Dewalt Dw083k Electronic Self
It constantly monitors the laser’s temperature so the diodes are always driven to maximum line visibility, while protecting the laser diodes from overheating. This laser has a working range of 165 ft with a detector and a 65 ft visible dewalt accessories working range. One switch is for a level line and the other is for the plumb line. The battery compartment is located on the lower rear of the unit. A simple, easy to pull down tab exposed a gasket protected battery compartment.
I have other 12-volt Dewalt tools which allow me the option of using my other 12-volt batteries, if needed. The cleanest, thinnest line was the Stabila LAX300 G. This is the line that will give you the MOST ACCURATE indication. Second to the Stabila, was the Bosch GLL 100 G laser which was also very clean. The Dewalt lines were super bright, thick and a bit fuzzy.
A Class 2 laser is not a skin or materials burn hazard, which is a plus on a job site with a lot of flammable combustible around. We tested all four lasers for accuracy at 30-feet confirming both their plumb and level lines with a Stabilia level that was also checked for accuracy prior to this test. If you are just hanging a single lightweight picture on the wall, you don’t really need a laser level.
To maximize the versatility of this level, the GLL 1P can be mounted on a variety of surfaces and stands. An adhesive mounting strip is included for mounting it to walls or other objects. The built-in mount can also be screwed to any 1/4-inch tripod stand for larger spaces or projects where you may need to move the laser around. The level is light enough to be handled manually when using the bubble levels or tape measure.
This is a must-have feature if you expect to use the tool frequently, or in less-than-ideal settings. The Tavool Self-Leveling Laser Level is our top choice thanks to its ease of use in creating precise laser lines on both horizontal and vertical planes. But if you need a laser line that circles all four walls of a room, the Skil Self-Leveling 360-Degree Level is your best option, although it’s quite a bit pricier. The self-leveling laser also includes an adjustable tripod that raises to a maximum of 3.5 feet, a USB charging port for the lithium-ion battery, and a soft-sided storage bag. What sets this one apart from the competition is the high quality laser level you get at a budget price point. Inexpensive, and yet still accurate, this level is light enough for easy handling when manually measuring or leveling.
Count on great prices, fast shipping and friendly service every time you order a dewalt dw0882 from Zoro. This matters when setting right angles in bright conditions. Without a forward dot you may need a detector to get your second point. In the pic above I’m standing below dewalt Hand tools the grade rod and could easily see the DeWalt spot at 130′ and 11′ 5 1/4” off the ground. The Makita spot was also readable, but the DeWalt dot was smaller and brighter, smaller is better. Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly.
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.
The forward projection does just what it sounds like, it projects a line directly onto the surface where the laser is pointed. Similarly, the 360 projection will project a line 360 degrees surrounding the laser. For example, when using a line laser in a room, the forward projection would provide you with a line on one wall whereas the 360 would project that line on all four walls of the room.
All of the lasers, with the exception of the Stabila come in hard cases. The Stabila come with a soft nylon Velcro enclosed bag and offered the LEAST protection. The tool has a working range up to 100 Ft., and it offers an accuracy of ±1/8 In. The LAX300 G is designed to be placed on the floor, mount on a tri-pod, or can be attached to receive ¼”-20 thread. The rear of the laser also has magnets for mounting on metallic objects and round pipe. There are also inlets on the base that would allow a strap to be threaded around a pole or object.
