The bubble in a spirit level

Post by Mito Man »

You know when the bubble splits into 2 bubbles, you spend 30 seconds moving the level gently side to side but it’s still 2 bubbles, then you move it a bit faster and then there’s 4 bubbles. Then eventually there’s a big bubble and a little bubble aaargh bastard
How about not having a sig at all?

The Wickes one was £25 and the Stabila was £80. I guess I know why now :lol:

We bought 2 for about £600 which would do 0.1mm over 10 metres 😎, they were lovely to use.

Lasers etc are all well and good but bubbles, water levels and measuring tapes don't lie.

If you buy cheap spirit levels check they’re still good by spinning 180deg and it should still read the same. I still check mine regularly even though they’re not cheap ones. If not the same in the bin it goes

You can’t knock them out but you can straighten them up
