I have bought many a level over the years. I used to buy the cast aluminum Sands. But like many spirit levels they can lose their accuracy if handled roughly or dropped. Nearly twenty years ago I purchased a pair of Master Levels. They are similar to the Stabila levels in construction and price. What makes them unique is the level can be reset with a screwdriver. The plumb vials have a worm gear and the level vial is spring loaded. They appear to be the last spirit levels I’ll ever have to buy. I couldn’t be happier with them.

For setting cabinets you really should look into one of the cross line lasers available. I have a Stanley and am quite pleased with it. They are only good indoors, but you get a laser “chalkline”. With a cheap camera tripod, cabinet setting has never been easier. The laser level will pay for itself rather quickly. I’m sure that you’ll find many other uses for it too.

Here’s a review I did for the Stanley:http://lumberjocks.com/reviews/product/2195

And for general carpentry here is my favorite spirit level. A real time saver, the length can be adjusted from 5’ to 13’ 10”
