Hello all
Spirit-levels - experience tells me this is one of the things you by on specification not price. Expensive to do otherwise :-)
"Stabila" brand popular here in Britain - experience is that are tough and accurate.
I have a small "scaffolder's level" already.
For what it's worth I have a very worn non-magnetic one => doesn't collect grinding dust. Which I use freely, don't concern if it drops on the floor, gets knocked around, is around when grinding, etc. Which I "restored" by putting emery paper on a level surface plate and gliding it, bubble level, to restore the "foot". Get a lot of steelwork "good enough", or close to final then bring out a / the "good" level(s).
I have "price selection" purchase(s) - particularly from when significant %-per-annum tool "turnover".
I reckon a sprit-level about 810mm long (32inches). Easy to carry but long enough for most steel jobs with inherently rigid sections.
I have been looking at cast aluminium / aluminum spirit-levels
Cast parallel shape:
Any experiences what to go for for working with steel and metals?
