What's the problem?


Long term inability (decades) to set an accurate level using a spirit
level. Unlikely that learning is going to change it at this stage of my
life.

So I'm looking at alternatives.

Not pressing for today because the wall I'm working with is already marked
up (fortunately) but it did remind me of failures in the past and tasks in
the future.


In which case something like:

https://www.screwfix.com/p/bosch-gcl...ne-laser/9780p

(see lawson-his for them rather than SF though since they have a much
wider range of kits)

is very nice because it projects a bright clear horizontal line, a
vertical line, and a pair of straight up and straight down dots. It
makes all kinds of setting out jobs really easy.

This type I find far more useful than the type that just project a line
from the end of a conventional level.
