Lazer levels looking to retire the spirit level :)

Is it only me that is not a robot every other post?

What do you mean Steve ?

Every time I click on a post I get a Capcha thing asking if I am a robot!

Might be because you’re a new member.

I had to have my posts approved when I first joined many many days ago.

As Andy said Steve, it’s because you’re a new member, and in an attempt to prevent spam on the forum, I believe your first 10 posts are monitored.
Basically I get to mess with your head for a bit if I want.
As you’re now on post 11, your posts should be instant.

Welcome

My head is more than messed up already and I get very frustrated quickly, I don't need an excuse LOL

I noticed earlier they do the same one with a green beam https://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-d...line-green-beam-laser/9873x?_requestid=429447
So going to see if it's any easier to work with, saying that after another day I wonder how I managed previously Lol

I have a sub £200 Bosch which is pretty good but I’m going to see what the difference is between that and the DeWalt and will report back. Not unpacked the DeWalt yet.

Sometimes it’s worth spending that bit extra IMHO.

Be very interested in your comparison as you will be comparing where I am with where I am considering going.
I am going to compare the Dewalts in the bargain bucket sector as soon as the latest one arrives.

Not quiet in the price range your looking for but just ordered one of these after my mate recommended it after his bosch one went **** up
360° Rotary Laser Level Self-Levelling Cross Line Measuring Tripod Stand & Case | eBay - https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/360-Rotary-Laser-Level-Self-Levelling-Cross-Line-Measuring-Tripod-Stand-Case/401334670695?_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1

I will let you know how it goes but worth a punt for 30quid not expecting much to be honest but anything else hes recommended to me has been good.

I am certainly not a tool snob, but do appreciate quality, from looking at the link the big difference to the other lasers referenced would be that the 360 degree reference is not the same, having a constant 360 degree reference is completely different to being able to turn the laser through a whole turn to make the same checks, especially when getting two walls and a floor parallel and square?
Bear in mind I am no expert and this is not my first trade, but I like to learn and do the best job I can without cutting corners.

Appreciate what you think of it in the real world of using it though, as often cheaper products with some skill and experience will still produce stellar results

As the plasterers say though, if it looks alright then, it's alright, usually after they have plastered all your glass, doors and floor!

ooohhh
half selection

Yeah im a bit sceptical about it myself. Might be alright for smaller jobs says it can be out up to 0.5mm per 1m.

I will give it a go and let you know how it is, im usually the same thinking you get what you pay for but it wouldnt be the first time in my life i would be surprised.

I would never have bought it if it wasn't recommended by my mate i would have likely went with a dewalt one i seen at 150quid, but hey its an expetement it will get tested before i even dream of using it on the job.
