best laser for marking ceilings

[dan7202]

I am looking at getting a laser to help when marking out downlighters but not sure what to get.
Any suggestions ?

Dewalt cross line is my weapon of choice.

that+tape/ruler/big foldable square does the job better, in my humble opinion.

got a basic diy quality green bosch laser too, almost any will do but need to have an option to let it running without internal balance circuits.

Try a phased plasma rifle, with 40 Watt range.


or failing cheesy "Terminator" quotes, as above, any will do they're all bladdy brilliant

In my day a laser was a bloke who couldn't be arsed to do a day's graft.

Cheapest one you can buy. If all you want is a straight line between two points do not bother with an all singing all dancing self levelling one as it will make no difference.

But if you want a self levelling one, i use ad owuld recommend the Bosch GLL 2-50.

I have the Bosch GLL 380 P, I like it because it has 3x full 360 degree laser lines which means you doing virtually anything with it. Ok it was pricey but it makes marking down lighters and sockets etc a breeze. I know a type measure does the same, but anything that makes life easier. FFX do very good prices on most stuff.

I have been using the dewalt dw087, cant recommend it enough

Same as above for the Dewalt, so much easier finding levels for measures when doing trunking and the like.

try one of these. even drills your pilot holes.

I use the dewalt laser level with a camera tripod. It works a treat and saves it getting kicked over

But you still need to work between two points.. Chalk line just as quick, but like the dewalt..

Stanley fatmax is what I have, great bit of kit just make sure you get a pole not tripod then it's easy to do any height

That may be the case but the obvious problem with that is the chalk residue. Technology is king
