Tilers spirit levels?? - Tile Advice

[llevram]

Hello all

I'm in the market for a 600, 1200 and 1800 set of spirit levels.
I've gone through all the cheap ones trying to save a few quid but that time has come for a proper set and the cheap ones like forged steel from screw fix don't last two minutes.
Any suggestions people have or what they use would be great full.

Cheers

Empire spirit levels.
Guaranteed for life, as long as you don't bend the frame.

Stabila make a entry level set double vilest for about 80 quid for the set of three 600 120 1800

Or stanley fat max are 120 ish for the three in a nice bag

Stanley fat max, I think you can get all three from b&q, cheaper if you got a trade card

I like the smooth stabilas . Easy to keep clean . Oh by the way buy a laser level

Cheers guys. I'm all laser levelled up! The days of entry level sets are over now. Think I'm going to go for stabila 96-2 models or the stanley fatmax box beam levels. Anyone had both or know what's better ? The empire levels look handsome but bloody expensive !

Also consider Sola levels, they come highly recommended by one of our esteemed TA's @antonio

What I would say is buy it in person, not on line.
Check,check, and check for accuracy.
Keep spinning it until you know it's 100%.
If you're gonna invest in a higher standard, take your time and get it right.

So me searching amazon and Ebay an what not for the cheapest deal is not the best idea, buy it in person and check

I would say so, I went thro 6 Stanley Fat Max's in a store last year before I found one that was accurate.
If you don't mind sending them back then that's kool.
