Level

A level is a tool used to determine whether a surface is horizontal (level) or vertical (plumb). It typically consists of a spirit-filled vial with an air bubble that aligns between two marked lines when the surface is perfectly level. Levels are essential in masonry and landscaping to ensure that walls, pavers, and other structures are built straight and even. There are various types of levels, including carpenter’s levels, torpedo levels, and laser levels, each suited to different tasks. Using a level helps prevent structural issues and ensures that finished projects are visually pleasing and structurally sound.
