Instrument used to determine whether surfaces are horizontal, or vertical (6,5)

I believe the answer is:

spirit level

(Other definitions for spirit level that I've seen before include "Tool for checking horizontality" , "Horizontality checker with a bubble" , "Device" , "Means of checking horizontality" , "Carpenter's tool" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
