IS A LASER LEVEL WORTH IT?
Measuring and marking are crucial aspects of any installation job, and
because inaccuracies tend to get compounded over longer distances, the
need to be precise (from the start) is vital.
While conventional spirit levels will always have a purpose, they don't feature
the same level of accuracy as a laser level. In addition, because their length
is limited, errors can creep into the measuring process when working on
wide-spanning jobs like paving, tiling, decking and bricklaying.
Fortunately, laser levels don't have this problem as they cast a perfectly level
line across a broad area – up to 120 meters depending on the model.
WHICH LASER LEVEL IS BEST GREEN OR RED?
Because red lasers are easier to manufacture and simpler in design, they're
typically more affordable and durable than green lasers.
However, generally speaking, green lasers are significantly brighter. They
also travel further distances visible to the naked eye and due to their light
spectrum, they're easier to see in a wide range of lighting conditions –
including broad daylight.
