laser Level apps and tools

[Davy Crockett]

Iv'e been racking my brain and AI's too, trying to come up with an inexpensive way to finish grade a lot . I bought a cheap laser level that I was hoping would work but it's worthless outside . I could get an elevation app on my phone but from what I gather they arn't accurate. Has anyone used a cheap lasers with a receiver ? or know how far they actually carry a signal ? I hate to drop $ 150 for another el cheapo that won't work. I hate the thought of string level, plus I'll need it in an area where string won't work.

They want $ 75- $ 100 a day so I kept looking , I expected them to be way lower than that. Used to be able to rent a water truck or a mini ex for that . The price of things sure are going up .

Check pawn shops in your area they may have one - most likely stolen but should be reasonably priced.


Or rent - one person operation, set it up and pound a few stakes to grade to, all grades set in less then a day

Problem is I'd need it again a couple more times plus driving 100 miles to a place that has one.

I was hoping my phone would work but it sounds like that's not going to work. Now, what I'm hoping for is a receiver that I could mount on my dozer blade and use my wireless back up camera to watch the monitor inside the cab. the two things that could go wrong is the signal won't reach or if I use a camera and monitor on the receiver the picture might come out goofy and hard to read.
