Choose the right spirit level based on your home improvement needs.
Spirit levels can vary widely in size and shape. Which spirit level you buy should
depend on how often you plan to use it and the length or width of the objects you
will measure.
• If you need a spirit level for general use to measure various object sizes, a
Carpenter’s Level is probably the one for you. These are between 2 and 6 feet
long.
• Try a Torpedo level if you want a portable option that will fit in a toolbox and
measure tight spaces. They can be as small as 6 inches. These levels
generally have a diagonal vial to help you find level at 45 degrees.
• A Mason’s level is excellent for measuring wide, long surfaces like walls.They can
be four feet or longer. However, it will not work for measuring smaller objects, so
it’s not a good choice for an all-purpose level.
