The Complete Guide to Spirit Levels
What is a spirit level?
Spirit levels are used to show if an area is perfectly level or not. Even though they are an important hand tool for bricklayers, tradespeople, and surveyors, they are also pretty important around the house. Putting a picture frame up? The spirit level is probably the only thing that can tell you for sure if something is perfectly straight.
The spirit level will make all the difference between doing a great job and a terrible one. It’s the one tool that every builder, mason, bricklayer, etc. needs. You’ll use it all day, every day, and it will always be close by.
Spirit levels are great for home improvement projects, building, hanging pictures, and so much more. Obviously, if you’re only going to use it around the house, you won’t need one with as many features or that’s as long.
In this short guide, we’ll look at the best spirit levels for professionals and give you three suggestions that will help you work quickly and, more importantly, correctly.

How to use a Spirit Level
First, let’s talk about how a spirit level should be used and how it works. The spirit level should always be in the middle of the thing you’re trying to level. If the item is level, the bubble in the vial will be right in the middle of the two lines. If the bubble is too far to the left or right, it means that it is not fully level, and you should change the height at one end.

Stanley 1-43-553 FatMax 600mm I Beam Spirit Level with 3 Vials
The Stanley FatMax line of spirit levels is just as good. The solid-block bottles on the 1-43-553 I Beam Spirit Level give it an accuracy of 0.5 mm/m in eight different ways. Like the 96-2, it has three tubes, one on the side and two on the top. This lets you take a reading in any position.
The unique reinforced box-beam design of the FatMax spirit levels makes them twice as strong as normal Stanley levels. The built-in handle and lightweight body make it easy to use, and the two precision-engineered, dual-machined balancing surfaces make it very accurate. And finally, the three vials are enlarged to make them easier to see from all angles, and the end caps are made to absorb shock so that the level stays safe even if it falls.
Again, there are different lengths of the Stanley FatMax I beam.
