Someone posted up about laser levels the other week , and these are on special offer
Don't own one , just sell them . Think its this week only so do a Click and collect and it will be held for you in branch for 3 weeks, so no need to panic about getting to a branch.
£41.99 RRP, and its cheap for what it is at that price point , at £22 well you only need to be doing 1 room that needs to be square and its worth having for that
Link is a 404.
Ordered, thanks.
Bargain. Thanks!
By coincidence I ordered one from Amazon just to check the relative height of 3 floors before planning a tiling job (through all 3 rooms) it does the same job and was £22 delivered. Seems an ok piece of kit for the occasional DIY user.
Excellent. Ordered, thanks 🙂
Is it possible to pre-program in a set amount of wonkiness?
I find DIY jobs are much more satisfying when my Wife points out that an aspect of it 'looks a bit wonky' minutes after I've spend all weekend doing it.
@stumpy01 Maybe a check on the new patio from the underside will stop the complaints?
I doubt even that would work 😂
Probably a dumb question but to change the height of the horizontal line do you just need to move the device up and down, on a tripod or whatever?
Grum - yes
Don't have this model but something similar from Amazon. At this price they're great. I've used it for loads of bits and bobs, tiling centre line and plumb line, checking stair spindles are vertical, picture rail. The list goes on.
Bezos asks “Does it come with a harness to attach it to a shark?”

You do need the unit at the same height as the line. I mount mine to a step ladder with a clamp. Lots of height adjustment.
I fitted some LED battens at the weekend, getting them all square was a bit of a mission. Can you point this vertically or up at an angle?
Does vert and horizontal.
Typical. I bought that at full price a couple of months ago.
Well worth it at full RRP, absolute steal at that price!
I was glad I had a camera tripod kicking around after buying one a while back, in fairness my shelves have been much straighter since, although I put some up at the weekend and just used a tape measure, I should probably retrospectively check how will I did. Nothing has slid from them as yet though.
Cheers @singletrackmind I posted recommendation thread, & had held off buying one of these as it a bit if a joke present for a friend.. I’ve bought 2 now for that price, with a 5 year warranty!
Is it possible to pre-program in a set amount of wonkiness?
Technically yes. The gimbal of the laser can be locked so you can just project a line at whatever wonk one wants.
It locks the self-levelling optic.
You only have a set amount of self-levelling available anyway, in that you have to place it somewhere near to level or else the gimbal can't correct enough.
It'll flash if you're too far out.
I totally don't need one of these.
So I've just bought one. Thanks. Bastard.
Cheers, got shelves to put up, just my wonky drilling to blame now!
I don't think my question above was clear. I want to be able to point the lines at say 45% degrees off vertical so I can put laser lines on the ceiling and the wall. I'd use the wall to make sure it's properly vertical and then I know the line on the ceiling is perfectly straight. I have a parkside one that I used at the weekend, it was fine but a lot of faffing. This would help get things straight more easily. Also the parkside one is tricky to see when it's not that dark.
At £22 its cheap enough to take a punt on, i'll give it a whirl and see
Can I use this to check that my front wheel and stem are perfectly in line? At €26 I’m going to buy and try. Thanks 😊
Don't actually have a use for this at the mo, so bought one obvs!
There have been loads of times in the past though when it would have been handy, so great addition to the tool box. Thanks!
So, can anyone recommend a reasonably priced mount for it?

So to answer my own question, yes
Picked one up in screwfix earlier, just holding the back of it against the stem face plate and ensured the vertical line was running down the middle of they front tyre (I was a little bit out).
Now can anyone suggest how I can measure my arms to ensure they're both exactly the same length and that my shoulders are 100% parallel after all the knocks that 54 years of living and in particular 15+ years of mountain biking have dished out 🙂
So, can anyone recommend a reasonably priced mount for it?
Standard camera mount screw on the bottom of the unit so any cheap camera tripod will do the job.
Cheers, Feed, I've got a clamp mount coming today.
Turned up today. Belting for the money
