A good quality Spirit Level is certainly an essential part of any DIY toolkit. If you only plan on buying one spirit level, go for one with a good quality aluminium body and at least 2 vials (vertical and horizontal). A good standard length is 1 - 1.2m long. This size will be ok for most jobs, and for anything requiring a longer span you can rest the level on a straight piece of wood.If your budget can stretch to it, it is also useful to have a small "mini level". These are generally less accurate that the longer levels, but are very handy for quick checks and for use in tight spaces. Mini levels are sometimes available with a magnetic strip for use on metal surfaces.
You should expect to pay between £10 and £30 for a good aluminium 1.2m level. Longer levels could cost as much as £50. Mini Levels can be bought for £5-£10.
