Has any one got one of these laser levels? Do you think its any good for the price or is it better to get a more expensive one that will probably be more accurate?http://www.transtools.co.uk/store/pr...level-kit.html

I've got a Stabila laser and it's the mutts nuts. I guess you get what you pay for.

Good luck and let us know what you opt for.

I used a Stanley CLL that came with a staff. Very easy to use just set up in middle of room set your height and away you go. I find it saves a lot of time and you can also use it for floor work.

In the end i ended up going for a forge steel self leveler from screwfix £39.99 got it home and seems a decent bit of kit for the price.

Laser Line & Cross Accurate to 0.5mm/m
Self-Levelling
Carry Case

Includes 1.2m heavy-duty tripod. 10m Range. Accuracy of vials to 0.5mm/m. Batteries not supplied. Requires 2 x AA (Quote 85426).

So reading that then does that mean for every meter the laser travels, it's got a discrepancy of upto .5mm, so over a 10m length it could be out by upto 5mm

No, it could be as much as 10mm out as tolerances are usually +/- whatever the number is i.e +/-0.5mm/M.

So, on small jobs then they are fine, but a big room then your asking for trouble using one of these.
