Great (and amusing!) review Aiden 🙂 I've got an old Orient LP412 cross line laser with plumb bob spot. I think most were red back then, so not that bright, but good with a detector.
Yeah it's easier and cheaper to produce a red laser, which explains why they were more prominent in the past. I've always struggled with Plumb bobs and the poxy string 😂 with these 3x360 lasers you get the benefit of them crossing so you can use it as a Plumb Bob, that'll definitely be handy!
@@AJLintern on my analytics there's a section that tells me where traffic has come from. I noticed it said piston heads so I googled piston heads huepar and found it 😁
Any good for outside use? My old faithful Stanley red has been great inside but with a new building planned I need something for my brick garage build for walls and roof setting out..
Green is better for outdoors over red that's for sure. I tested it against a wall earlier that was in the shade and could see the laser when it was about 10m away. If it's in direct sunlight outside including the wall then you'll struggle over 3m. Apparently it's easier to see if you wear green goggles, although it's probably better to just get a receiver
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT yeah, think I’ll keep looking for one with a receiver. As always I’m torn between getting a more ‘pro’ tool second hand or something like this new..
@@ricolaracing haha that's the same predicament I was in, but I eventually decided I didn't want to get a second hand one that may have been bashed and dropped a million times. I decided which one I was going to buy from Huepar and it was just chance they offered me that exact model! They do have combo kits on their website which have a laser and receiver. Or you can just add on a receiver to whatever model you want. For the model I have you can add a receiver for £45 extra.
Cheers, interesting video. I've just found you thanks to @RagnBoneBrown mentioning you in a video. Just to check how it performs outside, I know you quickly covered it but thought I'd just ask for clarification. I've got some outdoor projects over ~15m do you think the laser is visible in full sun over that distance? I've got an old stanley cubix which is ok for indoor projects but hopeless over any significant distance or in bright light.
Hey Tom 👋 I'm not sure any laser would be visible over that distance in the sun (to the naked eye at least). You would need to get a receiver. I don't have one from Huepar but I asked Leo from Hand-I-craft if he could do a quick demo on his channel. Head over there and subscribe (we all know eachother 😂). He said he should get the video out next week 👍
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT amazing thank you 😁. I've just subscribed. I've got a 10x7m oak framed car port to make so I need something to make sure the foundations are level. Should be a fun project 😁
I have a cheapo Screwfix one, just a cross line red light laser. Works OK indoors but outside it's totally useless. I was tempted to get on of those floor to ceiling poles but my goodness they are rather pricey for what they are. I just use a mini camera tripod or my actual camera tripod with it (unless I can just sit it on something). I'd really like one of these multi line things that can go all round a room but can't really justify the cost for the number of times I'd use it. One day!!
I looked at them poles a few weeks back but then considering my ceiling height and pitch I decided it would be a waste 😂 when I bought my original bosch I thought it was really expensive and didn't think I'd use it much but it has come in handy many times and I've had it about 7 years maybe. I'd like to think of it this way, £200 for a tool might be alot upfront if you don't use it all the time but in 10 years time you will probably still have it and it's only really cost you 20 quid a year 😁
I read somewhere that the huepar units with these types of batteries can accept DeWalt batteries, albeit with some convincing... If this is true, I imagine fitment was not by coincidence, but absolutely love the idea if true. Can anyone confirm this? SO willing to buy one if I don't have to worry about cheap proprietary batteries dying and no longer produced a year from now
They look very similar but the huepar ones are smaller. The pins don't like up. It may be worth looking to see there is an adapter though? I'd say if there is an adapter then the DeWalt battery may block part of the top laser though 🤷
Cone Fidence.....I almost laughed!
Great video. Nice bit of kit. No excuses now for wonky flooring....may the farce be with you!
I used AI to help with that joke 😂
Thank you very much for your thoughtful evaluation and sharing!
You've given me the conefidence to go ahead and purchase one 👍🤣
Brilliant video and explanation 👍🏻
Useful review, cheers. I want one.
You should buy one 😉😁

Thanks for trying to push some traffic here and posting on piston heads 🙌👍 appreciate it
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT No probs! How did you know I'd posted on there? :)

Do you know if a DeWalt battery fits it?
Someone mentioned that it's the same size as the DeWalt 12v battery. So maybe? You might need to take a little bit of plastic off or something

Dewalt 10.8v will fit on it,but not 18V ones
Nice one boss, just brought one of these. 👍
Awesome 🙌
