Can anyone suggest a way to check the accuracy of a laser level? The one I have has a small tripod. I've been trying to think of an easy way to test it for accuracy. I thought about sitting it on a piece of wood floating in a very calm indoor swimming pool at night when the lights are off, and shining the laser onto the opposite wall of the pool - but that's not really an option as I don't have any friendly neighbourhood swimming pool owners nearby. There has got to be an easier way, isn't there? TIA PhilK

Use water to find your reference levels, but inside a clear flexible tube rather than a swimming pool ...

Mine is like thae second of the above two types, except that it's about a third of the size. The body of the level is only about 200mm long. It shines a horizontal line rather than a spot. It has two bubbles on top: one latitudinal and one longditudinal, so to speak.
