laser level

[brizospark]

I have been assigned to a job where I have to install a lot of containment down straight corridors, some of which are around 30m long so I have decided that now is the time to invest in a laser level

Basically what I am looking for is a laser level which can sit on a tripod and project a line down the ceiling. There are steel beams across the ceiling at 4m intervals so my thinking is to sit the laser on a tripod and project up to the ceiling at an angle

I would like a laser to project at least 30m

Any suggestions for a price limit around £150?

i've got the bosch cross laser was £130 at the time. it does really well. The new dewalt is even better,but if i had to buy another one tomorrow i'd opt for the Leica but don't know what money they are?

Watched a chap use a rotating laser marker once to fit a false ceiling....what a piece of kit mustve saved hours faffing about (with chalk !!!!) Saying that i am still a spirut level and chalk man. Christmas soon.

lining up holes in joists! i guess your not working on a price! i think holes in joists by eye is quite acceptable. but i do use the dewalt laser level and it is very good, especially for kitchens when they are being tiled because sockets that arent level with the tiles do look mmmmmmmmmmmmmm nice. and yes i have used it for lining up fittings down long corridors in a sports centre and it works fine.

A chalk line is the way forward IMO. You'll have to measure and mark out couple of points to make sure the laser is running through them both so you might as well just ping a line between the marks! then no one can knock your tripod just as you finished setting out!
