Level Bahco 466-400-M 0.4 m Orange Accuracy 0.5 mm/m

The BAHCO 466-400-M spirit level is a compact 0.4 m tool designed for accurate horizontal and vertical alignment tasks. Finished in orange for high visibility on work sites, this level provides a levelling accuracy of ±0.5 mm/m and is engineered for everyday use in construction, carpentry and installation work where a short, precise measuring reference is required.

Advantages

This 0.4 m level combines a small footprint with measurement precision, enabling work in confined spaces while maintaining reliable accuracy. The bright orange finish improves visibility among tools and materials. The vial is calibrated to provide ±0.5 mm/m accuracy, and the compact size makes the tool easy to store, transport and position on short spans or narrow edges.

Suitable for

• Checking and aligning shelves, window frames and cabinets
• Interior finishing, trim and joinery tasks
• Plumbing small installations and fixtures
• On-site quick checks during construction and renovations

Key specifications

• Length: 0.4 m
• Levelling accuracy: ±0.5 mm/m
• Color/finish: orange for high visibility
• Measurement axes: horizontal and vertical vials
• Form factor: compact, short-level design suitable for tight spaces

How to use

Place the level on the surface to be checked, ensuring full contact along the base. For horizontal checks, observe the central bubble in the horizontal vial and adjust the workpiece until the bubble centres between the marks. For vertical alignment, position the level against the upright surface and use the vertical vial in the same way. Re-check after adjustments and use the short length to access narrow or confined positions where longer levels cannot fit.

Recommendations

Store the level in a dry place and avoid heavy impacts to maintain vial calibration. Clean contact surfaces before measurement to prevent false readings. For long-span work, combine this 0.4 m level with a longer straightedge or a laser level to ensure continuity of alignment over greater distances.
