Abstract
A vial retaining assembly for a level or like object employs a retainer member for securing the vial in a mounting receptacle of the level. The retainer member comprises a first set of generally radially extending ears which frictionally engage the wall which defines the receptacle. A second set of radially extending ears forcefully engages the end of the vial to secure the vial in fixed relationship within the receptacle.
