While I like to standardize on brands – for some reason we have a real mix and match on rotating laser levels – with a 4 CST/Bergers, 2 David Whites and 6 Johnson (Acculine Units) – all of different vintages. What I can say is that they are getting better (they offer more for less money) – and some of my guys like the newer green lasers. I’ve heard good things about Pacific Laser – so maybe the next units we buy will warrant a switch.

I don't say she's a durable as the stabilia, but a plumb line is just a sexy thing. For interior layout, my local pro shop sold me on a:

Two dots is the only plumb you'll get from this. More of a tool for setting a level elavation from a benchmark. Something like Pacific Laser Systems PLS 180 is what I like for interiors. www.plslaser.com Not very handy for interior work, as It doesn’t light a vertical “plumb” line.

And from a lot higher than 3 feet. If one of my guys dropped this, I’d be dropping _him_ onto concrete. And from a lot higher than 3 feet.
