can anybody shine some laser or light on something for me?

I went for the Stanley Fatmax CLLI and I really can't fault it. Comes with a carry case to keep it all neat and tidy in the van.

Do any of you who have a floor laser level find it much help with setting out?

Bosch laser square is great for setting out but I always transfer the lines to the floor then use a chalk line.

Thanks Neale. I did look at that but I also looked at the Bosch Professional Tile Laser Complete, I thought it might be handier if someone chose a diamond setup.

hmmmm....will need to ponder this further.

I had a bosch gtl3 floor square found it excellent and even better when I was doing swimming pools but some not nice person (watching my language before I get a red card ) stole it while I was tucking into a nice ham sandwich

Thanks Mike. I'll give it some serious thought.

Always used the traditional level sets. but just before xmas I was subcontracting to a building firm.. the foreman was running in lines for the downlights to be put in through the ceiling with his laser level and pole..

all singing dancing things.. self leveling off a pole which when I stuck my 6ft level on it was reading 3-4" out.. :yikes:

SO .. after using it and playing around with how far we could reach with it, i thought id like one.
Ino alot of you use them, and some stayed with just levels & some use both.

what can you recommend in the price range of £90-200 inc pole..

+ I shall be putting your recommendations to TradeTiler

Whenever ceiling fitters etc have demonstrated there cheap self levelling lasers to me; and I have checked them, it is the laser that is out - by several mm over a ~6m wall.
Just checking in a eg screwfix catalogue non of them have a declared accuracy that I think is suitable for tiling, well not until u spend several £100 for a rotating one.

Several of the lads on here have and use ones which aren't to expensive.

And they are mostly accurate within 0.5mm

Looks like a very good piece of kit

it locks the swingy thing inside when not being used to stop it getting damaged

It locks the self leveling pendulum.. Clever idea
