I have a simple Bosch w/ a vertical and a horizontal. Both red. No 360 degree planes. Been using it for a few years. It's not super critical at the moment. Just falls into "nice to have, back of my mind" for now.

I'm red green colorblind. Maybe I just have a hard time with red lasers, but I'm really tired of struggling. I was looking at some green lasers.

I was going to upgrade to basically the same design, but green. I.e. no 360 degree. I haven't yet had to do an entire kitchen with 2 or more walls so I'm happy to save a few pennies for the moment. Or maybe one with JUST the horizontal 360 degrees.

Are the green lasers easier to see?

Any brands worth looking at? I am just going w/ Bosch because it's what I know..

I use the same one as you,I haven't had a reason to look for anything different.

I’m in the same boat Andrew. Couldn’t see the red. I gave mine away and picked up a DeWalt DCLE34021B and I’m quite happy with it.

Stabila by a mile. ToolNut has decent pricing and free shipping.

Green lasers are indeed easier to see indoors, IMHO.
