self leveling laser

Dannypipe · Mar 30, 2013

I fancy treating myself to one of those little wall mounted, self leveling lasers.

Has anyone bought one recently, and can suggest a good model to buy or a good price?

I quite like the look of the little Makita one, which is about £150.

I realise it's late, so I prob won't get any answers!!

I have a dewalt one and use it mostly for downlights in kitchens and bathrooms. Brilliant bit of kit. The chalk line is sulking in the van.

3 or 4 years ago i was very quiet so was helping a sparky make of mine just bangging the chases and boxes in mainly and i got the dewalt one that was magnetic was perfect for lining 5 or 6 sockets if not more but once i got back to plumbing and the odd bit of tilling i much prefer a good quiality level so i sold it by the time its set up for one rad i have fitted it with a trusty level

great for tiles and sockets etc.....

if you checkout the tiler forum they have a number of posts and alot recommend the dewalt.

Cheers all. I think I'll go for the Dewalt one that Screwfix sell for £178.

I know I won't use it all that often, but I watched a video on Youtube last night, (after going off on a tangent from here) and I can that I would use one every now and then. Plus they don't take up much room.

Long pipe runs, bathrooms and the like.

The bloke I watched the video by was called 'Razor' (LOL) and he was a plumber. Looked like a useful bit of kit...I don't know.

I just feel the urge to treat myself. I also want the 18V Makita hoover. Only £40, I've allready got their batteries for some of my other tools, so why not!?
