Swanson Tool Co. Introduces Savage(TM) and Lil' Savage(TM) Torpedo Levels



New Torpedo Levels Are Strongest, Most Accurate In Industry

FRANKFORT, Ill. - April 25, 2008 - Swanson Tool Company, a leading manufacturer of layout and leveling tools, announces the launch of a new professional line of precision-machined, solid-billet aluminum torpedo levels, the 9" Savage(TM) and 6" Lil' Savage(TM). The levels are equipped with the most innovative and time-saving features of any level on the market today, all in one pocket-sized, lightweight tool - perfect for contractors and electrical and plumbing professionals.

The Savage(TM) and Lil' Savage(TM) levels are made of precision-machined, solid-billet aluminum alloy, anodized for maximum durability. The four-vial design incorporates Swanson's exclusive Brightview(TM) milled vial ports that capture and reflect light for increased readability and accurate measurement of 0o, 30o, 45o and 90o angles. Top-read viewing windows offer an easy, straightforward view of the 0o and 30o vials.

Laser-engraved SAE and metric rules are prominent features of both levels. Rare-earth, neodymium magnets - considered to be amongst the strongest in the world - have also been integrated into the levels' design to provide maximum holding strength while out on the job.

"Our continued evolution in the layout tool category now includes levels and is based upon the same ideals that have been with us since 1925, providing customers with quality tool solutions that exceed their expectations. Swanson's new Savage(TM) and Lil' Savage(TM) levels continue our tradition of providing high quality, hard working tools," said Dennis Hale, vice president of sales and marketing at Swanson Tool Company. "As the definitive measure of quality and craftsmanship for more than 80 years, Swanson is excited to offer loyal customers, contractors and do-it-yourself enthusiasts the most accurate, versatile leveling solution available at a reasonable price."

The Savage(TM) and Lil' Savage(TM) levels retail at under $30.00 and offer an exclusive, extra-wide V-grooved edge that accepts a 10"-diameter pipe.

The Lil' Savage(TM) includes Swanson's exclusive TRI-LOC(TM) "Anti-Dog" attachment. This unique attachment offers three points of contact that lock the level onto the pipe, eliminating any level movement and correctly facilitating offset bends in piping.

The new precision-machined torpedo levels are now available through authorized Swanson distributors. For more information, call (815) 469-9453 or visit www.swansontoolco.com.
