Best Value Laser level - TilersForums.com

[Smudger]

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere. Looked but couldn't see it. I'm in the market for a decent; quality & price (oxymoron?) laser level. Mostly need it to help floor levelling (may use it for more once I have it). Never used one so not sure what things to look out for.

does a few for about the ton mark!-the stabila one is good value for money

Stabilas can be recallobrated so providing you don't loose it (or it gets knicked) then you'll have it for life. Seen a few from the 70's still onsite only a few years ago and other than scratches from being cleaned a lot they were fine. I bet the lads on here even have some older than that.

You need a pendulum Laser.. and you can gauge depths with a straight edge and make markings on it to determine floor heights with the level laser beam.

I have a laser reciever with gauge pole but not needed for most jobs..

I use the Dewalt one but as above Trade tiler does about 3 types i think..

I've got the bosch gll 250, very similar to Daves dewalt, think it was about £170 with vat. I wonder how I got by without it

Cheers guys, I'll have a look. Apart from needing a pendulum laser, and recalibration capability any other points to look for (what's in a good one & not in bad?)

Bought the DeWalt today, I know its sad, but I'm quite excited about getting it tomorrow!!

I have the Dewalt and love it! well not literally, as that would be wrong :lol:

It arrived today. Well pleased with it, I tried it out in the bathroom I'm tiling and it did show that my trusted old level and straight edge technique is spot on!
