    Stanley fatmax works for me, but I'm the same as Mike, tempted by new technology to go down the laser route. Big job in January, may be a bit left over to treat myself

    Do like the fatmax had one for years, also a hilti laser the problem is if the laser gets knocked tend to always panic its been damaged and end up double checking it with the fatmax.

    I use lasers and bubbles. Use them both for different things and couldn't be without either.

    The iPad was a surprise gift from my wife, but yes, a laser would have been a slightly more mature gift!

    Laser for me most of the time but it's always good to throw the fatmax over it now and then to double check!
