I had this end of last year on a big warehouse fit out helping a customer, got lots of complaining and odd comments about Dinosaurs from the young lads with there laser until we started the job of straightening up the runs of pallet racks.
Nice simple job of nudging the legs until the chalk line is in the centre of the holes for the legs, then they found their laser isn't much use as once the laser line hits the first upright that's it no laser to shine on the rest of the run.
Us Dinosaurs still have a few tricks up our sleeves.
