Sorry for the 'way' off topic.. but there are too many resourcefull people here not to run this by... and I know there are some other CE's around here..

At the GC where i work we are looking to get another lot leveling lasor. ( one of those that sets on a tripod and spins.. and you put your grade sticks around the job and see if you are grade, or need cut/fill. The cheapy non-comercial jobs are about 50$ and only project a laser about 50' I'm looking for a comercial one.. say in the 600' projection range.

Our guys keep leaving them out in the rain, and I just got done fixing one 2 weeks ago.. and now it's back to be fixed again.. when I opened the case.. water poured out.. go figure.

Normally we buy these from a local survey company.. but they are getting sky high. Any other good web resources for survey equipment??

thanks

Believe it or not, I bought the 18v DeWalt setup at Lowes for a few hundred bucks and it works great. I used it to shoot the grade for my pool, pool house, and the levee to my lake. At times I was out 500 feet or more and it still worked. For a relatively inexpensive unit, it sure worked nicely and was right on the money for accuracy.

Thanks for the info. I'm heading into town loater.. I may stop at lowes to write down the specs. So far I've seen as low as 895$ for a semi-auto level, rotating laser system at an online place..

thanks again
