LOL I've been doing suspended ceilings for twenty years or so and the
first lasers we used (big things with a spinning beam) were super
expensive- sometimes costing thousands of pounds. Previously we used to
get by using water levels.

A water level can be infinitely more accurate than a badly zeroed laser.

Although nowadays I use a DeWalt DW087K I got brand new from the States a
year or so ago. The best $130 (equivalent GBP amount) I've ever spent (or
should I say 'invested), it's paid for itself many times over in that
time.
