Answer 3

I'm very partial to Johnson levels - they've been around since the 1940s, solid American company, and my 48" and 24" cast aluminum levels have stayed very true.

I also have a 48" magnesium (super light-weight) Johnson, which is good when you're trying to hold up too many things at once and a heavier wood or cast aluminum level is too heavy. Supposedly the magnesium is more stable, but honestly, that's never been an issue for me as I try to take care of my measuring tools and not just throw them in the truck.

Answer 4

To make an accurate level all you need is a level and a small screwdriver.

All levels are prone to become inaccurate if they are dropped,bumped or something falls on them.

Your best bet is to buy an economical one (cheap) and learn how to adjust it.

You can do that with a known flat surface,loosen the two screws that hold the bubble to the level,adjust the bubble and re-tighten the screws.
