Laser Levels - to buy or not to buy

[chrishever@ntl]

Hi. defo worth getting one. Get on that levels itself so you dont have to mess about leveling it up yourself everytime you get it out. Just switch on and your off. I have a good stanley one cost me about £100. Think screwfix do them now for about £60 or £70.

i bought one off ebay £20 delivered self levelling with horizontal and vertical lines, does the job, gets my work bang on everytime, maybe worth while buying a cheap one first to see how you get on.

Anyone else got one of these lasers and if so what are they like? I looked at one in a tool shop today for £70, with my discount it would be about £55, I don't like gimmicky tools so any feedback would be welcome before I spend the dosh.

Got the PLS 180, my favourite bit of kit. I did a ot of research before buying and the PLS came up on top. Pasific Laser Systems only make lasers - think there from the U.S and have a brilliant track record. Like someone else has mentioned, a lot of tradesmen use them. I would avoid the really ceap one. Wth a laser you ae paying for the accuracy, so make sure the one you go for stacks up well.
