Stabila LAX 50 Self Levelling Laser

[DHTiling]

Does anybody have one of these lasers...?

I am thinking of getting one for a big job i have coming up for ease of datums etc..

My question is... I notice there is no pendelum lock on it... so have you had any calibration issues etc..?

yeah i have one and there is a pendelum lock on the side of it if were taking about the stabila laser from tradetiler i would recomond it great laser and a gd value for money

the stabila from trade tiler is a great laser high quality beam and very accurate plus not very expensive

I must admit I've been searching on the laser level department and found most guys tend to go for the dewalt

The stabilo sounds a good price though

I have the Stabila self leveling with pendulum lock. Sorry do'nt know the model. Good bit of kit.

I have the LAX 50. It works great. Strong laser beam and stabilises itself quickly. The only issue I have experienced is when the floor has some flex as the laser tends to bounce when you move around to heavy - guess I need to lose some weight :smilewinkgrin:.

Any views on the stanley one...?...

I've just got the DeWalt DW087K - tremendous bit of kit and gives you virtually 360 degree coverage

My Dad recently swapped the Stabila for the Dewalt and says the Dewalt wins hands down A lot more robust as well.

I have been using a LAX 50 in a recent en suite job. It is very easy to use and quick to set up. It comes with spare batteries and an integrated stand/ case. I thought it was very good value for money and the ability to rotate it on the pole through 360 degrees so that levels around the room were equal was amazing.

Cuts down "measuring up" time down to less than half what it what normally take. I quickly established that the coving was out by a couple of cm's at each end of the room and this meant I adjusted my tile setting out accorsingly so I had no tiny cuts.

The extendable pole has a rubber buffer at one end too so the newly plastered and painted ceiling in the room was left scratch free and unmarked.

Dave, the ON/OFF switch is the pendulum lock. I check it every day before use with my STABILA spirit level, and have found no problems at all

I also have the LAX 50 and after using it for the first time i wondered how i got on without it. Great bit of kit and good value for money in my opinion

Dave - we used the 90 degree DeWalt last year in France ( did I mention we were there) and it was great!
After my chalk runs out I'am definitely going to save for the DeWalt.
Unless of course you know of anyone who needs it tested?:smilewinkgrin:

 

[DHTiling]

I think i might get the stanely one.. i prefer the straight pole included as well...

It is just for setting out this large shop area's..into multiple rooms..and of course will be handy for future jobs...

Not something i thought i would need as i have been a good user of alevel but we all have to move with the times and what ever makes our jobs easier hey!!...

Window merchants sell them they are for packing out sealed glass units in the frames a bag consists of 7 colours from 1mm to 7mm 10 of each cost £4 a bag save so much time... with the pole laser you can start at the bottom if the floor is out use the packers

 

[DHTiling]

AHH!! window packers.. i get ya...
