Bosch 18V Rotary Laser GRL 600 CHV - Battery Powered! [2020]

I first used a rotary laser in 1986-87ish. On my first big commercial job. Wow! What a game changer. I your work requires a lot of elevations checks, these are a MUST-HAVE tool! One man can set grade stakes all day long much faster than a two man team with an optical level and and a grade stick. Can't remember exactly but I think it was fast beep=go down, slow beep=go up, and solid tone=on grade. For concrete flat work? Forget about it. Dump a little pile of concrete at the opposite corner of an imaginary square a foot or so smaller than your screed length and strike it off to grade with the laser. Then connect the pile with a line of concrete back to the form. Use the floated pile and the form as reference to screed the connecting line down. Now you have a line on grade and a form on the other side. Fill in between the line and form and screed off the filled area. One 10 or 12 foot box at a time. 1 man on the hose, 1 or 2 on the screed, 1 checking grade, 1 with a come-along/rake. No grade stakes to pull/forget. No more screed pipes leaving low lines. Dot, connect, fill, dot, connect fill, dot connect fill. + - 1/8 in in 10 ft with ease. Lather, rinse, repeat. All day long. They really changed the game.

Last week I was on construction site where concrete crew was using some Bosch rotary laser. I was called to check concrete level. Worst spot was +2mm from projected level and it was 40x110m building.

Spent 700£ on 3plain laser Great level but there magnetic bracket is not strong enough i won't to put it on a metal stud with out it falling down at the first small bump bracket for the 3 plain is exactly the same as my bosch 2 plain but the laser is 3 times the weight.

Last week, Milwaukee announced new green line lasers to be available in November, but no rotary lasers. I'd bet they aren't far behind though.
