Laser Levels Online

Damnation - late to the party. I have been toying with a laser level for a few years. We use little DW088K units for plant rooms (setting out clips and flues etc) and they are great as magnetic so usually something to stick them to in small rooms, or a nail in the wall and stick them to a hanging saw blade. Brilliant and cheap enough for all the lads to have one in their vans. Also good for setting up burner heights on vapourising cookers, although that is a dying trade (thankfully). What I am after next is something to use to set up the following (ideally solo) for the day job and also for my own projects.
Checking Oil Tank levels from tank to appliance in gardens.
Checking available fall from bathroom outlets to nearest sewer connections.
Setting concrete fence posts for panel fences.
Setting out level concrete slabs for larger oil tanks.
Setting out bases for small buildings for level and square (so need a 90 degree function) (very seldom)
Digging the odd set of drains to a fall/soakaways.
Leveling gateposts.
Digging out level sites in sloping ground ( usually only upto 3m square, but have a couple of 6x10m projects coming)

I dont see much need a tool that is good for indoor work (green line) as most of what I want to do will be outside with a staff and detector.
Looks like the Fukuda FRE-203XR Laser Kit with upgrade to FRD800R for about £600+ will be the right thing for me?
I am Dewalt fan and have toyed with this https://www.toolstation.com/dewalt-18v-xr-rotary-green-laser/p60632 but by time you buy a decent tripod/staff its almost double the money.
Have spent about 2 hours reading through all the posts and slightly fried my brain.

Hi,

Based on the intended usage outlined above, the Fukuda FRE-203XR would both meet and exceed your requirements. Simply put, it's the type of product that regardless of the application, it has the features to meet your needs, but without the price tag to match.

I agree that a good upgrade on this particular kit is to have the FRD800R (mm/inch) Detector to see the elevation or drop on the display e.g 10mm - 8mm - 5mm - 2mm - LEVEL.

As an overview the the Fukuda FRE-203XR is a fully self-levelling red beam rotary laser which levels on the horizontal, vertically, does 90° squaring and dual grade. It is accurate to ±2.8 mm at 30 m, range of 500m, has an IP rating of IP66 (Dust tight / Protected against powerful jets of water) and a 3-year warranty. It is rechargeable but can also run on alkaline batteries.

I hope this helps.

Best regards

@V8Druid I am so disappointed you could suggest such a thing

Unfortunately, there are no sales planned for the Fukuda range at this time (following Black Friday). Certainly not for the FRE-203XR as it's our best-selling mid-range.

as accurate as any laser on the market ... and pretty well Armageddon proof

Was going to start a thread the other day on Nivcomp. Think @doobin thinks highly of his... I was about to buy one the other day but something put me off them but absolutely no idea what that was now ....

basically a 'Carlos Fandango' water level ... have looked at them and they look pretty good .... but as said -- now't a water level couldn't achieve

I looked at them tother day after you were highlighting the virtues. Clever little things but not much cost saving over a decent laser level. Can't see it's functions (levels around corners and out of line of sight ) benefiting me very much. I'm sure it's got it's uses though.

 

[Storrsy]

So what's a good basic level( not dumpy)? Need one for doing falls when resurfacing unbound car parks and ditching runs where it's not obvious by eye?

Hi,

If you only require single grade (slope in one direction) your best options would be between the Topcon RL-H5A (mm/inch) kit or the Spectra LL300S Kit. They both come with mm/inch Detectors to see the elevation or drop e.g 10mm - 8mm - 5mm - 2mm - LEVEL.

Topcon RL-H5A (mm/inch) Kit

The Topcon RL-H5A is a full self-levelling red beam rotary laser which levels on the horizontal and can do single grade off the keypad. It is accurate to ±1.5 mm at 30 m, a range of 800m and has an IP rating of IP66 (Dust tight / Protected against powerful jets of water) plus a 5 year warranty.

The Topcon RL-H5A Rotating Laser Level Kit With LS-100D Detector / Receiver (Mm / Inch), Tripod & Staff can be seen here:
https://www.laser-level.co.uk/topcon-rl-h5a-ls-100d-rotary-laser-level-with-tripod-staff.html

At time of writing the price is £799.28 inc vat.

Spectra LL300S Kit

The alternative kit to the Topcon RL-H5A is the Spectra LL300S Premium Kit:

The Spectra LL300S Premium Kit is a full self-levelling red beam rotary laser which levels on the horizontal and can do single grade off the keypad. It is accurate to ±1.5 mm at 30 m, a range of 800m and has an IP rating of IP66 (Dust tight / Protected against powerful jets of water) plus a 5 year warranty.

https://www.laser-level.co.uk/ll300s-rotary-laser-spectra-ll300s-premium-kit.html

At time of writing the price is £781.19 inc vat.

I hope this helps.

Get a duel grade for car parks etc, worth paying that bit more if you’re getting a fresh laser anyway.

 

[Laser Levels Online]

Hi,

If you want it dual grade you could go down the route of a configured Spectra LL300N model.

The Spectra LL300N is a premium brand, heavy duty long range ground workers laser.

It is a fully self levelling red beam rotary laser which levels on the horizontal. It is accurate to ±2.2 mm at 30 m, range of 500m, has an IP rating of IP66 (Dust tight / Protected against powerful jets of water) and a 6 year warranty from us. It is rechargeable but can also run on alkaline batteries.

It can set slopes and gradients in both the X & Y axis (dual grade), but you need to add the RC601 remote control to the order to unlock these features.

The direct link for this configuration is:

https://www.laser-level.co.uk/ll300n-rotary-laser-spectra-ll300n-premium-kit.html?config=2-3,6-15

At time of writing including the the RC601 for Gradients and Slopes the cost is £753.58 inc vat.

The Spectra LL300N can also be configured to have the upgraded HL450 Detector (mm / inch scale) to see the elevation or drop on the display e.g 10mm - 8mm - 5mm - 2mm - LEVEL.

The direct link for this configuration with the HL450 Detector (mm / inch scale) and the RC601 Remote for dual grade is:

https://www.laser-level.co.uk/ll300n-rotary-laser-spectra-ll300n-premium-kit.html?config=2-4,6-15

At time of writing the cost of the upgrade kit with the HL450 is £831.57 inc vat.


I hope this helps.

Does the Fukada FRE-203XR not do dual grade?

Does the Fukada FRE-203XR not do dual grade?

Yes, it is definitely a dual grade Laser.

This would also be an option. However, this would not have been my first choice simply picking up on the statement of wanting a "basic level" and obviously the FRE-20XR is a multi-function rotary and has many additional features like Verticals and 90degree squaring which are potentially not needed in this application.

So how come the FRE-20xr is cheaper than the spectra if it has extra features- is the spectra more robust? I'd definitely like digital read out on the detector...

 

[Thomas7740]

I have the fuckuda 203xr and I like it is plenty accurate for general Groundworks and simple enough to set a grade on. 100% for the money
