Automatic Gyroscopic Laser Level

Do they all automatically stay level? Thought a tripod was used that has a bubble in it, I didn't realise they did them like this. And for the money too! 💰 🤑 💸 💲 🪙

Yup...set them up somewhere close to level and they sort themselves out. Very useful bit of kit, especially for getting your downlights in a row, never mind your sockets, and essential for cable drops too.
Also, laser measures are very useful in a number of ways. I love a laser!
 
They are one of the "cool to have" things I would like to get, but I hardly ever need one and my own flat, my sisters & parents semi-detached homes, are all of Victorian age and practically nothing is horizontal/vertical!

I've used one for a few years now. Wouldn't be without it.
Different one though.

Same as mine. Suitable detector gives it a range of 30m or so (haven't needed further) outdoors, even in bright sunlight.
Had a £18 Lidl one for a year or two before, that I couldn't fault, but needed to upgrade for the 150m of underground drains I've dug in over the last couple of years

Actually I have the one in the original post. It's very good for the money and impressively bright.
It comes with a magnetic mount.
Funnily enough before you started this thread I'd just ordered the threaded rod and nuts from Toolstation to build one of these because I'm too tight to pay for the adjustable pole.

Huepar is good kit, one of mine is a Hue!

It's been excellent and will Project a fair way and will do all around which is very useful for kitchens.
Mine didn't come with a tripod but I have an old one that came from another laser that was the same mount.

I actually made some magnetic L brackets that the laser attached to as it would on a tripod.
It was nearly free, a cut in half floodlight bracket with some neodymium magnets metal glued onto it!
Comes in handy for commercial steel framed buildings!!

It's Green energy and green laser for me :)
 
Oddly enough the joiner where I was working this morning has one from the same brand, different model, that @Dan linked to and he's very pleased with it.
Can't fault it and apparently it does stuff that much more expensive ones can't.
 
I might get one then I was looking out for some negative feedback on it but it doesn't seem to have issues. For the price it'll be handy for what tiny bits of tiling I do if nowt else.
 
I've had one like this for about 5 years, it's been brilliant.

I have the Bosch Professional GCL2-55 and used it for a 3 wall backsplash with pencil tile in a kitchen and several sets of shelving that went around a corner or two... This is not the best model, but it worked great. Worth every penny. Still double checked it with various levels... it was pretty much on the level.

If it was pretty level, especially over a short distance, then I wouldn't agree that's its worth every penny.

Easy to check accuracy. Mark a line on a wall close to the laser and one on a wall much further away. Move the laser to the far position, turn it through 180 degrees and line it up with the mark nearest it. The difference between the original mark and the laser beam is the error over twice the distance between the two positions.

Yes agreed, Huepar are a good reliable green laser for the price and you don't need the all signing dancing version. Spend any spare money then on Huepar mounting brackets. There are a more than a few options.
 
I bought this one from Amazon back in 2021 and wouldn't be without it . . . .

Also bought a tripod to go with it from Amazon. It can be a bit of a faff adjusting the 3 leg heights right but worth it in the end.

I'm pretty certain it was less than 50 quid for the lot.
