I buy lots of laser plumbs for layout, but have yet to buy a "laser tape". My personal experience is not all laser tools are created equal, and the Stanley line of products are bottom of the barrel, with Dewalt about mid range, and PLS near the top. I am talking side by side comparisons, the Stanley lasers are about half as bright, take twice as long to level.
The Dewalt laser plumbs are about $90, come with a case and seem to last a while, so its hard to justify buying a PLS or a Hilti that does the same thing for 3 times as much. I also have a Dewalt line level, that is ok but my PLS line levels are a lot brighter.
I am thinking about trying the Stanley "Laser Tape" as a cheap estimating tool if its good to the nearest foot it would be good enough for an estimate.
