But spirit levels can be killed more easily IME. Just takes one twat clanging your level around a scissorlift, or knocking it off some scaff and it's fucked.
Now I'm moving around more on jobs, I've genuinely been getting a bit worried about misplacing tools. Got too many odd and hard to get hold of bits that I couldn't face losing, but that I hate being without when I need them!

For DIY/small jobs, I am very happy with my stanley Cubix. I paid about £30 and I'm not precious about it and it's been going for years. I might invest in something better for doing more involved laying out at some point, but tbh the cubix does 90% of what I need.
Spirit levels are like tape measures, in that they require way more attention to use properly than people realise, and there is a skill to using them accurately.
