Bought a $70 laser level, the cheap one it replaced was better
Picked up a name brand rotary laser at the tool store last Tuesday. Figured the extra cash meant better accuracy. First job on a deck in Tacoma, the thing kept drifting. Repo'd my old $40 self-leveling cross line out of the truck and it was dead on. Returned the fancy one today. Anyone else find the budget stuff holds up better for regular framing?

Did you check if the rotary was actually set up right on that deck, like was the tripod on solid ground? A lot of those pricier rotaries are way more finicky about level surfaces and vibration than a simple cross line. Curious if the drift was the tool's fault or just how sensitive it was.
