One of the best bits of kit I have is a coat hanger, invaluable at times and never cost me a penny.

do they put the grids on ceiling's mate do u own one cheers

wouldnt say they do, but ive dreamed of these one time, but when you actually do them , you have to ship and shape anyway... i mark centre of room the work out the lengths between them then throw up laser level and measure along . its easier if you work yourself..

as to your original post.. one of them multi cutting tools could come in handy..boosch or others thats what i want next

If you go for the Bosch multicutter ( and as a Bosch fan it seems you would) go for the GOP-250 rather than the 10.8 version as I've heard that the batt life can be limited.

As for lasers believe that Leica did do one that did some form of markings called the Disto-2 if I recall, but pricey.

Lofty.
