I’ll level with you, until I was commissioned to cover these now central components of the construction industry, I’d never actually used a laser level before. Spirit levels, countless times in the course of my distinctly amateur carpentry, yes, but the world of laser levels was a whole new one to me; and now I’ve seen the light.
So, laser levels have been knocking around the pro-construction industry for some time, but it’s only now those of us with a degree of DIY about us are seeing the bountiful benefits of beaming a laser around for all manner of projects around the house, from tiling with confidence to hanging doors without all the sweating normally associated to simply sticking up some shelves that won’t be on the wonk.
