No to be honest. The guy I'm learning from doesn't use one.
Am I stuck in the dark ages drawing lines around the room then?
I have mentioned using a laser level but he tells me it's to much messing about with tripods etc.

Either of these will change your working life forever and neither need a tripod. There's magnets to stick to plasters beads etc or a simple nail in the wall will allow the adjustable bracket to give you an anchor.
I cant imagine going to work without one now 🙂

I bought the first laserperhaps in 1989/90.
metric brand, was only a spirit level with a laser spot. It was not self-leveling, I was still, sand and cement floors. I was tired of levels with water hose. every time I levels, was an aide that he was not able ... (you had to be in 2, to make levels with water hose).

Yes of course I still use levels for things like that, but I was just advising Smudget to get the laser level for the obvious benifits of accuracy and speed of setting out.

Thanks for the link. Think I'm going to bite the bullet and go for the green laser at some point. Although it's twice the price I think I'm going to bite the bullet and go for the green dewalt laser at some point soon.

Hahaha yes sorry. Trying to feed a baby at the same time as posting this and that's what happens.😉
I use a Bosch laser level and the extendable pole, few years old but works fine.
When it comes to spirit levels i just get the drop forge sets when needed when on offer at screwdix, all ways check them for level, and allways get the 90cm level seperately.
They allways get covered in addy and after a while are hard to read.
Buy cheap and often in my opinion.
