I have a Topcon level, but its manual and I'm looking for something I can use on my own (not have someone fart about with a staff)
Well,dont mean 'the best' as in a Lecia, but whats best for site. What do you use. Or whats the best one you have used?

Rl-h3 level is what i use, simple accurate and dependable. I think even if i needed a new one and there was a better model i would still buy the same one again.

Was looking to pay £200-£300-ish. I'd use it for the odd job or two, not make a packet out of it. So anything over a monkey is out of my (meagre) ballpark. :p

I'm looking for a new one as well, mine got nicked( I had the same one as Tony) for small/medium domestic projects, I can't justify spending the best part of a Grand on one, not when the last I bought, all in with staff, tripod and range finder cost only £500, but I agree, cheap's not usually good, but there must be something suitable. One team of guys we worked alongside were using a Dewalt Laser level, seemed to do the job well, and easy to use single handed, anyone else used one,wortha look?
