How to quickly and easily check a bubble level for accuracy before buying from a store.

When carrying out construction and repair work, it is quite difficult to do without a building level. Needless to say, you can't even hang the shelf evenly without it.

Therefore, the building level is a very necessary and demanded measuring tool, which sooner or later every home craftsman has to buy.

But unfortunately, new does not mean accurate.

Nowadays, not every selling level shows correctly.

At the same time, even the tools of well-known manufacturers can lie at a fairly high price.

Therefore, the only sure way to ensure that the bubble level is accurate is check it yourself before purchasing.

How to do it? Consider below.

Not all hardware stores have a special panel for checking the building level.

Therefore, I share information on a quick bubble level check, which will definitely come in handy.

Important! It is necessary to periodically check not only the new level, but also the used one, since during operation, for example, after a fall, it can go astray.

A quick check is done as follows:

The level must be placed on a flat horizontal surface and remember the location of the bubble in a horizontal ampoule.

Then you need turn the level 180 degrees and put in the same place.

As a result: if we see that the bubble has changed its location, then taking this level is not worth it.

It is better to check a couple of three other levels and find an instrument with deflection of the bubble in the flask will be minimal.

This is how the horizontal level is checked, but there is also a vertical.

The principle of checking the level vertically is as follows:

You need to attach the tool to a flat vertical surface, and remember the location of the bubble.

Then flip it 180 degrees on the vertical axis and compare the position of the bubble before and after. If the bubble remains in the same place. You can safely buy the level!
