Lazer levels looking to retire the spirit level :)

[Waluigi]

The red DeWalt you have purchased is accurate to .3mm over a meter, so over a room of 8m you could be out by 2.5mm

Pretty much similar to spirit levels.

I’m basing this on an average Bathroom (the only tiling I do) being about 8 linear metres on the horizontal plane and being about 1 to 3mm out if I draw a level line around the room.

Anyway, great advise on the Dewalt Gents. Looks like I might need to go shopping. Any places that sell it over the counter?

Been using it some more today and like a lot of things it takes time to get used to a new tool.
One of the things that frustrated me at first was the tripod wouldn't go low enough to get the first row of cut tiles set, but I took the level of the tripod and set it with boxes of tiles and am much happier now, yes the beam is a bit wider than I expected, but I have got used to catching the bottom edge of the line, also it makes reading the tape much easier as it illuminates the measurement.

I can see the benefit for the more expensive levels that throw lines fore and aft for setting out a room square, quicker and green lines being easier to see, but I think this will do me afterall, just need a more suitable tripod.

The one I got was from Screwfix as they had it in stock on a Sunday!

the thinnest green I've seen is the bosch gll3 80 green.
3 visibility settings.
this is the difference between the bosch with the second light setting
and one stabila, distant 50cm from the wall

I do like the middle of the three lines, looks very clear.

Is the laser not magnetic? Sticking it on a corner bead is usually a good place

Three internal corners and a doorway

Put a screw in the wall . Hang a panel saw off it and stick the laser level to the saw .
