Depends, by 21 my mate was already going bald so any hairdryer would have had an easy life, unlike one I purchased around that age when it had a short life being abused to dry things like wet jeans and finally met its end after I forgot it was stuck down a wet wellie and it melted.

I've got that one and it's pretty good. Usable outside after dusk over about 20m too. Has a standard camera tripod thread but no useful supplied clamp (the supplied clamp is crap) so worth looking around for CCTV/camera clamps or a floor-ceiling pole (I have one from a previous laser that works with this).
I'm waiting for green line lasers to get cheap and make it into these tools... I expect it will happen at some point.
I have never seen a green laser level in use and I have worked at a lot of sites.
A quick google search says that green laser is more visible to the human eye.
I'll expect that the ceiling guys will be the first to use it.
Merry Christmas.
what's wrong with red ones?
Nothing
What's green and eats nuts?
That's the theory - supposed to be usable outside in normal light.
Yes - although the last building site I was on, they ceiling fitters were using a rotating red dot laser - so they have not even made it quite that far.
You too matey! No cooking for me today for a change, I fecked up the Xmas online order so rather than go through the hell that is Sainsburys on the 23rd/24th , we're going to a local restaurant for Xmas lunch at
3pm :)Fridge is full of M&S clearout party food from the industrial estate branch (not very busy unlike town) so that's the next couple of days sorted too.
You can't see them in daylight outside...
Gay Shrek?
Syphilis.
What's yellow and green and eats nuts?

In full sunlight perhaps, but I've used them out of door in the day time
You can if the target is white.
Not much use for the police then.

Naah, can't justify that.
The beam itself is supposed to be more visible with a green laser. I think astronomers prefer to use green as a star pointer.
I cant handle this racism....
White people is one thing but green people??? :-)
Treens ruled by the Mekon, of course.
That's easily solved, don't get one with a warranty.
