My 1st Laser Level

[sranners]

hi, just a quicky, grumpy grouter, iv read what you have been saying about levels and it is very interesting and i will use it, it sounds as though it will make my work better, also when using a level for level and plumb on tiles you should also turn end to end????????
iv been considering a laser for some time and am still not shour about it, i like the look of the dewalt dw087, cross line laser, but id rather borrow one than spend out £150 (thats the best price iv found) and then make a decision from there.

Hey there Ive not long bought a stabila lax 50 from trade tilers (that should get me a nice discount next time lol) Im still trying to work out the pole as on an artex celing its not really secure but the pole is more than big enough to reach the average ceiling, when in tri pod mode its the mutts nuts mate thats all I can say and all my hand levels are stabilla always use them

i may be old fashioned,but i still use the tried and tested method of a "water level",reaches places where a laser level cant,and it will be more accurate

Although extremely accurate - how do you hold one end while checking the other? My only attempts with the one my father gave me have been painful. Always given up with it. Do you have some kind of fixing device for one end?

I'd still say a laser is the easiest thing to use. Regardless of accuracy - and I think the accuracy of a good quality laser - is MORE than adequate for almost all circumstances.
