Always thought those laser levels were a gimmick for brickwork

My foreman made me use one on a big chimney rebuild in Milwaukee. The speed and perfect plumb lines changed my mind fast. Anyone else switch from string lines to lasers for certain jobs?

Same here, total game changer.

Actually it's more of a tweak than a full change, but yeah it helps.

Set the laser up right and check it twice before you start laying block, cause a quarter inch off at the base becomes a real headache halfway up the wall. Also make sure you're working on a solid tripod, not some flimsy thing that'll wiggle in a breeze. Once you get the hang of transferring reference points around corners, you'll never go back to pulling string on tall stuff.
