The first level was in a way too long cardboard. Since this was not even stuffed with filler, the water level in the carton could obviously flying back and forth. The box was outside also damaged (looked as if the spirit level by accelerating forces that have acted during transport to them, the cardboard pierced). It is at a level at least to a "meter" and these shoddy packaging! Even books are better packaged Amazon! My associated bag that I ordered from another seller, came in a box that would be almost bursting with filling material and there was no need for sure! The water balance itself "wobbled" when placed on an even and level surface for front and rear! Although this does not affect the measurement result, I expect a level in this price range and this quality manufacturers promise that will not happen! Also was in a dragonfly window, a relatively large Metallgrat! Sorry, for "Made in Germany", the Stabila mark and almost 100 euros I expect something else !!! Because I can "Made in China" BUY !!! I must say that I hope and think that this was just an isolated case and it concerned only a so-called "Monday Model" (they actually came on a Monday with me at ;-)). I have the spirit level returned and now waiting for my New!
-> I have now received my new 2.Wasserwaage and both the packaging (many thanks to the Amazon team!) And the water level were themselves properly, so that it is probably still a question of a Monday model when the first model! My Review I dehalb increased retrospectively from 2 stars to 4 stars. 5 star it did not become, due to the consideration of the shortcomings of 1.Lieferung! Jörg
