Alright lads I've got my eye on a 2m refina level for boarding does any one have any feedback in them or know of any better? Not bothered about price get wot ya pay for.

Think most of their gear is made in Germany, so will be quality, I use Refina a lot, and have had great service from them, i dont shop around for prices tho..

 

[Kirky99]

Ye I know can't go wrong with German gear mate had my mixer for years never had a problem with it. Thinking of gettin a super flex trowel aswell have u used one?

we have used a refina level for years on boarding, they are to narrow for screeding floors our was made in israel.

What size level have you got pal? I had a cheap on but you couldn't trust the vial after couple of jobs.

Have a look at the Stanley Fatmax levels they're really well made and a fair price. I only use a 1.2m level when boarding personally but I know they do them in 1.8m

 

[beddy]

Ive got the fatmax and after a year of beating the life out of it its no longer level

Got to be stabila for me. Knocked shoit out of mine for years and they're still bang on level.

Wurth the screw and fixings people do a great 2m level solid build and I'm sure I only gave £30 for it wait till you see the rep on sites

I know I know but the level was only £30 and a decent straight edge would have cost that.

I know what your saying mate and I agree in principal...but I've had a 6ft level that I've used to board houses for 10yrs that's still working and going strong...maybe I've jus been lucky or disillusioned lol

 

[Jace]

[Jace]

so instead of buying a straight edge and a level you bought a level and an expensive level to double check your level that you beat the **** out of:rolleyes)

Put your level on a wall. Check bubble. Then turn it round so the other edge is on the wall. The bubble should read the same. If not its ******
