Struggles of a laser level

[@joshcook3025]

Put it on a piece of cardboard or something large and flat and move the cardboard rather than the laser itself and you’ll be able to move it super slowly till it lines up

[@Drip5167]

Yeah but then it’s easily bumbled, not stable

[@josephdestaubin7426]

Yep been there done that many times. Was here to suggest putting it on a piece of wood.

[@stephanielafever7680]

That’s me

[@cameronmurray8432]

This is legit why i went to a 360° laser with a slight adjustment nob on the side 😂😂

[@jonlehman2671]

The Milwaukee one has one but it’s 600 dollars

[@Glados1080]

​@Jon Lehman I use hilti lasers at my company, they run 1500 lol but at least I've never had to move my laser manually like that

[@Caniksigboy78]

@@Glados1080I feel you on that

[@lukeberry94]

I've seen some come out recently that have little buttons to help fine tune it without actually moving the unit

[@drmantistoboggan2870]

Just move the mark to where the laser line is

[@SnootchieBootchies27]

I don't think you understand why this is done. Or you're trolling

[@Joe-jv5mm]

🤔😂🤣🤣

[@hatersaywhat8986]

If you’re asking “how’s that mate” you’re doing it wrong.

[@farkmuckerzerg634]

I'm not ashamed to admit I'm that guy. most of he guys I've ever laid anything out with has the same struggle. those things can a pain in the ass to do micro adjustment on

[@hloyhesit8403]

I recently got glasses and am hoping I'll be able to see my lasers better now lmao

[@f1rehawk99]

That’s why we don’t use the square ones, the round ones have a adjustment knob for stuff like this

[@harrisonhein1287]

This is an art

[@stve5523]

😂😂😅 i thought i wuz just me- i be havin da same struggle like wtf- u tap it ever so slightly an the defree gos soo offset lol👏🏽

[@TheDkbohde]

I couldn’t watch it all because the accuracy was too painful

[@jacob51024]

This is why I bought the hilti pm 40mg. Got the bottom red dot laser with the fine adjustment knob. Even the idiots can adjust it.

[@bedoniyt]

I usually put my laser on end of a board to be super accurate.

[@trharrington22]

Was gonna say the same. My laser is in a nice flat box, I just set it on the box and it's a lot easier to move

[@krislink1761]

I always work with those types. Close enough!

[@frozenwalkway]

could probably make a whole geared adjustment base for these things

[@PICKLECREW]

Omg I've never worked with someone that figured out how to move the laser lol... I was always the one to line it up

[@benreber2277]

😂reminds me of Tom. We use different laser but similar idea. I’m uprigger. He’s down rigger. Every time he sets the laser he looks up to see it on the ceiling and covers it with his hand but doesn’t know so he moves it a little and repeats. 5 minutes later ha can see the laser. I pull motor point go down the the ground and then see he was 3” off the mark. 😂

[@nicky9door9999]

I like to put a piece of plastic under the laser so it rotates easily

[@123brendan100]

The average framer

[@dmitriylevitskiy1674]

Funny thing is I'm both voices in my head

[@ashleybarham8518]

Bosch rm2 mount was the end of this issue for me

[@PGRFN]

That used to be me...i now work with that guy

[@packoutjunkie5813]

So true 😂

[@repobud1]

I've been in construction 15yrs professionally and never use a laser.. thay are more hassle than they're worth.

[@AddictedtoTools]

That’s interesting. What sort of work do you do and why would you say they’re a hassle?

[@shawnshaffer4423]

@@AddictedtoTools yeah that’s crazy to me as well that they are a hassle. I do a little bit of framing roofing and gutters but mostly framing and drop ceilings and lasers are kind of the standard now super easy and efficient

[@AddictedtoTools]

100%. Myself and all the other guys I work with and around all use them for heaps of work. Makes some jobs way easier and quicker

[@repobud1]

@@AddictedtoTools I do Residential.. everything but roofing and siding I do like my laser plumb bob and I do own a Bosch laser but every time I go to use it it just takes too long to get it to do what I want you give me a good 2 ft and 4 ft level and I'll get it done

[@sw33tr1de4]

Depends on the job never used them sheeting but we did when we did a couple of shopfits for the frames

[@niklascarlsson2841]

This one dude didn't understand why you need two marks he just kept saying it's on the mark when it was only on one of them

Is that the new Milwaukee wood block

[@ignaciomontes5464]

😅

[@casemodder89]

it is and for 399 its yours. will come in red painting tho.

Love the fake shoe

The shoe is real. Although it is empty

[@thicok4555]

@@markkwik4338 you have a better eye

[@davidcarroll4123]

How do you find that laser is it any good?

[@AddictedtoTools]

It’s good mate. A little slow as it’s electronic leveling but being able to put it upside down and not calibrate it is great

[@my1little2pony]

Try doing this at 200ft in the day light with just a beeper fucking brutal some times you just look at it to move it a inch

[@alexmcmullin6649]

So it's not just me. Lol😂

Buy the Bosch and auto base, never have to do that again

Tap it with your pencil till it lines up!

[@DerMarkus1982]

That's what happens when you *jump* on the laser...

💯💯💯💯🤣🤣🤣

[@lefthandedleprechaun8702]

Me..... everyday

[@eddyent7596]

This isn’t a one guy thing. Once you start moving it over 20’ a little movement is alot at the other side.

[@brianwoods6403]

Maarrkkkkkkkkkkk

[@lousassole9339]

Me lmao

[@dankurtis5738]

Addicted to tools? but you dont own a laser with micro adjust. Pretender.

[@Toddbaldwin00]

Bet you he does

[@sambadel3492]

Probably had a remote one as well

[@karlkarlng]

That's cuz they're using the wrong units

[@shawnconley1675]

Ill be 100% honest, ive never used a laser level a day in my life. Tape measure, speed square, combination squares, levels, chalk line, and string line all work perfectly without fail.

[@billyhorton5779]

They built the pyramids with simple tools.

[@AddictedtoTools]

Great to hear. Sometimes other tools and equipment can make work easier, more efficient and quicker though. 👍

[@SnowingNapalm]

i had to help a buisness setting up new factory tape lines paint lines etc the straightness matters all especially on long long distances ya couldn't see the Lazer in the dayshift so i temporarily switched nights to get a longer feild of veiw this took weeks or months along with other tasks but i just had to come in early leave late and start on other tasks when sunlight started preventing accomplishment then id have to quit whatever I'd switched to like moving in setting up equipment while going back to setting level lines... i got an ey for eyeballing it but my help was "medicated" hey 420 😂 and literally told me they prefer i did the quality part because though slow it was nearly perfect because i had to remeasure and re verify so often... oh yeah plenty of people bumping the sensitive equipment but even the floor vibrations forklifts moving about heavy loads on the fairly fresh concrete I'm talking less than months even weeks old still in it's hardening phase where it needs water washing to absorb and strengthen and dry time but can't be wet laying paint or tape and the construction 🚧 🏗️🚧 dust everywhere making it not stick but i did extremely good then for holidays corperate trying to short term look good or save money not having to pay benefits or insurance let me go while at same time all the employees and boss begging me to come back 😂 o found higher pay immediately by the way but I'd still do a quality job over a quantity job because it lasts and reputation is not just easily given but earned ... actually they set me up with side work that wasn't at my new job so i could throw my spare hours at and earn significantly more than the minimum i was producing quality for ... guess it helps to be able bodied of sound mind and no chemical dependancy addictions which i guess were all their other applicants? some for certain though

[@illusion1378]

I usually just lay it right on the mark and it hits the bull’s-eye every time what kind of dumb ass sets it down and tries moving it
