Dodgy level

[Builderboi]

As mentioned mine are horribly out of whack (putting in door frames) by a good ten mm, nightmare now in going to invest in a decent set in looking at the stabila r type but I've seen hultafors mst 1800 is meant to be great but it's 180£ now I don't mind spending it but it's there any difference any one got any experience with digital levels in doing more and more higher end work hence they need to be bob on..... Also at least this ain't a trowel or machine post, any advice (setious) appreciated bummers xxxxxx

Took the bubble out of my level years ago, my works been bang on since then [emoji106]

Go with the stabila r range they do look good but hultafors not bad either tbh

They got ones that go "beep" when level or just get an enthusiastic labourer.

I managed to kill my 6ft fatmax which really pissed me off. To try and save a few quid I bought one of them new Draper Expert Opti Vision levels. 6ft for £50! Built like the Stabila R. Good so far but surely it won't last years for that price.

Never used a level in my life no need for one in this line of work

think with levels you get what you pay for

Always been a stabila fan to be honest

If it has to be spot on I use the dewalt laser and keep it straight with any long level .
I find the 6' levels lose the bubble very quick

I've got fatmax levels but the ox ones look robust and come with a guarantee I think

I got fatmax too. Most of the jobs I'm on these days I just do by eye though, use a level and they'd look shite.

Why should plasterers bother to use a level when other trades funkin don't .

Because despite the shite they leave were the ones that have to leave work bang on

because you then lower yourself to their standards

I hate the milled edges all the new levels seem to have and they get full of crap and snots

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Level?

I remember having my first 6 foot stabila around 20 odd years ago and all the lads taking the piss, within a year they all had one too. Also had a 3 metre one from refina which was useful when I used to float out jobs but don't do it now so it became a straight edge when dabbing!

Try three?
