MAGNUSSON 21-GCL001 Green Self-Levelling Cross-Line Laser Level & Case - £29.99 with free click and collect from Screwfix

If that’s all you’re going to use it for then just use some masking tape. stick it on the back of the mirror where the brackets are, poke the holes with a pencil or something and then take the masking tape off and stick it to the wall and just use a normal spirit level to make sure it’s straight. Then just drill where the holes are on your masking tape

I've just picked it up, the green laser is very bright, seems like it will be a great bit of kit for the money on first impressions

I've got the Lidl one, it's okay but the clamp/mount thing isn't great and it seems to eat batteries - if I didn't have it I'd probably get this instead!

I'm a tiler and I couldn't live without my laser. Like Hawkeye said perfect for setting out. I use it to quickly mark the heights of bath, windows, door etc on one wall and then if you lay tiles out on floor with spacers and mark grout lines on a long batton you can quickly work out best height to start at. Then set up laser to chosen height and easily mark tiles for cutting. Makes life so much easier. Also great for DIYing.

Is yours a 360 one? Trying to imagine what use cases I might have for one, or if it's just better to get something like the one here

Within reason, if too far out the pendulum will not be able to travel far enough if anything like my Lidl special.

That flashes to show not level.

It's standard 1/4" thread so camera tripods will work. Often the light stands for photography are even better as the have a telescopic bit and go to different heights. They normally have 1/4" thread too.

Does it have a magnetic mount?

You can buy that one on AliExpress for half the price

This one is an awful lot more accurate. The one you bought mentions + or - 2mm per 10m, whereas this one is 0.3mm per 10m. Quite the difference.

0.3mm at 10m!!

Same position as you. Decided to buy one. I know it will come of use. Me telling myself not long ago I need to stop buying things I don't necessarily need... What a fool I am. (edited)

Do you know which one of their models would compare to this one?

Agreed, I found using wire to hang them better, can twist the wire until they all hang the same level

It may not be "better" than the manual method but it's meant to be faster. For example, I used one to hang 3 pictures on a landing wall recently. I just found the height I needed, clamped it to the step ladder and switched it on - I got a perfectly straight line projected onto the wall and I just had to sort out the distance between the pictures. It was a lot quicker than the manual alternative. If you were just doing a single item(s) infrequently then I wouldn't say it would be worthwhile unless you enjoy gadgets!

Id say this one. Save £10. and Screwfix are easier to deal with if anything goes wrong

A bloke i work with has the dewalt, i have the magnusson one, mine was more visable in the daylight working outside, he was pretty peed off (edited)

The level comes with a bracket that has 2 magnets and a keyhole shaped cutout in it. So you could use the keyhole cutout to hang it on a screw/nail in another wall and direct the laser towards your alcoves. But this requires the screw to be at exactly the right height, so you'll end up putting holes all over you wall. A tripod with 1/4" thread is the best way to hold this level and allow height adjustment.
