Just picked up a rotary laser level to help with a couple of ceiling jobs on our latest fixer house. One of the rooms was formerly a porch and the ceiling has a drop off of about 2″ from one end to the next. The other ceiling has about a 1″ variation due issues with the way it was framed. 100 years ago, when lathe and plaster was the method, a good plaster job could cover a sin that large. Not today.
I picked up this Johnson level at Home Depot last night. It was $69 at home depot, so I paid a bit more than I needed to, but having it on hand for was more important. I’ll follow up with a review of the Johnson rotary laser level after completing a couple of projects. You can’t beat the price compared to some of the pro tools. This could save a handyman hours if doing a drop ceiling, chair rails, etc.

Nice article on a rotary laser. A bit pricier, but between the low end of the home market and the high end of the construction market, you can find great self leveling, rotary lasers like the Topcon RL H3C – which you can see here – http://www.topconstore.com/content/topcon-rl-h3c
