Slightly OT - are these things dangerous. I have heard stories that these laser levels can burn out your eyeballs. True or myth?
Thanks,

Staring into the beam for more than a few seconds will cause permanent damage, same as staring at the sun, or at a halogen bulb at close range.
Poking your eyball with a pencil will also cause permanent damage. All those activities fall into the "best avoided" category.
I have just bought a cheapie but haven't used it yet. 15 quid from costco.

Same as any level then as you check those by reversing also. Is there no adjustment?
Nope.
Right. Be fine as a spark's tool, then.
I see Wickes are doing a kit for either £30 or £40, can't remember which.

I bought one from Aldi last month for 19.95ukp don't know if you'd still be able to find one at one of their stores.... Aldi/Lidl are really good for cheap, occasional-use DIY tools.
