It is cardboard and relatively well made. The lid slips entirely over the lower part of the box. The lid is colored red and says Starett a lot. **Q: Does this level come with certs from starret?** A: Depends on what you mean by "certs". There is a card that says "A bubble movement of 1 division (1/10") on main vial indicates an elevation of .005" per foot." The accuracy of this number is not specified - could be .004" or .006", no way to know. However, it is definitely very sensitive - more than is useful for most purposes. There is a screw to adjust the vial so that it is level - turn the assembly around on a flat and "level" surface, and the indication should be the same in both directions, or adjust the screw so that it is the same, and then it will be accurately reading the tilt of the surface. **Q: can i get a replacement bubble cylinder for the primary bubble** A: There are 2 options that we have for replacing the bubble cylinder's. 1 option is replacing the vial w/ solution only but you must know how to install it properly or option 2 would be to purchase the tube and plug vial that is already set properly inside the silver casing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Starrett Machinists' Level with Ground and Graduated Main Vial - Enhanced Accuracy for Perfect Surface Alignment - 6" Length, 1-3/16" Width, Without Case - 98-6 - Starrett Machinists' Level with Ground and Graduated Main Vial - Ideal for Machine Shop and Tool Room Use - 4" (100mm) Length, Without Case and Cross Test Vial - 98-4 - Starrett Pocket Level with Main Vial - Ideal for Machine Shop and Tool Room Use - 2-1/2" (63mm) Length, Satin Nickel-Plated Finish, Hexagon Stock with Convex Ends - 135A --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/48666530-starrett-98-6-6-inch-precision-machinists-level-black](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/48666530-starrett-98-6-6-inch-precision-machinists-level-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
