Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)For thirty years I have been a General Contractor. This is the third (tool box) laser I have brought to hopefully make my life easier, yet I have not found any of these small units to be as advertised. (I say "tool box" because I do own some very expensive "large" self leveling laser units for excavation and construction that are very good)
AUTO leveling! FAT CHANCE! Not even close. Yes, it does have a sight gage in the front that gives you "an indication" of where level might be.
This too was very poorly designed. HARD TO READ. There is no actual mark to show THE LEVEL POINT or really where you are on the gage, only a series of hash marks. These marks are not balanced from one side to the other either. (There is an odd downward line intersecting the gage at 14 degrees right, which serves no purpose. This may be a manufacturing flaw, if so strike three.) You are left to guess where in these hash marks you should place this very poorly designed alignment mark to be set at level. As this mark is not within the gage itself, it is totally subjective.
I found I still had to measure the distance to the floor in several locations to see how level I was, and I wasn't! (This only works if the floor is level.)
ANGLE PRO, MAYBE! An angle is what you get! Look elsewhere. This is a waste.
The mounting pin is a problem to keep out to mount it and has no relevance to the laser height you are trying to achieve. I had thought maybe its pendulum style mount would work as a plumb-bob to level it but no such luck!
