Tim Mackey Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Bought on impulse yesterday as we browsed around Lidl - this twin laser level, complete with tripod is a great gadget. Here it is being used to check the geometry of my B52 tailplane assembly. It has two (illuminated ) spirit levels built into the unit, magnets for attaching to metal surfaces, and even a little tripod.It throws a nice powerful laser beam with both vertical and horizontal in an exact cross hairs configuration. Amazing value. Im pretty happy that the geometry and alignment of the tail end is pretty well spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Fairgrieve Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I have used similar less expensive units to good effect. May have to take a look at those though. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve W-O Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Tim, I like it, but must say I think it will be useless for 99.99% of modellers. From previous threads, it would seem that most people would find it a challenge to find space on their work area to put the device on a clear space, let alone space to set it up as you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ-Hawk Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I have plenty of room and would find it quite useful!! ? Others?? so thats 99.8% already Nice one Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
