You can improve the visibility of a red laser quite considerably by wearing matching red glasses. I once borrowed an old laser level which came with a pair. I now use a Bosch level (not the 360) which requires 4 AAs but lasts a couple of days. My favourite feature is the 'plomb spots'.

The main reason I bought the Bosch GCL 250C a couple years ago is that it uses the 12v rechargeable power tool batteries and although the line itself is a bit too thick for my liking it goes for a long time and now that I have the 12v flexiclick drill I've got 4 batteries to play with. Works with the LR7 receiver too.

An hour is perfectly reasonable, If linings are all you do for a few weeks you'll get a bit quicker per lining , but the time spent actually fixing the lining will probably be the same, the time saved will come from being more organised with your tools and environment.

I recently stumped up for a mid level bosch universal 360 green laser that has 360 horizontal and 120 vertical. I did try a cheaper kaiweets one but it was a little dodgy and had to be sent back. The only thing I don't like about the bosch is there's no physical lock for tilting it, only a software lock that means it won't flash. If you want to get a 3 degree line you need to tilt it past the point its mechanism operates.

@kubeldzis 3 жыл бұрын

Laser line brightness is determined by the material the light reflects off. Sometime red might appear as bright as green because of the material - for example wood. Wood has a lot of red colour, it reflects red light best, and absorbs any other colours. That is why red line might appear as bright as the green line. So please do not confuse the audience - green in most situations will be brighter. That’s physics.

@SkillBuilder 3 жыл бұрын

Yes a very good point, well made but we looked at it on a the blockwork as well. If we don't use building materials to read the laser lines on then we are not really testing it in a building environment. Please tell us what most situations are.

@kubeldzis 3 жыл бұрын

@@SkillBuilder good point there. In addition, blocks of concrete, cement, or similar material in a wall or other structure will help see green light better than red, because its colour is grey - middle of all colors. And because we see green better than red. Green will win in most situations. However in some cases red will be as bright as green.

If you buy a line laser level, 3 accessories items that are critical to buy as well is 1) telescoping pole to give your laser level something to move up/down on when you're trying to line your horizontal beam on a height point 2) laser receiver (these help you find your line outside and also help you line up on targets b/c you can set the receiver at a target point and when you hear it beep that means your laser is on the target point 3) high precision manual rotation stage (this is a device thats normally used in the optics industry but you can hook a laser level up to them and it gives you very fine tune spin control to help you line up on targets that are over 10 ft away. I bought one for $50 and I can line up on a target up to 40 ft away very easily using the fine spin mode on the rotation stage.

Not that anyone was going to fess up to how it broke. Personally would stick to Leica again but would have been open to shifting if was in head to head.

I’ve had the makita turret with pole for maybe 12 years now and it’s been excellent and used it a hell of a lot. Outside it’s useless like ost of them. I noticed batteries die if left in so I always remove mine regardless and I’m a tradesman.
