Self Levelling laser what's decent ?

[Soulsurfer]

Hey all, after a strong light / non cheapy laser to project horizontal & vertical lines for downlights and metal boxes etc.. my mate from up North just got a green one for his ceiling fixing company think was a Hilti, said was £600 plus but long distance and apparently much better in bright light than red ? But not spending that kind of cash ! Dewalt ones seen a lot and around £180 here, any other opinions on them ? Cheers.

Had my Dewalt for a few years now - its excellent. In addition I bought a Stanley 3.6m tripod / pole to use with it, and that too has proved invaluable

I've got the Dewalt 088k, can't go wrong with it. It's got a magnet so you can stick it to the metal stud in plasterboard walls. Got mine for around £130

Most use the deWalt. I've a deWalt laser and spotter. The Hilti rotates whereas the deWalt has a solid red line.

Dewalt DW088K is fantastic for the money.

Think the ceiling boys use Dewalt with the magnetic / clip on brackets I think, might be on offer at moment for £120 odd but didn't know if bright enough but should be I think, thanks all

I have only owed the Bosch range of which have served me well. In recent months I purchased the GLL2-80PBMCC of which gives 360º for both horizontal and vertical projection of which I find more useful. A little pricey, but depends how much you use them I suppose. It has a 40 mtr range and also comes with a decent case and universal mount. About £330

I don't think the line lasers are suitable for large ceilings, I see a couple of Polish lads use a DeWalt in a supermarket refurb a couple of years ago in Ramsgate. It was all over the place. If I were installing ceilings of any size I'd prefer a water level over the the cheaper line lasers.
