laser

Bought a laser today. It is a spectra LL400. It has a remote, amagnet to mount on my equipment, 1600' range, and slope adjustment. 1700$. I was using the crap that you can buy at home depot. Damn thing broke, the liquid emptied out of theleveler. Does that stuff freeze?

Don't think it should.

What are the most popular brands of lasers? Also what features make them more popular than the others. Good features vs not so good features.

I have a LB-2 that I bought in "86", had the eternal bat. replaced about 7 yrs. ago. Great lazer, I guess you can just say they don't make them like they use to. If I remember right it cost about 1800.00 at the time, also bought the remote at the time but it had to be hard wired to the machine it was a real pain. Since then I bought a magnetic wireless sensor for it. Works great! The newer lasers are ok, prices have really come down, bought one a couple of yrs. ago for the other truck, just don't see it holding up as well as the LB-2 has. To light duty.

We have 3 AGL lasers.

2 of them are rotational level lasers that cost $1500 and the other one is a pipe laser that we got for $4,800.
