I spent $150 on a fancy laser level for my basement framing and it completely burned me when the batteries died after 20 minutes.
Has anyone found a reliable corded level or a brand that doesn't crap out mid-project?

My buddy had the same thing happen with his laser. He ended up getting a cheap, old-school bubble level on a long board and just used a chalk line for the long runs.

Burning through batteries is just part of the game with tools. A corded level would be a huge hassle, dragging a cord around a dusty basement. That laser probably has a high-output mode that drains power fast, which is why it's so accurate. Maybe check the manual for a lower power setting to make the batteries last longer.
