Laser levells???

[Tomtiler]

hey guys im looking to purchase wall and floor lasers any one help with the best ones to get for quality and price ?? would be appreciated thnks

I wouldnt bother with any laser level less than £100. i know some would disagree but IMO you get what you pay for.
There are different types of laser levels too and what you really want is a self levelling system. Some of the cheaper models only project a line around teh room and you still need to level the unit 1st.
I have a Dewalt 087 which has the self levelling capability which is easy as putting the unit onto a flat surface or screwing the adaptor to the wall...or if you have some metal handy it even has a magnetic. You then turn on and you have a level line, it also projects a vertical line too or even both at the same time..All in all a good piece of kit.
Others may be along to shout out for their preferred brand later.
Tradetiler Tiling Setting Out and Tile Marking have some nice models too

i can highly recommend the autocross laser liner from Tradetiler, it easily one of the best buys ive made..

 

[hillhead]

I need one myself.i have a small one but on self levelling.i carry top quality tools so crying out for good level.

I think I would prefer a rotary self levelling laser that would shoot a line right around the room - but they are crackers daft money......:yikes:

ive got a dewalt dw087k for walls......

and a DW060k for floors:

a little pricey, but the width of the beams and the brightness is worth every penny...and i did not mention how accurate they are!!!

Best wishes

Dagger!

Cracking value and very impressed.

I sort of bought the Dewalt DW807k today:lol:
I had seen my mates and was very impressed with, not least because of its size and the carry case it comes in which is always important. So I’ve been thinking about getting it for a few months now and as soon as I saw Sir Ramics post I thought sod it, I’ll get it!

So I head over to Toolstation.com to try them out, which I believe has had some investment from Travis and is trying to get in on Screwfix's market. I make the order and give a site address for delivery but when I print out the invoice it shows my registered address as delivery too, so I ring them up to change it and they say oh no your order is not going through because you have to show us some identification before will deliver"... hang on a minute you took my order and payment and from the e-mails I’ve received it says you are delivering tomorrow at what point were you going to tell me this! They say because it's a high value order (£200 is a small business order in my book) I have to jump through hoops to get it. Needless to say I cancelled my order.

But come tomorrow I shall be going down my local supplier and getting it.

Now I see dagger has got it, so i take it's quite popular with you guys?

Dewalt DW087K FANTASTIC AND VERY ACCURATE LEVEL

Agree with Sir Ramic. You get what you pay for. My 1st (cheap) laser level was by far the biggest waste of money I've spent. I've not replaced it yet but shall be digging deep when I do.

I know some may say i am sucking up to tradetiler but he has a knack of supplying quality gear. So i would say that the item mentioned would be well up to the job, David (Tradetiler ) was a tile fixer for many years so he knows what we need.
Having never used those type of lasers i have no 1st hand experience and it may just come down to a case of "are you a dewalt man or a Bosch man " ?

 

[Tomtiler]

cheers for the help ramic i buy things off there all the time and never had anything to complain about so i might purchase it and post up let ppl no how i get on with it but i think ill get the dewalt wall one that looks quality
