Found out my old way to check a laser level was off by a quarter inch over 50 feet
I was setting up for a long run of cabinets in a Denver remodel and kept getting small gaps. My partner said to check the laser against a string line, and sure enough, the self-leveling function had a tiny drift. We verified it with a water level and it was off by that quarter inch over the distance. Now I always do a two-point check before trusting it for layout. Anyone have a favorite method to double-check their lasers?

That's why my old boss swore by a simple plumb bob for long runs.

My grandpa always said a plumb bob never lies, even when your level is off.
