Spirit level
A spirit level uses vials to check horizontal and vertical surfaces. It is used for household, DIY, professional, pipe and scaffolding work.
- For pipe and scaffolding work, choose a level with a V-shaped metal groove.
- Use a level with anti-slip wall pads to hold it against a wall with one hand without slipping.
