Don't Make My Mistake Buying a Laser Level

[@MarcusT86]

Good vid. I didn’t know about that pole, I’ll definitely be getting one of those at some point.

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Thank you! Yeah they are good when you need one. Thanks for watching!

[@billy4148]

So the best requirements... 1. 360 degrees 2. Self charging 3. Adjustable levels 4. Magnetic 5. Green light 6. 3 light system Anymore let me know

[@MarkUKInsects]

Really useful, I need one, but have put off buying one because there are so many options. Great that you included the mounts too

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Thank you! Yes definitely go for a 360 one if you can afford it! Thanks for watching!

[@ProjectGreenfieldSolutions]

First attachment is a must! Am considering one of these and your video was exactly what i was looking for.

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Glad to hear! Thanks for watching!

[@markpapp8784]

Interesting - I've not seen one of those 360° levels without a third laser at 90° to the other two. It looks like it's been blanked off on the one you used in the video. Also, you're right about going straight to the 360° level. I bought a fairly expensive one like your second option and have been regretting it since - it was a false economy.

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Yeah they do a model with a third laser, not sure why they chose to send me the two laser version, but the 360 element is still excellent. Yes i think going straight to a 360 rechargeable laser is best. Thanks for watching!

[@adamblade9156]

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to wear some level of safety glasses when using lasers to protect your eyesight no?

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

I doubt they are strong enough to damage your eyesight, I wouldn’t recommend staring into it though! Thanks for watching!

[@deejagers716]

i buy first green one but not 360 and than i buy thius 360 almost same one but producer is GS Goods 89 euro with attachements, remote together. I want now DeWalt, is little expencieve but maybe..

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

360 is well worth it, my latest video compares a number of 360 lasers over different price points. Thanks for watching!

[@mikebloodworth9258]

Does the pendulum lock push the pendulum off its reference position on a flat surface. I have a Detroit Pendulum Cross Line Laser I purchased second hand, so not sure if this normal. I wanted the cross line to lock at 90 deg to flat surface of unit so I can project from a surface on an angle.

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

I believe they lock off at 90, but how accurate that is, I’m not sure. Thanks for watching!

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

Awesome work on your thumbnail, brother! Thanx for this video, im looking into buying a laser

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kalpit3d934]

is there any way to measure the height of those devices, i mean one extra beam to calculate distance from ground.

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

I’m not 100% sure what you mean, but I think you’d have to use a measure or disti. Thanks for watching!

[@user73nsnskAjd]

That bosh laser pole is useless when you don't big houses, you gonna really raise that thing in a double story?

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

I’ve used mine plenty in small houses

[@herbie747]

The one you were given for free wins... what a surprise.

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

If you watch the video more carefully you’ll notice I say any 360 laser, not necessarily the one I show. I also have a more recent follow up video on lasers where I conclude a different laser is best value.

[@ferithedataguy]

That 360 looks great, just can't justify 150 quid for DIY use. I guess I'll stick to the cheapo Amazon one plus some rechargeable batteries. £30 all in will do most jobs just fine.

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

You can go as low as £60 for a 360 laser, I’m not sure how good they are, but there’s a few on Amazon that look okay. Fully appreciate they are still expensive though, depends on your needs really. Thank you for watching!

[@ferithedataguy]

​@TheDiligentDIYer1759 thanks for making these videos, helps a lot 👍

[@sunnydavies3990]

Intrigued to know if a regular camera tripod would suffice for most of the use cases? Agree that pole stand is better though

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Depends on your needs really, the issue i found with a tripod was kicking the legs or it just not being tall enough to get the laser line where i needed it, eg hanging pictures. Thanks for watching!

[@BenjaminAshtonSingleton]

I found an 8 foot selfie stick with a tripod and 1/4 inch threads and man has it been a dream. Only thing is the feet stick out like 12 inches each direction

[@xlfive]

I did The same as you,bought the cheapest for occasional use i didnt do any research first, The link you supplied doesn't ship to UK unfortunately

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Thanks for letting me know, I've added a UK link too. Thanks for watching!

[@SqwarkParrotSpittingFeathers]

Buy rechargeable batteries?

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Yes but that doesn’t solve the other issues with cheap lasers. Thanks for watching

[@naifalsaeedan5413]

Man use a simple 10$ stand instead of that useless tools for adjustment.. thank you great video (avoid the cheap lasers)

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Thanks for watching!

[@kurtchristopher7392]

Great video! Thanks
