How Tough can a carpenters level Be ?!?

What happens here

After the initial level is seemingly destroyed, a second Empire Magnum Level is introduced for further abuse. This level is hit repeatedly with a large hammer or similar blunt object against concrete blocks. The level manages to break several concrete blocks during this process, yet itself remains structurally intact and functional. Following this, the level is attached to a tow rope and dragged behind an ATV at speeds of up to 40 mph on an asphalt road and then a dirt road, simulating extreme abrasion and impact.

Goal: Evaluate the level's resistance to blunt force trauma and high-speed abrasion.

Tools and materials

  • ATV — To drag the level at high speeds
  • Concrete Blocks N/A — As impact surfaces during the blunt force test
  • Hammer — To apply blunt force impacts to the level
  • Tow Rope — To attach the level to the ATV for dragging
