spirit levels

if you are going to buy stabila, aim to get the white tip professional range!!

thats all good if your mate does not keep standing on them or use them for knocking in on dot and dab , i tend to go for the stabila cheap range less mooney and i can trust them

slightly off thread... I wonder why nobody makes a 1700mm level, same length as a standard bath??

cut down a standard 6' level. take an equal amount off each end to keep bubble central

levels are one area you cant take chances on a cheap deal

buy a decent level with a lifetime guarantee and a protective case and clean it after every job

i have all sizes up to 2m

its expensive but you only buy them once

a chippy i worked with found a wooden stabila on a job we were on, he emailed stabila and asked if the vials were still available as he wanted to restore it

they told him to send it to them , he did and they set new vials in it

turned out it was a lifetime guarantee and didnt matter he had only just aquired it

Gave my levels a good clean off with some grout remover friday evening, just to make sure their in top shape.
