highest quality laser

Accuracy is great and visible

Really good. Like it

Overall, it's a laser level. Mount it on a tripod, you get a level cross. I really like that you can lock the level in place- there are plenty of times that you'd like to work on something that's supposed to be out of level (railings, mounting pictures down a staircase, etc...), and this is perfect for that.I had the DeWalt equivalent of this laser (DW088K), but had to replace it due to it getting stolen. Compared to that, this has a dimmer light and just feels cheaper and less solid. The case is twice the size it needs to be, and has an insert to fit the stuff instead of being molded specifically for the laser. I'm glad this is for homegamer use- if I was doing stuff semi professionally and knew my stuff would get bumped and thrown around, I'd grab the DeWalt.

I can't believe it took me this long to get one of these... sure it's expensive, but it's sooooo handy. For drywall, I hit the stud 90+% of the time running in screws... now it's 100% since I can swivel this over stud to stud and run the screws on the line and NEVER miss. My cabinets use a mounting rail... I made a single reference mark on one side of the kitchen at the desired height, and this shot a line over all three walls (try that with your chalk box!). The rails are all on a perfect level, cabinets all line up at the right elevation, and when I turn the laser off, the "chalk" magically disappears (no mess! haha). I also used it to do cutout layouts on the backs of the cabinets. I measured the offsets for the penetrations, and then transferred the X and Y coordinates to the boxes. I positioned the laser to get the intersections of these marks to drill the holes and then used an oscillating saw (and hole saw for rounds) to "connect the dots"

Since my kids grew up and moved out, it seems I'm always short on a second set of hands to snap a chalk line. No need anymore, as this tool works great and casts a bright line. I've used both the plumb and level lines. You need to manually position it within 4 degrees of level/plumb, and it automatically levels itself beyond that point. The laser flashes until you're within that range of 4 degrees, so it's pretty easy to get it set up. I hung it on an end wall to get a line for installing a ceiling tile grid, and it threw a line on the other three walls and even extended a bit onto the wall it was hanging on. The magnetic bracket is powerful. I put it on some galvanized ductwork, and it held firmly. I've only used it indoors. My guess is that it probably is not bright enough for outdoor use, if you have such a need. I haven't used many other laser levels, and this is the first one I've personally owned, so I don't have a good point for comparison. But for my uses, this has proven to be a great investment.

Great choice for the homeowner for a reasonable price. Works well

I have an old laser level. It's been three years and one would think that the technology has pretty much stayed the same. I was wrong.The improvement between my old laser level and this one is dramatic. I put them both on a stand and this one is easily twice as bright. Also, the dispersion of the beam is much greater. This one will cover almost 180° in a room. My other one did not cover that large an area.Also, this one has a self-leveling feature which is very convenient. It will let you know when you are within the parameters of the self-leveling system.For both vertical and horizontal laser lines, this one is great. It comes with its own case which is very convenient and nice and keeps it clean and handy.I read other reviews and looked at other products. I'm glad I chose this one
