I bought about 20' of clear tubing years ago and it really is
much better than a level in many cases. Buy a large enough
diameter and you can drive a nail in each end so you can
hang it on the wall. A water level will also go around corners.
Another option to a standard level is a SmartLevel. Just found
mine tucked away in another cluttered part of the house. Needs
a 9V battery but provides a LCD readout various additional
features beyond the standard level. I'm going to use mine to
monitor a concrete wall that's being shoved by a large tree.
