Slightly OT - are these things dangerous. I have heard stories that these
laser levels can burn out your eyeballs. True or myth? Thanks, J. "in2minds" wrote in message ... is it worth buying a cheap one (where from ?) or are they cheap enough to hire for 3 or 4 separate jobs spanning 12+ months ? thanks Les |

Staring into the beam for more than a few seconds will cause permanent damage, same as staring at the sun, or at a halogen bulb at close range. Poking your eyball with a pencil will also cause permanent damage. All those activities fall into the "best avoided" category. -- Grunff |

The test is very simple. Level the device, point the laser at a spot on the wall. Mark the spot. Reverse the laser head and reverse the level, re-level the level. The spot should be in exactly the same place. If it isn't you don't have a level. Same as any level then as you check those by reversing also.

I bought one from Aldi last month for 19.95ukp don't know if you'd
still be able to find one at one of their stores.... Aldi/Lidl are really good for cheap, occasional-use DIY tools.
