I have been keeping my eye open for a 'budget' self levelling laser for a while now.

I know I should buy quality and buy once but my budget does not allow. I also know this is not an essential tool but after using John's laser a few month ago I have noticed on a few job that I could have done with one.

Anyway I have found a 'deal' and just wanted a few opinions

hi mark

i know your not gonna like this but you are wasteing money not saving it by buying these kind of laser levels. they are designed for the home user and they lose their calibration easily!! the lasers are normally very poor in daylight and they arnt as accurate.

you really need to be paying a minimum of £100 for a half decent laser level for domestic tiling situations..the stabila is a really good option for that kinda money.
id hang onto you money and save up a bit longer and use your standard bubble level untill you have the sufficient readies to get a stabila, dewalt etc...pay cheap pay twice definately appies to budget lasers mate

I agree good advise Aston,

My chippy mate bought a similar one to your link United and it just wasn't anygood hard to see and terrible accuracy! I ended up getting in touch with my mate from a hire center and he done me a good deal on an ex hire hilti kit which had just been serviced and cost me £130 well worth the money easy to see beam and more accurate than we could get with a stabila level over 40ft run! Try your local hire centers as most do sell on ex hire stuff from time to time just drop in & give em a business card you never know! A cheap claw hammer is one thing but a laser level is a completely different ball game all together mate.
Hope this helps.
