts, and risers needs control of both vertical and horizontal. The handles give a firm grip, and the fully flippable frame allows floor and ceiling leveling with the same tool. The magnetic version works on steel surfaces, keeping the measure in place so your hands are free to connect fittings.
Door and window installs – For leveling frames and thresholds, the front-view vertical vial reduces reading errors and speeds up adjustments. The 45° vial also helps confirm slopes for trim and window sills. The handles support a controlled grip when lightly pressing the frame into place.
Wood framing and interior work – Leveling counters, shelves, cabinets, and furniture requires quick repeated measurements in different positions. The handled frame is easy to place and move around, and the milled base improves contact against wood. Flipping the level upside down lets you check the opposite edge's straightness without swapping tools.
Electrical and fastening jobs – For installing outlet rows, cable channels, rails, and troughs, repeatable measurements are key. Plumb Site® makes vertical lining up easier, and the 45° vial supports setting angled cable guides.

Features:

Accuracy: ±0.5 mm/m – Good for general construction and install measurements without needing a separate calibration tool.
Vials: Fixed acrylic vials (horizontal, vertical, 45°) – Covers basic needs for straight and angled installs.
Plumb Site® Dual-View™: Front-view for the vertical vial – Reduces parallax errors and speeds up vertical setups.
Milled base: Better contact with the surface – Steadier position and more precise readings.
Handled frame: Ergo Grip™ handles – Secure hold and easy handling even when working overhead.
Fully flippable frame: Allows floor and ceiling leveling plus checking top and bottom surfaces side by side.
45° vial: Speeds up setting slanted trim, railings, and tilted surfaces.
End protectors: Absorb bumps and protect the frame during work.

Kapro Apollo Spirit Level instructions:

Before use: Make sure the base and target surface are clean of dust and debris. Check that the vials' bubbles move freely.
Horizontal leveling: Place the level on the surface and adjust until the bubble settles between the center lines. Repeat as needed at different spots to confirm the whole length is straight.
Vertical check: Place the level against the object and read the vertical vial from the Plumb Site® window straight on. Fine-tune until the bubble centers.
45° angle check: Align the object with the vial's 45° marks. Handy for trim work and angled installs.
Flipped measurement: Turn the level upside down when measuring ceilings or upper structures – the vials work the same when flipped.
Flip test for accuracy: Mark the bubble position in horizontal measurement, flip the level 180° to the same spot, and confirm the bubble stops at the same center point.
Maintenance: Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid solvents that can fog the acrylic. Store dry and protected from direct UV light.

Warnings:

Don't use the product near live wires without proper precautions.
Fall risk: Avoid reaching on scaffolds and ladders – always use a stable work position and fall protection if needed.
Don't expose vials to strong solvents or extreme heat.
Check functionality after a drop or hard impact before continuing work.
Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions, FAQ:
Does Apollo have a front-readable vertical vial?
Yes. Plumb Site® Dual-View™ provides a direct front view of the vertical vial, making vertical alignments easier.

What's the stated accuracy?
±0.5 mm/m. This covers typical construction and installation leveling needs.

Can you use the tool upside down?
Yes. The design is fully flippable, so floor and ceiling leveling work with the same tool.

What's the difference between the 45° vial and basic vials?
The 45° vial speeds up setting angled structures and trim without a separate angle tool, while the horizontal and vertical vials handle basic leveling.
