No one expects a carpenter to drive a car over 40k or send thier kids to private school or any of the other stuff. Youre stopping yourself not the loans.

    I've had the Stabila jamb set for a couple of decades. That set has the 32" and the 78", both with magnets, Great for steel jamb installation and the magnets are positioned to hit the hinges on wooden jambs. Once you use the magnetic levels, you'll never go back. Stabila levels are right at the top for accuracy and quality.
