Laser marking systems
 

I'm in the market for an occasional-use right-angle laser. On one
hand, there's the PLS5
that sells for about 400.00, on the other, there's a Stanley for about
20.00. I'm sure the
PLS has a lot of features I don't need, all I want is the right angle
capability. The
description of the Stanley at the Home Depot site says it's accurate to
within 1/2" at
30'. Has anyone here had any experience with a less expensive one and
are they
junk is my question.

I can't help on the actual experience part, but I've seen the Stanley
and figure any product that brags on 1/2" in 30' isn't worth wasting
$20 on. I think it depends on what one has in mind as a project for
which it would be used as to whether it would be at all suitable or
not. To hang a picture, maybe, but then again, is that worth $20???
What do you have in mind to use it for would undoubtedly help...
