Besides being an industrial sparkey from 7 to 3:30 every day. I'm not too proud to admit that I use my god given skills to do various side work for people so I can make a better life for my family. I network with several other craftsmen like myself and have built a very nice clientel list. As we grow and expand I like to reinvest a portion of my extra income into new tools so as to make future jobs easier.
Recently during a remodeling job we rented a rotory laser to hang the ceiling. Like Iwire said, I could instantly see where I could use this for many other jobs. There is a button to stop the rotation so you can use it the same way gramps uses his laser level.
I clicked on the advertisement for laser levels here on ECN to the left of Trumpy's post. they had a basic model with a hard case for $240.00. That is definitely a do-able amount for the amount of time this tool could save a crew of guys.
We do a lot of custom work for well-to-do people who have more money than skills. The idea of using "laser precision" and the "impressive" factor of spinning a laser around their room will get them to open their checkbooks more. I'll probably buy the cool orange glasses for the crew to add to the "experience".
