Leica Piper 200 The World's Most Versatile Pipe Laser!

I was at one of my construction sights when I saw one of my crew members pick up an expensive looking laser from Leica and stick it securely in a pipe filled with water. I dove head first for the object and yanked it out of the water. I dried it off quickly and turned to my shocked colleague. “What do you think you are doing?” I yelled shaking my wet hand at him, “Do you have any idea how much a machine like this cost?” The crew member just stood there with his mouth hanging open. When he recovered from his shock, he burst out laughing. Exasperated, I turned to one of my colleagues that had watched the whole thing, and found him laughing too. Breathlessly they both explained that the machine that was just stuck into water was the Leica Piper Pipe Laser 200 and that it was one hundred percent water proof.

The Leica Piper series of pipe lasers are made for a wet environment. They are perfect for storm and sanitary sewer construction, gravity flow pipe line and anywhere grade and line is required with a single beam. Whether you have to precisely stake out a construction site, perform control measurements, collect height and angle data, align concrete forms, install ceilings and partitions, lay gravity flow pipe, locate underground services or complete site preparation and earthworks, this machine will provide fast results, keep you working and increase your profitability without having to worry about rainy weather or puddles. The Leica Piper series lasers are well protected and are built with solid cast-aluminum housings. They are loaded with features that will improve productivity and minimize downtime on the jobsite. Powerful and compact, the Leica Piper is the only pipe laser that fits inside a 100 mm (four inch) pipe.

It is ideal anywhere line and grade is required. It has a large clear display that makes it easier for contractors to read grade, line position, battery status, and level indication. The intelligent battery monitors the amount of charge/discharge so that contractors always know how much battery life they have left.

Spectra Precision Laser GL412 and GL422

When I got to the construction site I was leveling and excavating, my partner called in sick. I knew I should have just call it a day but something in the back of my mind knew I just couldn’t waste the time. So I took my precision laser and set off to do the job that requires two people. I leveled my laser, checked the grade and began to work, or rather tried to work.

I wasted so much time running from what I was doing to the laser, to check the grade and level, that I wasn’t getting much done on the site. After two hours of struggling, grunting and running I decided to call it quits. As I drove home I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be brilliant if they made a precision laser that had a receiver and a remote? That way when you are working you can check or change the grade from where you are. I thought I was a genius for thinking up that idea.
When I got home I sat on my deck for a little longer daydreaming about the functions I would put in this laser. I called my friend and explained to him my brilliant idea in details. And he started laughing. He laughed so hard I heard the phone drop on his end. When he finally pulled himself together he told me that Spectra makes the exact machine I just described and “thought up”. I went online to TigerSupplies.com to double check that he wasn’t pulling my leg.

Boy was I embarrassed. Tigersupplies.com carried it. Here I was bragging about my brilliance and this idea has been around for years and has been perfected into the Spectra Precision Laser GL412 or the GL422.

The Spectra Precision Laser GL412 (single grade) and GL422 (dual grade) transmitters are cost effective, automatic self-leveling lasers that do three jobs—level, grade and vertical alignment with plumb. Both the GL412 and GL422 feature a 2-way, remote control with a built-in back-lit grade display. You can do everything with the remote control that you can do at the laser keypad, including grade reverse on both axes, up to 330 ft away from the laser. The ability to make grade changes from anywhere on the job greatly reduces setup time and speeds operation, especially when multiple job grade breaks are needed.

Additionally, the Spectra GL412 and GL422 Grade Lasers self-plumb in the vertical position, to allow an even wider range of applications such as anchor bolt installation, plus form, tilt up and curtain wall plumbing. Both units also incorporate automatic temperature and grade compensation for high accuracy in any weather or geographical location.

On both models, the laser beam can be turned off electronically on up to 3 sides of your choice. This capability eliminates interference with other crews on the job site by keeping the beam from straying into other work areas.

The Spectra GL422 offers two additional advanced features: pointing mode for “Over the Top” pipe laying applications and grade match where the laser can be used to measure the existing grade value between two known elevation points. Use this versatile laser with a Spectra Precision Laser HL700 Laserometer at an operating diameter up to 800 m (2,600 ft), or use it with the CR600 machine-mounted laser receiver for fast and easy machine control display.

Spectra Precision Laser HL700 Laserometer
The Spectra Precision Laser HL700 Laserometer uses new technology to measure and display beam location and is ideal for use with the GL family of transmitters. The HL700 features a digital readout of elevation that shows exactly how far you are from on-grade allowing quick elevation checks without moving the rod clamp. The large 127 mm (5 inch) reception height speeds up beam pickup in grade match and alignment applications. An anti-strobe sensor stops construction lights from setting off the receiver, and makes it easier to identify true laser beam signals. The protective over molded housing withstands a drop of 3 m (10 ft) onto concrete. The highly visible LED display and dual sided LCD’s allow you to work anywhere.


Spectra Precision Laser CR600 Receiver
Another receiver option is the Spectra Precision Laser CR600 Receiver. In addition to use as a handheld and rod-mounted receiver, the CR600 can be used as a machine control mounted receiver with 270-degree reception and a highly visible
display for use on a backhoe, small excavator or skid steer. Rugged, accurate and easy to use, the CR600 provides high, low or on-grade information for all your grading and excavation applications.

360 Degree Site Display Machine Control Receiver with MD360R Wireless Remote Cab Display

I run a very safe working environment, when I operate construction sights. I double check on every possible danger before I allow my team to enter the site and work. Even with all the extra trouble I go through to prevent and hinder accidents, they still occur.

One of the members of my team was lightly injured the other day, when checking the grade on a job site. He had walked over to one of the lasers to have a look at the grade level and to make sure everything was running smoothly. The driver of the crane did not see the fellow walk across the sight, so he went on digging. And when he pulled the crane up to check on the level himself he saw the other guy standing there. But it was too late the crane had already flung the dirt and rocks in his direction. My colleague stumbled and hit the ground hard. He ended up in the hospital for a couple of days while they monitored his health. There was no permanent or lasting damage.

This got me thinking. I have a very safe work environment and yet one of my workers still got hurt. I had just bought a Pipe Locator the other week to ensure the safety of my team, was there anything else I was missing? I searched the web and found exactly what I was missing.

I found the AGATEC 11-0348. It is a MR360R Machine Control Receiver with the MD360R Wireless Remote Cab Display. The MR306R is mounted to the machine via rare earth magnets providing stability and accuracy when digging in rough terrain. The MR360R features full 360 degree coverage with a 9.75" capture window allowing user to have coverage virtually everywhere on the job site within 650ft from the laser transmitter. The wireless MD360R provides the operator with an in-cab display of what is showing on the MR360R laser receiver. This allows the operator to continue working from the cab and eliminates the need for co-workers to be in harm's way on the job site to check grade.

The MR360R sensor and the MD360R display communication via radio communication so there are no cables running from the receiver to the display. The MD360R display is also clear so that the operator can see through the display eliminating viewing obstacles in the cab when using the display. MD360R mounts to a machine cab via suction cup mount and is powered by machine's 12V source. It also has a 5 degree plumb indicator which ensures user of plumb when checking grade. Wireless radio cab display allows user to see grade results from the cab of the machine providing quick response time to grade changes.

In addition it offers accurate grade control information for all visual machine control applications. The large 360 degree detection windows pick up any rotating laser from any angle and ensure coverage on any job site. The MR360R's built in vertical indicator monitors angle of the excavator dipper stick, signaling if it is plumb or under or over extended. The MR360R receiver has a plumb LED indicator to indicate plumb. LED indicators show position of the cutting edge in relation to the laser reference beam. The MR360R's memory stores the last signal received and LED arrows will indicate which direction to move to get back in contact with laser reference beam.

Sokkia LP30A Construction Laser Level Planer

The Stadium that was contracted to my company to be built was going to a huge project. The architects spent months on the design of the stadium and finally released the plans over to the contractors. I called my team together for a meeting to discuss and decide what tools we would need in order to complete the project. As we started listing the items, one of my co-workers announced that we need the Sokkia LP30A Construction Laser Level Planer.

I have never heard of the item and asked him what exactly the Sokkia LP30A Construction Laser Level Planer does and why we would need that specific item. So my colleague started to explain that the Sokkia LP30A was an electronically self leveling machine that can be used indoors or outdoors for a wide range of needs in construction, civil engineering and interior finishing.

What I learned was that the Sokkia LP30A employs a precision pendulum compensator to ensure horizontal accuracy. The compensator is activated by gravity and is unaffected by temperature variations. Accurate measurement is therefore possible in a variety of measuring environments. The air damping system ensures laser beam stability even in locations subject to vibration. The reliability and durability of the compensator system has been proven at jobs sites all over the world.

The Sokkia LP30A is also very easy to work. Simply place the LP30A on a tripod or level arm, and set it approximately level. The built-in compensator then automatically sets the horizontal plane and the laser rotor starts revolving immediately. If the unit is tilted or jarred beyond its self-leveling range, the rotation and laser beam stop automatically and a warning lamp flashes.

My colleague continued to clarify that the Sokkia LP30A is a highly water-resistant unit which is protected from splash water from any direction in compliance with IPX4. If caught in a sudden shower, just wipe off the water. The rotor assembly is fully enclosed in a reinforced glass housing protecting it from water and dust.

The Sokkia LP30A also has a variation of power packages. It can be powered by four D (R20) size batteries or a rechargeable Ni-Cd battery. Both models operate for 90 hours with alkaline batteries and 40 hours with Ni-Cd battery BDC39A. The optional AC adapter EDC79 (plus adapter EDC74) enabled use with AC power (1000V to 240V).

The Sokkia LP30A’s rugged design withstands the stresses of construction sites with reinforced glass to protect from water and dust. The instruments’ accuracy and extended battery life offers a higher standard for leveling tools. As my colleague finished listing all the details of the products, I found that I was impressed. I took a vote among the team that was assembled to see if we should purchase the Sokkia LP30A. The vote turned out to be unanimous.

Automatic Level Leica Runner

I was transporting my Automatic Level to a construction site that I was working at, when I hit a bump in the road. The Automatic Level fell off the seat and hit the floor of my truck. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road and picked up the level to see the damage. I wiped it down and quickly looked into the eyepiece. My heart dropped. My trusted level that I have had for several years was done for. There was no way that the damage could be fixed.
I turned my truck around and drove straight home. I could not finish my job on the construction sight without an Automatic Level.

As soon as I got home I turned on the computer and sat down to do some research on the internet. I was looking for a robust, sturdy and reliable Automatic Level. One level kept popping up on all the searches. It was the Leica Runner Automatic Level that comes in a 20X magnification and a 24X magnification.

The Leica Runner Automatic Level kept being described as rugged, tough and accurate. I looked further into it and found that it was designed to work hard on the jobsite, is quick to set up, easy to use and very reliable. The Leica Runner has an automatic compensator and fast, clear optics which speeds up measurements and increases the accuracy. A short drop onto the ground, rain or vibration from heavy machinery will not stop the Leica Runner from working. No time-consuming checking or readjustment required which reduces work downtime, which translates into higher productivity, resulting in higher reliability and accuracy.

The Leica Runner Automatic Level is an ideal tool for daily leveling tasks. The Leica Runner Automatic Level is the ideal Level for site foremen, architects, engineers, surveyors, landscape gardeners, carpenters, construction companies, and many more. The Leica Runner has superior performance at such a great price. That is why I have already ordered mine online and am waiting for the package to arrive.

Spectra Precision Green Beam Interior Construction Laser Horizontal Vertical

Part of my company’s warehouse floor slopes on an angle so that if you tried to put shelves up, they would tilt dangerously. I decided that I was going to level out that part of the warehouse floor. I gathered all the necessary instruments, equipment and supplies that I would need to do the task and started working. I found out quickly that I did not have the right Leveling Laser to do the job.

I was working with a Red Beam Laser and I couldn’t see the beam. The warehouse was too big and well lit for the red beam to shine brightly. Instead of leveling the floor I was making it worse because of the lack of direction from the machine.

Luckily, I work for a company that supplies construction lasers so I started browsing the inventory. One caught my eye. Spectra had just put out a new Green Bream Horizontal/Vertical Laser on the market called the HV301G. I was curious to see if this laser would be any better. I took it off the shelf and set it on the floor to begin working. I held my breath as I flipped the switch to turn the HV301G on. It was incredible! The HV301G green laser beam was easy to see and the superior visibility in such an extended and bright area helped me finish the job faster and more accurately.

The HV301G also has a laser transmitter that sends a continuous, self-leveled 360-degree laser reference over the entire work area. Various rotation speeds and scanning angles allow you to concentrate the laser beam in your work area for optimum visibility. A 90-degree reference beam is included for a wide variety of layout work and point transfer. A 360 degree remote control allows operation of key functions over the jobsite.

The HV301G is also automatically self-leveling in both horizontal and vertical modes which assure accuracy. A height of instrument alert turns the beam off when the elevation of the laser changes or is disturbed. The laser can also be used in the manual leveling mode for slope applications such as matching existing slopes.

The HV301G is rugged enough for the toughest jobsite. Highly durable construction enables the HV301G laser to survive a drop of up to 3 feet onto concrete. It is an incredible Laser!

Topcon Wireless Total Station

On the way home from work, I stopped by a construction sight to visit a friend, who was supervising a project. I was chatting with him when I noticed out of the corner of my eye one of his construction workers using a Total Station and a Data Collector. The gentleman was recording measurements and all was calm. That is, until he walked a couple of feet to get his water bottle.
Then there was chaos. He tripped over a cable that connected the Total Station and the data collector and down he went. Not only did he hit the floor hard but so did the Data Collector. After a few frightening moments of watching the tripod with the Total station on it wobble, it settled back in its place as if nothing happened.
I took one look at my friend’s face and knew it was time to leave. I slipped him my company’s card before I left and told him to call because I knew something that might interest him. I wanted to introduce to him to the Topcon GTS-239W Total Station which combines long prismless measurements with wireless communication between the Total Station and the Data Collector.

Pipe and Cable locators

Cable and Pipe lasers are essential to have on a construction sight. Health and Safety authorities all over the world advise that before undertaking any kind of excavation, operators should first scan an area with a Cable Avoidance Tool. Even with this advice, site workers are still injured and killed due to inadvertently striking buried cables. SubSurface Instruments makes an incredible Pipe and Cable Locator that can avoid these injuries called the PL-2000 Series. With the PL-2000 Series, operators can locate, trace and mark underground services quickly, precisely and reliably prior to excavation.
The PL-2000 Series Pipe and Cable Locator detects power signals and charges. It can locate power signals radiated by energized cables or it can trace signals originating from distant radio transmitters. These radio signals penetrate the ground and are reradiated by buried metallic cables and pipes. It can detect anything that has a signal or charge such as electrical power cables, cable lines, telephone lines, power lines, water lines, tracer lines and anything that had a metallic conductor.
The PL-2000 Series Cable and Pipe Locator offers a new approach in high power, low frequency locating. With three active frequencies (at a nominal 512 Hz, 8kHz, and 27 kHz), two passive frequencies (at the 50/60 cycle flowing AC current, and Radio in the 14 kHz - 25 kHz), four modes of operation, and both inductive and direct connection capabilities, the PL-2000 is powerful and versatile, but still surprisingly easy to use and cost effective.
The four different operating modes that the lightweight, balanced receiver offers are Peak, Null, Dist, and Sonde. Peak mode is for the most accurate locates and for depth measurement. Null mode is for fast, easy tracking. Dist mode is for even longer distances and Sonde mode is for locating sewer Sondes and measuring their depths. The PL-2000 Series is designed to help avoid damage to underground services during excavation, injuries to on site workers, as well as make the job easier and simpler for the personnel.

The NEW Leica D8 IS The most versatile laser distance meter in the world!

If you were impressed by the Leica Disto D5 Handheld Distance Measurer, then you will be astounded by the Leica Disto D8! Think of everything you ever wanted a Distance Handheld Measurer to be and to have... then check out the Leica Disto D8 and be prepared to be amazed at what it can accomplish!

Whether you have to accurately layout a construction site, gather height and angle data, calculate horizontal distances, or measure roof slopes and faced areas, the Leica Disto D8 can help you determine all that quickly and safely.

Equipped with a high resolution 2.4” color display, a digital point finder, Bluetooth technology, and a 360 degree tilt sensor, the Leica Disto D8 opens up completely new measuring possibilities. You can quickly and efficiently determine horizontal distances over the top of obstacles, or the height of a tree, even though it has no reflective points. Roof slopes and facade areas can be safely and rapidly measured from the ground. The Leica Disto D8 is even capable of simple levelling tasks, with out the assistance of a second person.

Measurement results can be transferred wirelessly and without errors from the Leica Disto D8 to pocket-PCs or PCs using the integral Bluetooth technology, where they can be further processed in Excel, AutoCAD or other software.

The Leica Disto D8’s digital Point finder with 4x zoom allows you to point quickly and easily at far off objects, in glaring sunlight too. Even when the laser dot is no longer visible to the naked eye, the target can be clearly seen on the 2.4“ high resolution color display, allowing accurate distance measurements to be made, even over great distances.

You can also use the Leica Disto D8 to calculate Altitude Profiles. All you need to do is measure a known reference mark with the device and then measure from each of the relevant altitude differences. When the measuring points have all been recorded in one direction you can then determine a cross-country profile with the measured horizontal distance and the height difference.

The Leica Disto D8 also has a stake out function. By entering two different distances (A and B) into the Leica Disto D8, they can be used to mark off defined measured lengths. At each measured length, the display shows the current marking distance and a direction arrow. Additionally, an alarm signal starts to ring at a distance of 4 inch from the next stake out point

PLANIX EX Digitizing Coordinate Planimeter

Planimeters are excellent tools to use when you measure irregular shaped areas on plans or drawings. They eliminate the need for grids, charts, or calculations done by hand. Planimeters are used by many in Surveying, Civil Engineering, Cartography, Architecture, Medicine, Clothing Industry, Boat and Ship Design, Office, Store and Plant Planning, and Biology.

Most people I know use the older model Planimeters, known as Mechanical Planimeters. These Mechanical Planimeters work well, work accurately and are usually efficient enough for the job. The only problem is that they are a little bulky and they aren’t so easy to use.

There is another solution! The Planix Ex is a Digitized Planimeter that works quickly, has a smoother operation, is built to last, and allows you measure areas, calculate lengths, coordinates, radii and angles. It also permits you to measure in metric units, inches, feet, yards and acres, as well as other user defined units.

The Planix Ex also has two modes to help with more accurate measurements; the Point mode and the Stream mode. The Point mode allows the user obtain areas and lengths of diagrams with straight lines easily and quickly while the Stream mode should be used for tracing curves on curved lines.

The Planix EX is so easy to use! All you need to do is roll it over the area you would like to calculate and it will give you a digital readout! As simple as that! It also has an automatic closing function, which automatically finishes the measurement when the trace point is returned to the starting point, making measuring easier.

The difference between Pipe and Cable Locators and Magnetic Locators

Most people think that the Pipe and Cable Locator is the same thing as a Magnetic Locator. They are wrong. There is a big difference and you have to be careful that you buy the one that suits your needs best! Each of these locating systems detects different objects underground.

The Pipe and Cable Locators detect power signals and charges. It can locate power signals radiated by energized cables or it can trace signals originating from distant radio transmitters. These radio signals penetrate the ground and are reradiated by buried metallic cables and pipes. Basically it can detect anything that has a signal or charge such as electrical power cables, cable lines, telephone lines, power lines, water lines, tracer lines and anything that had a metallic conductor.

Health and Safety authorities all over the world advise that before undertaking any kind of excavation operators should firstly scan an area with a Cable Avoidance Tool. Even with this advice, site workers are still injured and killed due to inadvertently striking buried cables. Leica makes a fantastic Pipe and Cable Locator that can avoid these injuries called the Leica DIGICAT 100 Buried Service Locator. With the DIGISYSTEM operators can locate, trace and mark underground services quickly, precisely and reliably prior to excavation.

The Leica DIGICAT 100 Buried Service Locator uses the latest in location technology. By introducing an automatic pinpointing facility to accurately locate the cable, always starting up in power mode and at maximum sensitivity the DIGI SYSTEM takes away the need for awkward manual tuning, keeps you safer and locates faster. The DIGICAT 100 unit is designed to help avoid damage to underground services during excavation and is an easy to operate, fully automatic location system with the ability to manually tune if preferred. The Leica DIGI System has an audio and visual display of signal reception; it is waterproof, and designed for tough working conditions.

Now if you are looking for any object that is ferric, iron, lead or steel, you will need a Magnetic Locator. It will detect these objects underground, underwater, or in snow. If you are looking for PK Nails, Iron Pipes, Valve Covers, Masonry Nails, Manhole Covers, Cast Iron Water and Gas Lines, Surveyors Markers, Iron Tanks and any other item that will stick to a magnet you will need a Magnetic Locator.

CST/Berger makes great Magnetic Locators. They have the Magna-Trak MT200 Series Magnetic Locator and the Magna-Trak 100 Series Magnetic Locator. Both these series take technology one step into the future by including a multitude of convenience features you won't find anywhere else, like an LCD visual display and audio tone, a lightweight, easy-grip design, and water resistant cases. Magna-Trak locators also feature easy battery access and outstanding battery life, and they're backed by a 5-7 year warranty! Plus, a patented electronic balancing procedure allows balancing to be done quickly and efficiently.

The Magna-Trak magnetic Locators are also ergonomically designed for complete one-handed operation; so your other hand is free to use other equipment. It also lets you block out interference from a magnetic disturbance (such as a nearby fence).

Before you purchase a Magnetic Locator or a Pipe and Cable Locator remember the difference. A Magnetic Locator is used to detect iron, lead and steel, while a Pipe and Cable Locator is used to detect anything with a charge or signal.

Calculated Industries NEW Prexiso X2 (Model 3350) Laser Distance Meter

I was painting over my daughter’s room yesterday and three quarters of the way through I ran out of paint. “Great,” I thought, “Now I have to run to the store buy another can of paint, make sure it’s the exact color, and take care not to paint it darker than the first three quarters of the room. What a pain!”

It turns out that if I would have used the Prexiso X2 Laser Distance Meter, this never would have happened. The Prexiso X2 can measure walls and ceilings of a room to estimate the paint required. It also has a lot of other functions that would be very valuable to real estate agents, brokers, appraisers, contractors, builders, carpenters, plumbers, interior designers, painters and anyone else who would need accurate measurements.

The Prexiso X2 is a one-person laser measuring tool that can calculate distances, areas and volume. You can measure between sprinkler heads for irrigation, inaccessible areas, and horizontal roof lengths for installing rain gutters. You can also determine where to place electrical receptacles and distances for placement of safety equipment or fence posts. The Prexiso X2 can be used for building and renovating, wallpapering and painting, laying tile and carpeting, and more!

The Prexiso also has the Pythagoras function built in so that you may calculate height, measure two sides of a triangle and even calculate a third! The Prexiso X2 gives you laser accuracy for quick, precise measurements which will save you time and money.

I decided that the next time I paint over a room in my house; I am definitely going to use this device! No more second trips to the store to purchase what I need because the Prexiso X2 will help me determine what supplies I require the first time around!

Ulrich Large Document Product Line

I have a set of flat files in my office for all of my architectural drawings, artwork, and any oversized document that I need. Recently I noticed that the ends of my precious papers started curling and that the folders weren’t enough to keep all my documents organized. I also realized that the flat files take up majority of my floor space, squishing me into a little corner of the room. I got so fed up that I started researching other ways to store my large documents.

I came across a product line called Urlich and was very interested in what they had to offer. They have a huge selection of choices for large document storage. For example they have Planfiles, Minifiles Drawer Files, Pinfiles, Cadfiles and much more!

What is so exceptional about the Urlich product line is that they are vertical files verses the typical horizontal flat files. They can hold more documents in less space than any other filing system, saving you valuable floor space. The unique spring compression system and heavy duty reinforced folders maintains the documents perfectly smooth and flat. It can also be customized to provide filing for different sized documents in one cabinet.

The Urlich’s Files easy operation makes retrieval/filing of a large document effortless. In Flat Files the inherent difficulty in retrieving/filing a single large document which is buried under other documents inevitably leads to documents that are wrinkled, crumpled and sometimes even ripped. The Urlich product line are all waist height so there is no need to get on your hands and knees to reach a drawer at floor level or to stand on a stool for the drawers close to the ceiling.

The Urlich Files have a lid that is controlled by two gas cylinders which prevents accidental slamming and provides smooth opening and closing. It also has a standard lock and double steel walls for extra protection. Most of the Urlich product line are fire resistant, water resistant, movable and can fit through any door way!

It seems to me that the Urlich product line is the best way to store my valuable documents and papers. It has the best protection and security, keeps everything organized and neat and hardly takes up any room!

Leica Roteo 35 The all-in-one Rotating laser

Ever buy a laser that you desperately need and you put your whole project on hold until you receive it? Then when you actually do receive it, it doesn’t do exactly what you need it to do?! It doesn’t rotate the way you want it to or you can’t see it in the glaring sunlight or it’s just not accurate enough? Then you have to go either back online or to a store, buy a new laser and cross your fingers that it will work!

That is why Leica came out with a brand new laser that includes everything you would need for interior and exterior work! On ceilings or walls, on floors or using a tripod, the Leica Roteo 35 rotating laser is a multi-talented performer. You can use it for many tasks where leveling or aligning is required.

The Leica Roteo 35 comes with a remote-controlled wall bracket which can save you a huge amount of work. There is no need to have a second person align the laser – the height of the wall bracket can be quickly adjusted via remote control from the application site. The Leica Roteo 35 is also self-leveling and is always precisely aligned in the horizontal or vertical plane. If the instrument changes position during operation, an alarm will sound, thus preventing errors arising from incorrect alignment.

If you are taking it onto a construction sight there is no need to worry about unexpected knocks or bumps to the Leica Roteo 35. It has a strong aluminum cage that fully protects the sensitive laser head! The cage can be removed so that you may adjust the laser head by hand if necessary. It also is in the protection class of IP54, which means that the Roteo 35 is dust and splash proof!

The Leica Roteo 35 also comes with a receiver so that even in the glaring sunlight you may get an accurate read off of it! The range is up to 300 meters and it has a 50 hour battery use of continuous operation! This way, you will not have to keep running to charge it everyday!


Believe me when I say, that the Leica Roteo 35 is exceptional in every aspect! It works indoors, outdoors, in glaring sunlight, it rotates, the actual laser can be adjusted to slope and it is self leveling! In addition it comes with a remote, a receiver, a wall mount and much, much more! It’s every surveyors and architects dream!

The World’s longest laser range Theodolite

Buying a Theodolite is a big investment and no simple task. To most people it is the most confusing job because they all seem to be boasting the exact same functions and abilities, with just a variation of prices! Most customers are rushed into purchasing a Theodolite that they have little or no idea how to work it, or what it does.

I have gotten quite a number of phone calls from customers who purchased a Theodolite elsewhere, asking if I can email them an instruction manual or if I know how to turn it on! The first time I received a call like that, I couldn’t believe my ears! A customer who invests any money into one of my products can be assured that they will definitely know everything I know about the product, how to use it and benefit from it!

You have to understand, Theodolites are a bit more complicated then your average surveyor’s machine. It will take a little bit longer to know everything there is to know about it, but I promise you will. Take for instance the Sokkia LDT520 5” Laser Digital Theodolite. This instrument has many functions but even though it is pretty simple to work and learn about, it is still a bit more complex then most devices.

To sum it up, Sokkia LDT520 5” Laser Digital Theodolite is equipped with a telescope with laser beam capability, boasts the world’s longest laser range, class-topping dust and water protection, and has a continuous use for 12.5 hours. The LDT520 is designed for directional controls in tunnel excavation, precise marking and alignment in construction and engineering applications.

Sounds a little convoluted, right? Actually, the Sokkia LDT520 5” Laser Digital Theodolite is one of the most user friendly Theodolites! I can explain how to use it easily and quickly! Any questions you have will be answered immediately! You have my word that you will not be making calls to other companies for anything to do with it!

The NEW Leica Disto D5 worth a close look.

I was talking to a friend the other day, who works in the roofing business. He was complaining to me about his old age. “It’s not easy to climb up onto the roof anymore,” he grumbled, “Every time I lean that ladder against the wall and look up, the roof seems to have gotten further away. If only I could save myself a trip up and down.”

If he had complained about this a couple of months ago I would have just given him a sympathetic pat on the back and continued the conversation. But, now I had a solution for him!

Leica had announced that they were coming out with a new Laser Distance Measuring Device, the Disto D5. I was curious as to what new functions the Disto D5 would have so I researched it and what I found astounded me!

The Disto D5 has a new function that no other Laser Distance Measuring Device has! It is called the Trapezium function. It can measure roof slopes and facade areas quickly with just the push of a button! Which means that you can stand on the ground, with the Disto D5 in your hand, shoot it to the roof in a couple of places, and it will come up with an area for you!

I excitedly informed my friend of this new device, and I assured him that it would save him many trips up and down his ladder! He was ecstatic!

“That’s not all!” I explained enthusiastically, “The Disto D5 is a very user friendly tool. It has complex equations that it breaks down for the user into simple answers and measurements. The Disto D5 integrated digital point finder with a 4x zoom and a color display. It makes finding the target at long distances much easier.”

“The Disto D5 also has a built in tilt sensor,” I continued breathlessly. “You can quickly and simply measure slopes up to ± 45°. The tilt sensor also allows you to measure absolutely horizontally or measure past obstructions (horizontal distance). You can also measure up to 100 m without a target plate and up to 200 m using a target plate, without having to take a single step!”

My friend looked at me in amazement. “This device has everything I need!” he said, “I want one and I’m going to buy one!”
