Just realized that cheap laser level I almost returned actually holds up on long cabinet runs
I picked up a $40 laser level from a big box store in Fort Worth about 3 months ago, mostly because my old bubble level was driving me nuts on a 12 foot run of upper cabinets. First day using it, the beam looked fuzzy and I figured it was junk, so I tossed it back in the case and didn't touch it for two weeks. Then a buddy said to check if the tripod mount was loose, and sure enough the little screw was backing out just enough to throw the line off by an eighth over 10 feet. Tightened it down, put fresh batteries in, and I've used it on 6 cabinet installs since with no problems. It's not a $400 unit, but for setting uppers and checking toe kick lines it's been dead on. Curious if anyone else has a cheap tool that turned out better than expected once you fixed one dumb little thing.
