I dropped $200 on a laser level for tile work and it was a game changer

Always thought my chalk line and 4 foot level were good enough for setting tile lines, especially on smaller floors. Then I had to do a big diagonal pattern in a kitchen and the laser made it perfect in half the time. The lines stayed straight and visible the whole day, no redusting or smudges. Anyone else find a specific tool that made you stop doing things the old way?

My old boss made me use a chalk line for years on commercial jobs. I finally bought a Bosch laser for a tricky bathroom remodel with a sunken floor. Laying out that first perfect line in thirty seconds felt like cheating. I still have the chalk box, but it just collects dust in the truck now.

Seriously? My chalk box never let me down.

My neighbor still uses a chalk line for his fence posts. Swears it's more accurate than his kid's laser level.

Spent $200 on a laser? That's wild.
