Which one should you buy?

The Bosch Professional 25cm magnetic level is our top pick for first home DIY because it sticks to metal hands free, reads from the front and survives drops. The 60cm Bosch with marking sliders is the value pick, covering shelves, doors and longer runs for $38. The Stanley Classic 800mm box level is the budget pick at $33 and still handles most household jobs.
