Any one used one of these units? How good are they ? We have a one off job to fit three runs of wall cabinets .f4.2m ], 5,2m and 10m runs. Not our normal line of work so don't want to splash big money for a rarely used tool.

Hire one? Presumably a morning's hire would do once the lines are
marked?

Bought one for a one off job (but more in prospect) because I have proved
to myself that I have problems marking up an accurate level.

Worked fine for me, although the tripod wasn't that good and even with my
collection of tripods I had to use steps to raise the head to get anywhere
near 6' off the ground.

Impressive when it wobbles and self levels.

Hardest part is not looking at the laser source.

Getting a long line along a wall requires you to have enough space to back
away from the wall.

Cheers

Lidl have a self levelling laser level in todays ( Thursday 23rd)offers,
no idea how good it is but at 19.99 may be worth considering.

Lidl have a self levelling laser level in today‘s ( Thursday
23rd)offers, no idea how good it is but at 19.99 may be worth
considering.

I've got one and mentioned it in another thread.

I've not used it in anger yet but a quick play says it sorts the
difficulty of levelling a basic laser pointer on a stand using the inbuilt
spirit levels etc they have.

There was mention of better units which produce dots of some sort, but
failed to get an explanation of what they do and why they're needed.

At the price it seems remarkable value for money and ideal for the uses
I'll have (or had) for such a device. Like tiling and so on.

The up/down dots are useful e.g. if you want to drop a vertical as a
virtual plum-bob from a joist to the floor, the left/right dots let you
transfer a level from wall-to-wall around a room e.g. for tiling or
fitting a dado rail.

Ah - gotcha. Not sure that's worth 10 times the Lidl one to me, though.

When all people like you can do is post a link when it's obvious it
doesn't explain it fully to me, I'd guess they don't know much about it
either.

As I recall, you claimed the link did not work, then asking for
someone to go to the trouble of writing it all down for you,
rather than bother to find out for yourself from the reposted (&
identical) link you said didn't work. You then left that thread &
lo & behold.....

I see someone has done that for you now.

You must be feeling all uber-pompous again now.

Re-posted the link to just as it arrived here.

But thanks for confirming you'd rather spend time arguing about that than
explaining how it works. Which rather proves you don't.

Ooh dear dear! you posted:-

" Don't seem to be able to access that site - so perhaps you'd
explain the
difference/advantage?"


Re-posted the link to just as it arrived here.

Yet the link is plain for all to see in the archive, and working,
but you still couldn't be arsed after a 2nd repost, could
you?

But thanks for confirming you'd rather spend time arguing about that than
explaining how it works. Which rather proves you don't.

I know how it works, now you've blagged someone else to write it
all out for you instead of looking at it yourself, you know how
it works, so WTF are you dribbling on about now you pompous blasé
twit?
