I guess it is a carboard container from the islands of the outer areas of the Hebridies.
You want to know the contents, don't you?

Noted and understood - thanks both.

I'm not surprised, it's possibly 110V!

To keep you happy.
This was what was in my package yesterday.
You don't need to see the box, it is just a carboard box.
But the contents in the box was this.
Inside of the plastic container was this.

I acquired this Bosch LR-7 receiver to pair with my GLL 3-80 laser level / cross line laser. Bosch Pro deals are really good, I got it for free by registering on Bosch's website and entering the info for my GLL 3-80 (I was lucky, it had to be bought in april this year).

I need a new level...my cheap Screwfix jobbie broke just as I was starting some bloomin tiling this week.
I bought a cheap one because I really couldn't see me needing one very much...turned out I used the bloomin thing all the time.

Their Prodeals are impressively good, aren't they.

Yes is probably is but if you think it's out, before making any adjustments check the underside for dings and burrs which will usually show as shiny spots on the underside right at the edge (which is where it will get damaged if it's going to happen). Set it flat on your surface plate and make sure it doesn't rock. If you have a granite plate, rub it gently and then lift it up and check for any marks it left to indicate a burr. If you find a burr you'll need to carefully stone it with a hard stone.
To check it, set the plate on something solid, level it as best you can, set the level on the plate and find a spot where it reads level. Now block two sides of it with some weights and then spin it round and gently put it against the blocks you set. The blocks are so it goes back in exactly the same place, and not measure discrepancies in the plate or cause the plate to tilt under it's weight. Spin it several times and check if it consistantly reads the same or not. Don't move about on the floor when doing this or it might register the bend in the floor as you move your weight.
BTW that's a 10 second level, i.e. each division is 10 arc seconds or 1/360th of a degree. That's a decent resolution not stupidly fine so the bubble takes ages to settle but sensitive enough for doing lathe levelling etc,

I've not tried adjusting it, but I have been checking it. Not with any degree of great accuracy though, just on the table while having a tea break.
It's certainly not far off, but I need to test it under better conditions.
However, I'm never going to need this to make sure something is level, at least not to 5 hundreths on a MM over a meter!
Wont be using it to hang pictures
I'll probably only use it once, to check twist in my lathe when I set it up, and for that it doesn't really matter if it is reading accurately level anyway does it. As long as it's within the scales and as long as I don't turn it round!
Good tip on checking for burrs, I'll do that. It's in great condition though.
And yes, it really does show the slightest instability in whatever it's placed on!
It's probably going to spend it's life as the workshop equivalent of an office desk toy.
