Thanks Karl. I jumped into the thread late and didn't see Leon's links. I'll find them and see if I can pick one up tomorrow.
Much appreciated!

At $50, it's almost a throw away.
Sounds like it's limited to indoor work which isn't a problem.
What about outdoor work?
Significant price increase?
My interest was what was available today.

I thought you were color blind?
Now Leon has two different Ryobi levels posted. Which one is the right one?

Tom Watson
Swingman has the Blue $50 version, the one I posted a link to first. Not the Tek4 green version posted second.
Thanks Leon.
being a cheap bastige, i'll go with the first one.

Tom Watson
I got one of those $50 levels which are really good indoors and also got = to set the top rail on my fence. At 50 feet the dot got a little big = but it was still useable. Wouldn't be without it. Only 1 caveat -- = works better outdoors at night. ;-) P D Q

I love your Day 2 toe-kick drawers and their enlightened description of use. ;)

Before they became common, had one client that kept things she didn't want the maid to find in the kitchen toe-kick drawers.
Impossible to see, I learned early that if you use them you'd better let the floor guys know not to nail them shut when applying shoe molding.
Having worked with that one I'd get it too.
LOL. And remember to open the door before nailing the trim around a new door jam.
Snowing at your house yet? Too cold to work outside. ;~(

Do both sides of the door in one hanging with these, Jeffo: (shit, I can't find them anywhere) Well, they're rotatable hooks with an expandable 30mm disc which fit into the euro hole in the cabinet doors so you can hang 'em for spraying. I could have sworn LVT had them, and I can't find them on WWHardware, either. Go figure.
Note to WeeGee: The Master Rockhard Table Top Varnish I used on the freebie dining table was as follows:
"Put a beautiful, hard amber finish on your fine furniture projects! This top-of-the-line phenolic resin ?short oil? varnish has a low percentage of oil for a super durable finish. Perfect for tabletops where a harder finish is required. "
"Waterlox vs. Urethane - Waterlox forms a protective finish that won?t chip, peel, crack, or wrinkle. Waterlox never requires sanding for adhesion purposes. So touch-ups can be done at any time without sanding down to the bare wood. Waterlox gives you a naturally beautiful, protective finish that never looks like a sheet of plastic"

I did a little reading about these gizmos last night and, despite being a cheap bastage, I went for the Tek4 model. I already had their Tek4 infrared thermometer and was impressed by its design and performance.
The new level gizmoid is really cool. I've got at least two ceiling projects I can use it on.
At this rate I might actually make it into the twenty first century before I die...
nah.

Probably. OTOH, filling the green tube with bleach water will clean it out in half an hour, should you choose to accept that mission. A new tool sounds like a much better idea. I picked up a HF Multifunction tool yesterday for $35. That's a $365 savings over the Fein, so I bought a hot dog at Costco to splurge some of the savings.
I bought a StraitLine Intersect laser and haven't used it yet (no tile or cabinet hangin' jobs in the 2 years since.) $8 + $7 priority shipping from an eBay vendor. BTW, always doublecheck any laser line which doesn't come from a unit costing $1,377 from Berger. ;)

Same unit, same price, but the one from CPO is a refurb. :\

Iffy. Just work at night.
Indeed.
The high-dollar units are usable outside because their lasers are much brighter and the lines cleaner. That's just one of the major drawbacks of the cheap units. Surveyors use laser detectors for longer distances outdoors.

"Larry Jaques" reveals his true culinary tastes by admitting...
I read an article recently about the CEO of Costco. It turns out those hot dogs are world famous. The do an incredible volume of those hot dogs and pledge to always make them available for a reasonable price. And they are extra big sellers overseas.
You are not alone in "splurging" on Costco hot dogs. ;)
Flurries ... Michelle spent the night last night and it was like when she was a little girl again when I woke her and her Mom hollering upstairs: "It's snowing ... in Texas! Look out the window, quick, or you'll miss it!"
They can move fast when they want to ... :)
_Much_ better unit!
Basically I need to scribe a line on walls once or twice a year, so I took up your slack on being the cheap bastidge.

:) Often that way in TN, too, altho once't in a while even in the valley it would really dump on us...
Definitely too cold here -- 'twas 7F when first looked out and since we'd been near 70F and barely frozen before that was feelin' "right nippy" this am doin' chores... :(
What's it doin' in the Valley--the cold gettin' that far down? Not heard from mom's side of family re: citrus, etc., ...
