:thumbsup:Look at the Sola levels.
I would recommend the Irwins also. I have 12", 24", 4', and an 8'. All great levels.The bostitch levels aren't half bad.
I like these irwin 2000 levels better than my stabilla levels.

Empires might work for a nice straight edge.......might.:no::no:I've been looking at Empires with the blue vials. We have one in tool trailer for tile work, and even though the vial is covered in mortar residue, it seems easier to read to me than a green or yellow one.
