DeWalt DW087K Laser Level

[merlecollins]

Anyone know of a good touch for buying one of these?

They are quite varying on price but I'm after a new one so I get the warranty

I got mine a few years back from local seller on Ebay but it was a Euro model. Cant see any difference and has been faultless.

My dad (a tiler as well) has a one as well and they seem pretty indestructible, but it'll just be my luck that something will be wrong and I'll need to use the warranty:mad2:

I've seen them from a pretty kosher firm in Sheffield for 144 quids including postage and I think I'll end up going there, but just wanted to make sure there was nowhere cheaper first call me a rabii if you like :lol:

Thats a good price, i think i paid £137 but that was 2 years (ish) ago.

 

[merlecollins]

Thats a good price

I thought so too, especially with the back up service they offer

Just checked and its actually 146.96......

hi merlecollins

becareful where you buy one of these dw087k's! there loads on ebay that are reconditioned. i bought one from a dewalt center because i was talking to one of their guys and they claim many get damanged in transit so if i were you, pay a few quid more and go to a store..many will knock money off in this climate so be pushy but polite...i like these lasers and i wouldnt hesitate to recomend them for small to medium sized areas...the dewalt dw060k floor laser square is great too!

dont be fooled by the robustness of them, if you drop them, the damage easily ie small glass, damaged diodes, etc etc so look after it..

i would only ever buy 3 brands of lasers...dewalt, pls, hilti

hope this helps you out mate
Ed....

Cheers Ed,

You've just said everything that I have been thinking - I can get one from a local shop where I know I can take it back for an exchange if anything goes wrong, but they want 150 quids....... but obviously that price is no probs if anything DOES go wrong

iI paid about £15 more for mine I think, they wouldn't budge on the price of the level but I got them to do me a deal on a dewalt tripod (£60 down to £20) I looked at a few and was considering the bosch one for the same money but that came with a fabric pouch as opposed to a hard plastic case. Its become really important for me to be able to stack my tools and not to mention the added protection it gives whilst in the back of your van

 

[merlecollins]

Well ya bugger - I've just got one off fleabay for 80quids:yikes:

I'm more than aware that it was a risk but for 80 notes what the hell
