I look at the Bosch PLR 15 on Amazon, but there are a number of
low-rated reviews of it.

What do people recommend? I don't need bells and whistles. It just has
to measure width/length of a room. But LASER not ultrasonic! It also
has to be reliable, unlike, apparently, the Bosch one.

If you want one that really works (always), then Leica... be
prepared to
fork out £200 for it though.


you can get a Leica for nearer £100.

Oh dear, now I shall have to get one.

What's the current thinking on laser *levels*? I have an ancient cheap
one, but the mechanics is beginning to go.

But is that Leica any better than my Bosch GLM 50 C? I already have a
level function in that (albeit not the full facilities available in some
levels).


More decisions! How good is the tilt measurement I wonder. My existing
one is not self-levelling, but it has a rotating head so that you get a
360 degree line. I can't help feeling that this is more useful than the
ones which just project a line or cross.
