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...ng-cross-line-

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.


Erm......possibly more expensive than I was expecting.

£30 is not a big ticket item but £135 takes me into the realm of "If I was
going to spend £135 then is this top of my list".

However good tools are very rarely wasted money.

Thanks
