Circusmonkey Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I have never even heard of that brand, have you tried http://www.johnsonlevels.comI would be leery of a product thats hard to find to purchase, imagine when you need service or warranty work it would suck.

wayneburgess Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Does anyone else use a laser level?I Know I would not be without mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PutnamEco Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I like Stabila for both laser and spirit levels. Pacific Laser Systems make a good laser level/plumb as well. Have you got a digital level yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneburgess Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I have a Dewalt Laser level which has been a little belter and use Stabila level as my every day.I like the look of the new Stanley levels, but as yet I have not bought a digital level.

PutnamEco Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I have a Dewalt Laser level which has been a little belter and use Stabila level as my every day.I like the look of the new Stanley levels, but as yet I have not bought a digital level.The only thing that really makes the digitals worth it to me is the audio, that little beep can sure make life easier sometimes.I'm wondering if you have Empire and Crick levels across the pond. Empire I would guess are our second most popular levels here in the states, judging by what I see on job sites, Crick levels are really popular among the brick and stone guys and I like them for shop use.I have been seeing Bosch lasers being pimped out in a lot of stores around here, and have been wondering how they stack up.A lot of people end up uwwing and awwing over Festools lighted level whenever anyone breaks one out. I just can't see a black level, not with the heat we have here, and I have to ask why a black level with a light? If your going to be working in a dark environment, I would think a brightly colored level would be a lot easier to find in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneburgess Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I will keep an eye out for those makers but they don't jump out as ones I have seen.And as far as the Festool level maybe the designer was that guy you asked about describing green to? LOLThe Bosch laser looks quality but to be honest that old Dewalt laser of mine has been a cracker, and anything more substantial for very big jobs i would probably hire in.

PutnamEco Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Stabila also did a level in black for their 120th anniversary.None of my local rental agencies have any laser levels for rent. If I had wanted to spend half a day driving I could go pick one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneburgess Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Wow some of the big industrial revolving laser levels are very expensive and that is a serious investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneburgess Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I would love to review laser levels and rotary laser levels red versus green laser to see which is really better.Also versatility of use and battery use as many of them can eat AA batteries and that can cost a bloomin fortune when like me you use them all day every day.Green lasers are supposed to shoot a beam further and be easier to see when the daylight is stronger, but is that really true?I would like to find out.Is a rotary level really the way to go over a cross line laser.Are the floor leveling levels really up to use on a job site.And do the lasers designed for tiling shoot a strong and accurate enough beam to tile in real world applications?These are all tests I would like to do to let the good folks know how they perform before they shell out hard earned cash.

Conductor562 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I don't know about laser levels but I can tell you this for sure, a green laser pointer will shine probably 3 times as far as a red one of the same power. I imagine the same would hold true with levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moze Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Posting because I recently added the DeWalt DW987K laser to my tiny arsenal.I use it to hang signs. There are times when I have 50 or more signs to install all at the same height (ie: hospital patient room signs). I have the laser mounted to a tripod which is mounted on my cart. I can raise the tripod so the laser is at the needed install height of the sign, then I just roll down the hall and hang signs. Works pretty well. Here's the setup:In use:The level: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
