Too late all done!
Got a lot of trust in PLS so I know I've made right choice - just got to make sure the wife doesn't know I got 2!

Haha I must admit I’m very lucky, my wife encourages me to get anything for work that makes my life easier.

Marc is your Dewalt any use for setting out floors or is the PLS better?

Does exactly the same job Lee, Dewalt travels further obviously, but the pls has a finer beam at the cross hairs.
I’d still choose the dewalt, second time around.

Marc, you know the little floor targets?
I'm guessing they are handy for multi-room set outs - Square off in one room and place the targets, now I'm free to move laser along to ping a line down in to next room and so on - is that right?

Not been this excited over a new tool since I got my 2nd gen XR brushless dewalt drill + impactor!!!

Absolutely Nick, as long as you’ve set your main datum line, you can move it wherever you like mate, long as you keep one line on it.

When setting out floors with your lasers so you just work to the laser or mark the floor and put the laser away

Last question Marc
If I'm using the targets accurately I assume I can be pinging off new datum lines even though the main DL is in another room and I've no longer got a line on it because I've shifted the targets as I go (y axis then x axis etc..) Jeez sounds way more complicated when you type it out lol

It’s just the same as 345ing trough multiple rooms with a chalk line except you don’t actually have to do the 345. Mark laser lines and strike a line and move on off that and so on.

Sometimes either or both Andy, haha just depends how I’m feeling or what’s happening.
Sometimes I’ll project the laser over the adhesive if I’m doing something like herringbone, where you need to see your line but also need to have adhesive, or say brickbond you understand what I mean Andy?

Haha yes Nick, start with one datum, strike it, move along to next opening or wherever you need a perpendicular line. Set laser along your original datum and set your new datum with the new beam.

You know what I’m saying eh Lee, it’s a touchy feely thing, sometimes you do, sometimes you don’t! Haha
