Automatic Gyroscopic Laser Level

Do they all automatically stay level? Thought a tripod was used that has a bubble in it, I didn't realise they did them like this. And for the money too!

Self leveling laser levels save a lot of setup time been using one for years

Never used one

You have to sit them somewhere near to level and they do the rest for you.

Yup...set them up somewhere close to level and they sort themselves out. Very useful bit of kit, especially for getting your downlights in a row, never mind your sockets, and essential for cable drops too.
Also, laser measures are very useful in a number of ways. I love a laser!

 

[SparkySy]

Yes excellent bits of kit, I have a couple of them and for setting out they save a lot of faf!
Amazing how cheap and accurate some of them are!!

They are one of the "cool to have" things I would like to get, but I hardly ever need one and my own flat, my sisters & parents semi-detached homes, are all of Victorian age and practically nothing is horizontal/vertical!

I've used one for a few years now. Wouldn't be without it.
Different one though.
Dewalt laser line

Same as mine. Suitable detector gives it a range of 30m or so (haven't needed further) outdoors, even in bright sunlight.
Had a £18 Lidl one for a year or two before, that I couldn't fault, but needed to upgrade for the 150m of underground drains I've dug in over the last couple of years

Not sure the one I linked to in the original post came with a tripod but for the money seems alright.

 

[timhoward]

Actually I have the one in the original post. It's very good for the money and impressively bright.
It comes with a magnetic mount.
Funnily enough before you started this thread I'd just ordered the threaded rod and nuts from Toolstation to build one of these because I'm too tight to pay for the adjustable pole.

Huepar is good kit, one of mine is a Hue!

It's been excellent and will Project a fair way and will do all around which is very useful for kitchens.
Mine didn't come with a tripod but I have an old one that came from another laser that was the same mount.

I actually made some magnetic L brackets that the laser attached to as it would on a tripod.
It was nearly free, a cut in half floodlight bracket with some neodymium magnets metal glued onto it!
Comes in handy for commercial steel framed buildings!!

It's Green energy and green laser for me

 

[ferg]

Oddly enough the joiner where I was working this morning has one from the same brand, different model, that @Dan linked to and he's very pleased with it.
Can't fault it and apparently it does stuff that much more expensive ones can't.

 

[Admin]

I might get one then I was looking out for some negative feedback on it but it doesn't seem to have issues. For the price it'll be handy for what tiny bits of tiling I do if nowt else.

I've had one like this for about 5 years, it's been brilliant.

Pardon our interruption...

I have the Bosch Professional GCL2-55 and used it for a 3 wall backsplash with pencil tile in a kitchen and several sets of shelving that went around a corner or two... This is not the best model, but it worked great. Worth every penny. Still double checked it with various levels... it was pretty much on the level.

If it was pretty level, especially over a short distance, then I wouldn't agree that's its worth every penny.

Yeah but all your sockets are wonky
