    Default Pls 3 laser holder

    Hello,

    I got a PLS 3 and the holder got bent, and now my laser cannot butt up against a metal track without it being crooked. Is there a place I can only buy the holder?

    I bet if you contact Mike at PLS directly, he'll either have one in stock or tell you where you can get one.

    PLS has excellent customer service as we've come to find out!

    OK, I am going to pull your chain a little here so don't be offended.

    Is there some reason you can't just straighten the one you have now???

    Nothing wrong with buying a new one if you like your tools to look all perfect, but straightening the old one couldn't be that hard unless you completely folded it into a pretzel.

    Dean,

    I tried but it doesn't bend back. I don't know if one of my guys ran it over with a lift or something, but we tried to bend it back and it won't budge.

    When you wrote "cannot butt up against a metal track without it being crooked" I also assumed you were talking about the magnetic L bracket. I can't find a parts page on the PLS web site, how about this....

    Bosch also has a pretty nice stand that comes with their laser, or can be ordered separate. I like it because it has a height positioning gear, little feet that fold out, and magnets on the back like the PLS stand.

    That Bosch mount looks pretty cool. There are also many small camera stands and mounts that can be used with compact laser tools. I have a small flexible mini tripod like the Gorillapod that fits right in the original case with my PLS 180 and it is very handy in some situations.
