The DEWALT DW073 Cordless Rotary Laser provides an effective way to work faster, smarter and much more precisely on a wide variety of layout and installation jobs. The 360-degree manual-leveling laser system is dewalt Hand tools accurate to within -1/4 -inch per 100 ft., and has dual side-by-side laser diodes for an extremely bright, visible beam. The unit comes calibrated and ready to work, with an indoor visibility range of 200 ft.
Set atop a 5′ tripod the DeWalt, right, needs to be about 10′ away from a wall for the vertical line to run floor to ceiling. Here it’s about 8′ away and the line still doesn’t hit the floor. The Makita, left, on a 5′ tripod not only hits the floor but comes to within 3′ of the tripod base. But working in small rooms on a tripod is easier with the Makita. The Dewalt DW088LG 12-volt laser uses a T-Stak box, thus giving it the “best case award.” Second was the Bosch case, which resembles their older jig saw cases.
) Extending the operating range of most lasers to over 1000′. 100% waterproof design – when it’s dropped in concrete, hose it off! We attain particular and niche demand of the industry while stabilize the quantum of standard with specified time and trace crucial movement at both the domestic and universal levels.
We recently took a sample of three industry leading tool companies, and compared their entry-level lasers. The body is light enough to easily be handled when manually measuring or leveling. The tape measure comes with both metric and imperial markings. The triple positioned bubble level is a great addition if you want to double check your leveling work after you have finished. There are several types of laser levels, so we did the research for you, and then narrowed the choices down to the ones best suited to average and more advanced DIYer. There are two types of projections, a forward projection and a 360 projection.
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.
A mechanical slide on the front of the laser locks the pendulum, and the power switch will not operate if the lock is engaged. A fuel gauge near the switches indicate the level of charge in the battery. The laser allows for diagonal placement but blinks twice approximately every 5-seconds. The DEWALT DW088LG 12v Green Cross Line Laser is part of the 12V lithium-ion rechargeable power tool battery platform. This line laser is designed for extra-long run time and the convenience of rechargeable power tool batteries.
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.
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.
