Bosch Quigo Cross Line Laser Level

Simple on-off operation with the front slide means even a dullard like me can use it! Works well indoors even in bright daylight, and produces a clear, level 'cross' line. The laser 'cross' produced measures in excess of 2m wide/high at a distance of 2m or so, so should be suitable for most projects. At any distance the laser line produced will be about 1 - 2 mm wide, so if you want an ultra accurate line, this may not be the product for you. Place it on a level floor or surface and a single straight line will be produced from the box along the floor in-front. Tip the box more than 5 degrees, and a light will flash a warning telling you you are no longer showing a level line. Useful though if you wish to mark out any angled line on your wall - such as for a bannister.In short, I found it really useful for wallpapering, and putting up dado rails. Far quicker and more convenient than plumb lines and spirit levels, and given the price of a 1- Metre spirit rule, this clever little box wasn't that much more expensive either! Money well spent.

Used this for tiling a bathroom. Perfect for ensuring you have a level datum line all the way round the room - no 2 cm offset like I was getting with the spirit level. Also perfect for ensuring the alignment of tiles around the window frame appears square and level (there was 1cm offset between left and right which explains why the old tiles became narrower at one end as they tried to follow the frame). I have a proper tripod but I found it just as convenient to attach it to the door, step ladders or a board using the included easy to adjust clamp. Because it's so easy to use I did a lot of double checking (measure twice - cut once) - because it is so handy/easy to set up. I will be using this for many other jobs around the house in future.

This is pretty good. I hadn't been aware that it needed to be within 4 degrees of horizontal in order to project a level line (I had stupidly assumed I could happily clamp it to a chair and project a level line up near the ceiling) so for those of you that are a bit slow like me - be aware that you will need to clamp it to a step ladder balanced on 2 plastic boxes, balanced on a coffee table which is shimmed up by several copies of random books in order to get a level line up near the ceiling.Aside from that - this is actually really useful and I have used it far more than I thought I would.

I don't know how people manage without. My application has been a large wet room fully wall tiled ceiling to floor each wall with a hand made hand painted picture tile border edged by rail tiles half way up. And we chose to mount the field tiles diagonally!! Yes corners upwards. Quigo made it possible to set the lines and then to follow them exactly during laying - it was so easy. Forget the pictures of the man bravely trying to align his straight edge with a wobbly plumb bob. You aim the Quigo's vertical line at the tile below and press the above tile into place - yes what a great idea, you can actually see your setting-out line instead of it being hidden behind the adhesive. And I have several levels of lathes, the base and the bottom and top of the picture border. Again set the quigo at the right height and just follow it round.I am a perfectionist and I checked the quigo lines with a real top accurate spirit level. They were remarkably accurate. However, first pass trying to extend the base lathe 360 degrees my quigo lines didn't meet by about 4mm which is too much - the spirit level does better than that. Rightly it wrongly I put it down to this. First time round I just slapped the quigo in the middle of the room and lined an entire wall in one go. Then turned it 90 degrees and took the line from the end of the just done wall ( you have to realign because your mounting height can move a mm or so when moving the mount. After that I set shorter lines (say half a wall) with the quigo mounted at right angles to the middle of the line and got perfect results - I don't know whether quigo wanders by a mm or so at its extremes? Finally the mounting grasp that comes with it works well - I stuck it on thee frame of a mini step ladder. If you intend to work all day with it on, get in some spare batteries, I'm not saying it's hungry but it is really annoying when it runs out after the shops are shut. Happy quigo tiling is what I say :-)

This has been a very useful instrument while I have been installing my new kitchen. My old kitchen units and tiles were all uneven and messy looking, but the horizontal and vertical lines provided by this laser lighting have allowed me to install the new cabinets and tiles in perfectly straight lines along the full length of the kitchen.Because this can be rotated and a light level obtained around all the walls, provision can be made beforehand for any floor uneveness, and also wall cupboards on both sides of the kitchen can be installed at exactly the same height. I have slight colour blindness so in a bright room I sometimes find it difficult to see the red laser line, but in the evening time I can see it clearly and use it this way to then mark the walls with pencil lines for daylight work. Would recommend it without hesitation for any DIY work around the house.

I'm a bit of a gadget geek so decided to get this. In reality you're really restricted in when you can use it. The issue is that the device needs to be at the same level it's projecting, it doesn't project upwards and then self level. As others have said the device needs to be pretty much level itself in order to produce a calibrated level line.It's had less use than expected because of this limitations, but when I've used it it's been great. I certainly wouldn't buy this again due to cost/benefit for the use I've required so far.

Très bon produit pour le bricoleur voir plusTrès satisfait petit mais pratiqueMise à niveau automatique tout pour un travail soignéTiq

Es cierto que si hay mucha luz no se ve la línea, pero la idea no era trabajar a pleno sol, realmente como herramienta es muy practica, la rosca es adapta a la de cualquier trípode standard y con el accesorio que incluye puedes incluso usarlo sin trípode. sin duda una gran inversión.
