Types of levels
At the modern construction tools, the following types of levels are presented:
- Bubble.
- Pipe.
- Hydraulic.
- Laser.
Important! In each category there are construction levels of professional and models for use by the usual consumer for private needs.
Bubble construction level
When laying any building materials, the level of this species is used most often due to the excellent combination of cost and ease of use. It is noteworthy that such a tool is used both professional builders and those who have no big skills. 
Construction of bubble level
The principle of its device is as follows:
- Several flasks are connected in a single case.

- The length of this level has a different size, depending on the manufacturer and the intended purpose.
Important! The range of this magnitude is 20 cm - 2.5 and in some models - 4 meters. The larger than the project, the longer the tool will be required.
- The inside of each individual section is filled with liquid, usually alcohol.
Important! Depending on the number of flasks vary and the possibilities of the construction level, the price of which will also differ depending on its functionality:
- availability of 1 flasks will make accurate horizontal;
- 2 sections will ensure the clarity of the parameters and horizontally, and vertically;
- 3 flasks will provide the ability to define an additional turning level.
- Separately, we note another type of bubble tool - magnetic. The presence of such inserts allows you to conveniently fix it to vertical surfaces.
Important! An excellent solution to buy a building level with magnets, when working mainly with metal structures.
Advantages and disadvantages of bubble level
To the advantages of buying this particular tool, we will take the following indicators:
- high strength of the product;
- the ability to choose the most suitable device for a specific building process;
- ease of use;
- suitable for builders of any qualification.
Important! Among the shortcomings of the application, we note the fact that when performing a large-scale project, it is desirable to use several bubble levels of different lengths.

Pipe level
This device is one of the varieties of the bubble tool, but stands out in a separate category due to the features of the destination. 
We present some distinctive features of such a device so that you can more clearly imagine how rational will be its acquisition:
- The design is similar to a conventional bubble building level, but has a V-shaped recess.
- Such devices have a greater length, but a smaller diameter, which is why it is formed for the convenience of storage on the principle of connecting sections.
- Their weight is much less than ordinary models of bubble type.
- Standard equipment has magnets, perforated ribbon and cord for fastening on the desired part.
Important! Pipe levels are characterized by a narrow special purpose of use - laying of pipes or profiles.
Hydraulic
The level of building water is designed to determine the surface errors of an exceptionally horizontal location. It is based on its functioning in the natural nature of the fluid to take such a position at which the upper line is clearly horizontal. 
Equipment of water tool
The level of this type consists of the following details:
- 5-25 meters long hose.
- Flabs on the edges with division scale.
- Holes in each flask with covers through which they are filled.
Important! The weight of the device without a liquid is about 0.3 kg, after filling the flask, this indicator increases to 1.1 kg.
Advantages and disadvantages of hydroevum
We note among the advantages of such a tool the following factors:
- Cheapness.
- Ability to use without special skills.
The flaws of such a device are determined by the following conditions:
- Limited opportunities.
- The need to neatly fill the containers to eliminate the appearance of air bubbles, otherwise the testimony will be incorrect.
- You can not store a tool near the heating devices.
- It is impossible to use in rooms of a small area due to the large length of the device.

Laser levels
Tools of this type appeared on the market relatively recently and are improved measuring instruments. All laser levels are grouping in several categories according to the relevant criteria. The most important of them is the principle of configuration and management, which is distinguished by:
- manual control devices;
- automatic systems - pendulum, electronic, mixed.
Important! Review the video overview of several existing varieties of laser levels, to quickly understand which device suits you.
The fastening of them is carried out in any convenient way:
- on the belt;
- to tripod;
- on a magnet.
Important! Principle of operation - visualization of a given line using laser rays.
Advantages
Further distinguishes the construction level Laser from all other species a fairly wide range of important advantages:
- The most accurate indicators.
- The ability to use in open areas and in rooms of different areas.
- Compact sizes.
