Good service and easy process
TThicks3 weeks agoGreat service and great laser. Got a 3-axis laser level and after dropping it from the second floor onto concrete one of the glass housings was damaged but the Redback team was super responsive and sorted a replacement part within a few days. Just good service and a good product.
TThomas Andersen3 weeks agoGood product for the price, amazing service, had a problem with my receiver, called and explained the problem, a new one arrived 3 days later in the mail, these guys are the best.....

TTrav Mcmahon3 months agoJack and the crew have been one of the best business to deal with. For three years I've had no issue with their products but when I had a fault they were brilliant to deal with on the phone and had me bask working within days, with was great considering I first call on a Friday afternoon.
RRob Thompson3 months agoThe help i got from Tim and the guys was second to none.....they returned my calls immediately and kept me in the loop looking for what I needed.....my purchase was expressed post so didn't hold me up with construction.....I wouldn't buy laser equipment from anyone else.....thanks guys
JJay Saunders7 months agoRedback lasers sent the product fast which saw me receive the product in no time. I also received a free upgrade to a lr730 which I was stoked about. The LR730 works a treat for getting heights set out precisely
