spirit level

like others, I couldn't manage with just one level.

I think you all underestimate yourselves... A top tiler could easily get by with one level imo

True, a 600mm










(and a straight length of CLS lol)

I was thinking the same bubble, 600!

40 inch stabila girder level which does not have the rubber ends so sets in the corners really well. Best level though quite dear. 600 mm square end stabila plastic level again for its square end. Not expensive but good. 300mm boat level. I think minimum requirement in sizes to carry to cover all diverse angles etc. One level only! get the girder level will last you for years, probably had mine for 9 years and as good level wise as the day i purchased it.

if i could only have one size would be a 10 yrs old plus stabila black cap cheap as chips 600mm level robust which i would sit on various lengths of 3 x 2 box section refina straight edges.
i actually cant find a single level in recent years that does not read out within 6 months.

Fatmax Extreme XL for me Jonny - had it well over a year and it is spot on still (Never used it to knock any nails in yet though)

Got a set of Stabila 196s recently and impressed with them. The Draper Experts were getting a bit unreliable a few years on after plenty of knocks.

Not sure about using just one level. You could get away with a 600 certainly but would need 3 sizes of straight edge to go with it. You couldn't lay a broken bond floor with a 600 level.
