Because the low bell (B) is struck twice in quick succession, there is not enough time to pull a hammer back, and it is supplied with two wrench hammers on opposite sides of the bell. Its nickname may be derived from Sir Benjamin Hall, who oversaw its installation, or heavyweight boxing champion Benjamin Caunt.
The tower was designed by Augustus Pugin in a Perpendicular Gothic Revival style and was completed in 1859. Swiss tool manufacturers Big Ben® have launched a new eye-catching magnetic level made from aircraft alloy with a smart grooved base.Eventually after a lot of investments, new technology has made it possible to machine this simply beautiful tool out of a single piece of solid material.

When completed, the frame and hands were Prussian blue, but were painted black in the 1930s to disguise the effects of air pollution. We’ve designed a range of extra strong tool tethers to ensure your equipment won’t be dropped, improving the safety of workers and members of the public below.Other costly discoveries included asbestos in the belfry, the "extensive" use of lead paint, broken glass on the clock dials, and serious deterioration to the tower's intricate stone carvings due to air pollution.
During this time, dials, hands, and lights were removed for restoration, with at least one dial – with its hands driven by an electric motor – left intact, functioning, and visible at any given time. April 2013: The bells were silenced as a mark of "profound dignity and deep respect" during the funeral of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

The tune is that of the Cambridge Chimes, first used for the chimes of Great St Mary's church, Cambridge, and supposedly a variation, attributed to William Crotch, based on violin phrases from the air " I know that my Redeemer liveth" in Handel's Messiah. The result is a great looking level, that is easy to read and despite being the lightest on the market is ultra-tough and has 5 times the grip of a standard level. The use of lightweight, yet durable plastic with protective rubbers, allows the mini spirit level with magnet to be stowed flat in the folding rule bag.
