Spirit levels contain bubble vials to indicate level and plumb. Box levels, I‑beam levels and torpedo levels suit different tasks, while digital levels display precise angles. Use them to ensure everything from shelves to fence posts are straight and true.
What types of levels are commonly used in construction and DIY?
The most common are spirit levels (bubble levels), laser levels, and digital levels. Spirit levels are great for general alignment, laser levels are ideal for large-scale or room-to-room projects, and digital levels provide precise angle readouts.
How do I know if my spirit level is still accurate?
Place it on a flat surface and note the bubble’s position. Rotate the level 180° and check again — if the bubble stays in the same place, it’s accurate. If not, it may need recalibration or replacement.
What’s the best way to protect and extend the life of a level?
Avoid dropping it, as this can shift or crack the vials. Keep it clean and free of debris, and store it in a case or toolbox to protect against knocks and scratches.
