Autocross Laserliner staf-disappointment

[kaharrison9]

That sounds identical Brinkley.
It works great until the nut works itself loose and the spring that keeps the staf under tension pops out,as mentioned the nut is internal and very difficult to get at so no warning to it happening.
Probably a second nut on the thread would sort it but if Laserliner will not take it on board there is a problem that they could easly rectify then this is going to keep happening

If you get access to the nut could you use some Locktite to hold it there

i was contemplating buying one but have got an alternative. thx

My laser post has the same issue.. spring pops out..

not the best design but i will say that mine was not from trade tiler so it is a pole fault and not a TT fault..

 

[kaharrison9]

Certainly not a TT fault and have to say the Laserline Autocross itself is a superb laser.
Its a shame that Laserline aren't greatful for constructive comments they are prepared to at least look into and rectify if need, rather than just brush under the carpet.
Over christmas will get the chance to look at the part and will certainly make it impossible to work loose but i have had to go through replacing a laser and nearly possibly another before i realised this problem.
Wouldn't want any other guys to have to learn the hard way

I got me one of these:-

Laser Levels Online - The Laser Level Specialists - KS-3

seems pretty good for the money Ive gotta say.

Many thanks Rob.
Wondering if i can trust the staf to hold up my runner beans at my alotment in spring

just a thought but how about a trypod with three legs!! like a camera one!!

I don't know much about the tripod type gooner.
Do they allow you to say cast a line at about 10inch from the bottom and then quickly move the laser and cast say a line say 8 inch below the ceiling.
The staf system seems a very flexible and efficient way
