Laser Level?

[janette]

I'm going to be doing a project and one of these would probably help make it much easier. It seems like I've seen some that will stay on the wall while you can hang or mark where you want things.

Any suggestions on what is nice to have and what isn't worth the money. The prices seem to vary quite a bit but not sure if a little better one would be worth that much more.

TIA

I bought one for DH last Christmas. I got him a Craftsman one. To me, they seemed sturdier than the lesser expensive ones. If I remember correctly it wasn't that expensive either, like $24.99 or something like that.

I just saw a tv ad for one that look cool. I can't remember the name but is is an Air something or other. It looked like it used suction to stay on the wall-they showed a guy trying to stick a toilet plunger on his head during the ad. It came with some attachments that would help you hold long pieces of what ever you are doing, putting up trim for example.

I have a craftsman one. It works well but it uses small spikes to hold itself onto the wall that doesn't work well on plaster walls, which we have. The level itself is nice though.

I have the Craftsman one, and I don't remember spikes. Interesting. I do know my DH put it on a camera tripod to do something.. maybe that was why?

It could be a different model. Mine came in a red carrying case. I got mine for a Christmas present last year.


This is the one I have.
