Laser Levels

Hilti PM4, PLS180 and PLS90

View attachment 81682
I'm on my 2nd PLS180. First one (£200) fell off the wall. Smashed the lens cover.

The glass is broken on my PLS too, that's why I bought the Hilti. But the PLS still works fine. I opened it up and removed the bits of broken glass because it got in the way of the pendulum. I think the PLS is easier to see. But the sales guy told me the hilti can be recalibrated. The PLS is changeover if it goes out of calibration.

Have you used the 089k?
I've looked at this model but was going to upgrade my 087 to the 089k but I'm not sure what to go for.
I worked up at the SuperDry store with Pete & Alan had a good wee pls laser but thinking of going green with whatever one I buy.

Harry @hmtiling has 089k Stef, I've never used it.
All I know is the 089D1G is worth that extra investment for sure.
Those pics in post 3 in the main entrance hall and there are 4 enourmous floor to ceiling Windows approx a metre wide, and it doesn't make a blind bit of difference, u can still see the line easily.

Looks good, £170 of a difference isn't that much. Pay for itself in no time.

The way I looked at the cost was good quality floor laser, PLS FT 90 £199
good quality cross line laser £180, extra £70 = Dewalt 089D1 easy

 

[hmtiling]

I wish I'd payed the extra. The 089k is very good apart when in loads of natural light.

That's good to know, it was the 089k I was going for to save me carrying 2 lasers, 087 & Bosch floor lasers.
Need something you can see easily when it's bright.

After reading this thread, I'm looking at buying the Dewalt 089d1 as it looks great! A new screwfix has opened near me, and they have 10% off everything! £423 after the discount, which seems quite a good price. I blame you @3_fall

 

[J Sid]

have you tried it in a bright conservatory marc?
I would want some feedback for those conditions before buying

Oh would you now Julian? Haha
U realise I'm not a Dewalt rep, right? Hehe
Well funnily enough, if I ever get there, my next job is a Porcelthin job in a conservatory!
So I'll let you know! Haha

EDIT..... ORANGERY!

Haha nothing to do with me Magga, I haven't even reviewed it on here!
But £423 would be a great price, mines from FFX cheapest I could find at the time at £454.

Well I've got it now, and I must say it's quite impressive!

How do you normally mount yours? I've got a pole that I used with my old one. Ideally I want something with height adjustment to mount it on!

There are so many ways to answer that question,
and they'd all be wrong!
Up to now I've been able to use the strong magnets on to beading,
The bracket that comes with it screwed to timbers and a tripod. I will try at some point to fit it to my Stanley adjustable pole, just haven't had need or time.
