There’s no doubt in my mind that best tool ideas come from guys in the field. Contractor Mike Lueck imagined a different take on the humble level. With the help of machinist Russ Borg they’ve cleverly devised a level system that expands the functionality of the level.
The Mosely Infinity Level is a multi-component expandable system of level sections and accessories that interconnect in a variety of arrangements.
The best way to get a sense of the system is to see it in action or view a video so check this one out: Mosely Infinity Level video.
Mosely Infinity level sections come in 12 in. and 24 in. lengths. The design allows level sections to be interconnected in three ways:
Straight Connect lets you lock level sections end-to-end until you reach the length you need. Need an 8 ft. plate level – lock 4 – 2 ft. sections together.
Side Connect sections together to create ‘L’ or ‘T’ levels for checking plumb and level at the same time. Think how fast you can square, plumb and level a door frame.
Side Face Connect sections side face to side face for carrying a level line through inside and outside corners. Great for leveling corner cabinets or laying out tile.
Holes are positioned through the edge and face of the level body so you can attach it with a screw anywhere you need. One of the smartest features is a head-slapper once you see it – adjustment knobs. The adjustment knobs let you screw the level – say to a wall or across a set of studs – and then by dialing the knob, fine-tune in the level till it’s dead-nuts.
Accessories include a digital level and angle finder section, and 4 inch long body sections to expand the primary level’s length.
My father started his career as a machinist and became a mechanical engineer. Growing up with milling machines, metal lathes, high tolerance grinders, and precision measuring devices gave me an appreciation for skilled metalcraft and tool design. The craftsmanshipand attention to design that Mike and Russ put into the Mosely Infinity level system is outstanding.
When I get a set of Mosely levels my old ones will be relegated to screeding concrete and as straight-edges for tiling.
The Mosely Infinity Level will be available on April 7. Check out their website for more information.

What a great post! I wonder if we would get this great innovation in South Africa anytime soon. Working in the residential and industrial sectors of Garage Door repairs and installation, this would be very handy.
