Spotted a cool framing trick at a hardware store demo in Denver

I stopped by a local hardware store in Denver last Saturday for some sandpaper and caught a framing demo out back. The guy was showing how to use a 4-foot level and a laser together to get walls perfectly plumb in under 5 minutes. He nailed a 12-foot wall in one shot without pulling out a string line or checking twice. I've been framing for 8 years and never thought to pair those tools like that. Anyone else catch a random demo that changed how you work?

That laser trick probably saved him 3 minutes of rechecking.

Yeah, 3 minutes of rechecking or 3 hours of explaining to your boss why you missed something. Totally worth the risk if you ask me. Worst case scenario it fails and you just say the laser was off.
