  • No, because the ground is never level unless you are fencing a bowls court. Best off with a Mk1 Eyeball and/or a string line in my book. It might have some use in surveying beforehand to mark out rises per panel for a particularly fussy customer, but I'd say a NivComp is a better all round tool for this sort of work.

    Not sure about fencing ...

    ... I bought a Dewalt Green Beam Cross Line Laser and Receiver (can't see the laser over more than a few metres in sunlight - dector good for 50M) and a grade rod. I bought an Amazon Basics tripod to put it on (which is much better than expected, but not built like a Sherman-tank of course, but it does have a hook to hang a weight on for more stability)

    Used it to get a consistent fall on greenhouse build (the sort where you make a hole for each upright on a checker-board pattern, and then chuck some concrete in for the upright to sit on, and that was what we needed accurate level/fall over 30-ish metres in each direction)

    It certainly worked very well for that job. All-in cost around £300
