That laser level I swore was a gimmick back in 2008 now sits in my daily kit right next to my hard hat
My old foreman Ron told me lasers were for carpenters who couldn't read a chalk line, but after fighting pipe shadows on a 40-story job in Chicago last month I finally caved and bought one. Has anyone else had an older guy talk you into trying something you hated for years?

Had a buddy swear by his old bubble level for years until he spent a whole afternoon snapping chalk lines in a parking garage that kept getting washed away by rain. He bought a laser the next morning. What finally made you pick one up?

Oh man, that story hits close to home. I spent like two hours trying to level a shed foundation with a bubble level and it kept getting knocked off by wind. By the time I was done, I had red marks on my hands from gripping it so hard. Switched to a laser level the next day and it cut the job down to like 20 minutes, no joke. Never going back, those things are a lifesaver.
