I got a screwfix catalogue last week that offered some levels by Forge
Steel. They have a self levelling one for £37 49 and a Rotary one for
the same price. Yet the bumph says that they are both self levelling.


Both are class II whatever that means, the first has a 10 m range
whilst the rotary has a 30 m range. So what are the likely differences
anyone know?

If you load the instruction manual for the rotary the accuracy which
is quoted in +/- mm per m is 1 which seems an awful lot. At 5m you are
going to be 5 mm out (possibly)


Most fixed levels are accurate to around 1mm in 1000mm so not really
any different.
