Johnson Laser Line Level

[Darren Wright]

I figured I'd need to do some line layouts for my pergola base plates, but wasn't sure if I'd have any help holding the chalk lines on the concrete, and given I do a lot of flooring, tile work, and picture hanging, I figured a line laser would come in handy.

I picked up one that is self leveling, shoots a cross hair out one side and a plumb line out 90* to the cross hairs. It can be mounted on a tripod too.

Some action shots...1) The laser, 2) directly across from the laser, 3) to the right of the laser.


The laser can also be locked during transportation or left locked and each set of lasers turned on/off to align with existing layout lines/objects.

I should get a lot of use out of this one. I've had a few in the past without the auto level and they haven't been as useful as I see this one being.

It's interesting with all of the angles.
Will it be bright enough for outdoors or will you need red goggles?

Goggles or at least something reflective.

EXcellent. Not sure how useful it would be around here, as not much is plumb or level in this house, lol.

Looks like a handy addition to the tool kit. I'm also glad to see the hung picture and switch plate in your living room are plumb.

My daughter is having me look at a house for her tonight. The inspection report shows some rotted structure, so planning to use it to see just how unlevel the floors are and where.

Lol, I think my grandson probably bounced off that wall last time he was over, surprised the pics are as straight as they are.

A properly-installed picture should be earthquake-proof. At least that's how we did it in LA, lol.

darren they make receivers for some of them to use in bright light conditions,, they are a very handy tool to have for sure

 

[Darren Wright]

Cool, thanks Larry.

The laser came in handy the other day looking at older houses with my daughter. I'd set it at one end of the rooms and measure the differences to figure out just how bad some of the foundation problems were and pinpoint the causes. More than paid for itself already.

I think you will indeed get a lot of use out of it. I bought a functionally identical Bosch laser about three years ago and I've been happy with it...although I'd have been happier with the price you paid. I bought it while remodeling my stairs and its first real test came in laying out the baluster locations. Really, really handy.
