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

Buy stabila, and only stabila

Your bubble is just worn out. Need to buy a new bubble.

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

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.

Dave!

Completely useless for knocking out a ghost.

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
