Lufkin LLS1 Laser Square: Has anyone got or seen one?
Dear Chaps,
I'm looking to pick up some sort of a Tiling-Setout Laser, and the LLS1 by Lufkin (photo below) is on the shortlist:
Attachment 114962
Only trouble is, their website says very precious little whatsoever about the unit
. So if any of you have either got one, or have had a close-up gander of one, might you kindly address the following questions for me:
1) Does the thing shoot two proper vertical lines at 90deg to each other, or just a couple of useless dots?
2) If you look closely at the photo, you can see a little thumbwheel on the unit's side. Does this indicate that it actually has adjustable levelling-feet?
Many Thanks,
Batpig.

Dear VEK,
She's Australian-market alright; I saw one in a box somewhere a couple of months back, but never bothered to have a closer look at the time. Here's a link to a page that you can get to it from at their website:
(click on "Laser Levels" under the general sub-heading of "Levels")

What you say about the Tiler's Lasers generally shooting lines is true, but the only thing is - Lufkin aren't specifically calling it a Tiling Laser (so Buyer beware...
). The possibility that it has adjustable levelling-feet has got me interested...
Best Wishes,
Batpig.

Dear Gents,
Cooper Hand Tools have very kindly and promptly e-mailed some info about the unit to me this morning, and it appears that it does indeed shoot "lines" rather than just "dots". It has an adjustable levelling-foot (as in singular?...) for use on a tripod, and the little bubble-levels are back-lit. Comes with a pair of those red laser-enhancing goggles.
Best Wishes,
Batpig.

But it's not self leveling which means you would be better off using a ordinary level and straight edge.
I have the LCL4 which is self leveling and has the x beams as well as a dot up and down. It also will screw to a camera tripod which allows you to adjust the hight with the tripod hight screw.
I checked mine with an optical dumpy level and over 12m (6 each way) it was +/- 1mm which I thought was pretty good as over that distance the laser line was 4mm thick.Don't force it, use a bigger hammer.
Timber is what you use. Wood is what you burn.
