Easy way to check levels (in winter). Put the level on an area of water that has frozen. I learned years ago that many cheap levels are NOT level and one of my projects is not "on the level".

I also like levels that have a resolution of < 0.01 degree. These are not found at Lowes/HD/Menards, etc. These higher resolution levels have two bubbles - a coarse one and one that has a tiny curve - and that tiny curve gives you accuracy and precision.

Yeah they cost a bit more, but a good level lasts.
