rotary laser level recommendation

[britishboy7]

As above, am planning a new patio, across 2 levels and levelling off the grass area too, was suggested a rotary laser level to help me out, any recommendations for one that wont break the bank?

Ideally one I can get on amazon so I can try it out first

Buy from a local supplier. Not online.
To much hassle.
As far as a patio goes a good builders bubble level will be fine.

Your not going to see the beam at this time of year without a detector unless you set the levels at dusk or dawn.

Affordable rotary laser level (at least if accurate and reliable/maintainable) is a bit of an oxymoron

I should have added that for exterior work in daylight a laser receiver will be necessary and that a non-rotary 360 degree laser (with 2 or 3 axes) and self levelling should syffice for domestic wotk. It will cost much less, too. Look at Heupar lasers on Amazon for low cost multi axis/360° lasers and receivers, or deWalt for better stuff (although the DW units are twice the price). If you are feeling particulsrly flush tske a look at the Leica Rugby 600 series rotary lasers and you'll see what iI mean about price

I have a bosch and topcon rotary.
Recently the bosch receiver stopped picking up any signal.
However the topcon receiver works with the bosch and the bosch receiver works with the topcon.
Its very perplexing.

You can use a rotary level in outside daylight and without a receiver.

Get the level rotating until it gets itself er level. Then slow the rotating motor down until it's stopped. Then rotate the laser spot to a point you want to mark (if nothing there, stick a peg in).

I've done this loads of times, it works very well.

I don't know if it's any good but this self levelling rotary from screwfix is only £100

That's a 360° NOT a rotary
