Dewalt Self Leveling Cross Line Laser
When using the BM3 positioning device and attached to metal objects via magnet the Bosch is not as stable as the Dewalt and Stabila. The laser base, in free-standing mode, has retractable feet to give it additional stability. There is no lock for the laser pendulum, the laser line will flash when out of level or plumb. The The Dewalt DW088CG is rated for drop protection for 1 meter [3-feet] and has an IP54 Rating. Lasers in this rating normally would not harm an eye unless a person deliberately stared into the beam.
The Bosch laser can be locked to allow for the diagonal laser line applications. On the back side is two buttons that independently control the plumb or level lasers. There is also an LED indicator to indicate low battery and pendulum lock conditions. The power switch on the GLL 100 G is a two-position, sliding mechanical switch with a positive registration. Next, use your laser level to cast a beam of light onto the wall where the pictures are to be hung.
This article was written by Michelle Ullman, the tool expert for The Spruce. If you want the tops or bottoms of the pictures to be aligned, you’ll need to measure the distance from the hanging hook or wire on the back of the artwork dewalt accessories to the top or bottom edge. Now measure that distance above or below the beam of light to indicate where you’ll need to place nails. The DEWALT DW089LG is one of the top-of-the-line choices for a commercial grade level.
al and horizontal lines for an accurate measurement in most layouts. The locking pendulum casing offers ample protection to the internal parts while the over-molded design resists shocks. You can use this instrument with a tripod thanks to the integrated 1/4″ thread. Included is the laser itself along with an AA Starter pack, extended ceiling bracket, target card and enhancement glasses. It’s green beam provides enhanced visibility and extended range.
The Stabila LAX300 G is specifically designed for interior construction projects. Stabila uses a technology they call STABILA GREENBEAM. This technology provides for a razor-sharp, extremely bright, laser line. The laser also gives you clear lines from the floor to the ceiling, provides two plum-line dots, and has a laser range is rated 90 feet. The word “laser” is an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. While the science is a bit complicated, basically, that means that lasers emit radiation in the form of visible light.

While there are times that merely eyeballing a straight line is sufficient, when precision counts, you need the help of a level to assure accuracy. And while a simple bubble level is good enough for hanging a picture, you’ll appreciate the benefits of a laser level for larger projects around your home and yard. Circle the entire room with bright red laser light for the ultimate in precision leveling with the Skil 360-Degree Laser Level. Easy to use, versatile, and highly accurate, this is the laser level that suits the tool boxes of DIYers from new to experienced. Combination lasers project both lines and spots simultaneously or independently. These lasers are great for professionals who complete a wide range of projects as they allow the user to switch between lines, spots, or both depending on the job at hand.
The laser also features a manual angle adjustment, so you can rotate the line as needed or finely tune the level on a flat surface. The stable tripod base makes it easy to move the vertical or horizontal laser around as you work. When positioned near corner walls or surfaces, the horizontal laser will reach across both sides, providing a continuous line to work from around the corner. For multiple projects, this level makes transportation easy with a lightweight, 1.2-pound body and sturdy carrying case that will fit everything you need.
Now, measure the length from that midpoint to the hanging wire or bracket on the back of the picture. Finally, use your ruler to find that measurement above the laser beam. The self-leveling feature takes a lot of the guess work out of setting the laser up. Once you have the laser positioned within four degrees of true level, the laser will take over to fine tune the final position. If you need to project something that is skewed, the lock mode will let you position the laser any way you need. Tool Connect™ app via Bluetooth® technology for features including tool tracking, bump notifications, fall and drop indications, and changes in slope and line detection.
Both the laser line, and small LED flashes when the unit is out of plumb. Rotary lasers are used to kick off nearly every professional construction job. Their applications range from grade work , to layout and masonry. Both dual-slope and single-slope rotary lasers are used to continue a desired pitch across a large area. The desired pitch might be level for finding grade or when using a reference line.
