Hi guys just been to LIDL with wife they have a laser level on tripod for 12quid, question is are they a handy addition to a toolkit.

Simple answer to this is.......NO......

With Dave on this, don't waste your money

Great for stirring paint. and er........nope thats it

For a good laser level then try this one...


Stabila LAX 50 Self Leveling Laser


The Stabila LAX 50 projects crossed horizontal and vertical lines in a matter of seconds both perfectly levelled.

Unscrew the tripod legs and screw together to form the telescopic pole. Simply clip the LAX 50 on. The telescopic pole can be fixed between floor/ceiling heights of up to 2.75 m.

If placed directly on the ground, its working height is as little as 7 cm.

Can be rotated through 360° on the tripod

Horizontal accuracy: +-0.5mm/m

Requires 3 'AA' Batteries (included)

Nice and bright with a good narrow beam from a trusted brand!

Cheers guys for your quick and vicous answer to my stupid question, I wont bother with it and just lock the gadget feind in me away

The trade descriptions act should be in force here, they should be called 'Laser Unlevel'

About 10 years ago I used to install 'Raised Access Flooring', I installed some HUGE floors, some of them were 500ft long and i wasn't allowed to go out of level by 10mm from one end to the other. The laser level I used then was worth over £2,500

Can I just say I PROMISE NOT TO BUY IT honest

Buy it and give it to someone you dont like

I bought one in ireland here, It's black and decker( yes I no), but i was so impressed with it, I bought a second as backup.It doesn't rely on those sometimes untrustworty tripods as can be mounted to the wall with two pins or steel nail.And it expelles a 15ft horiontal or vertical line, and can then be rotated by hand to cover radius of room. It cost me 80euro and comes with a carry case. Dont buy the gammy cheap one, it will break your heart tryna use it.
