yeah its pretty hard to get new help to pull hard without fear of breaking the tool, coincidentally the beam width of a laser will increase over long distance, similar to line slack sagging over long distance.

The DeWalt that I've been using recently had a bright green line pencil thin, in the sun, easily ten meters from the device. That's far enough to do an entire patio - ten meters in each direction. I don't know about longer needs, such as sidewalks, but for building construction the DeWalt was excellent.
I've never tried other brands.
the really serious guys use GPS based equipment, and its serious stuff, being able to center up on a 1/64 inch brad tacked into the asphalt.
[that 50,000$ ufo on a tripod by the highway, dont try to steal one, man do they ever know exactly where they are]
yeah i like team yellow too :) the beam spread is what you want to check out if your serious about > 100 ft distance
