Types Of Laser Levels
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.

Without a forward dot you may need a detector to get your second point. In the pic above I’m standing below 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.
This level can produce a bright horizontal, vertical, or cross line on any surface up to 50 feet away, meaning it can handle most rooms around the home. The Interior and Exterior Rotary Laser Level is accurate to 1/4 inches at 100 feet. It is constructed to withstand rugged jobsite conditions with a durable rotary cage that helps protect the head if dropped. An innovative configuration of multiple thin struts maintains the unit’s strength while eliminating blind spots. The unit is self-leveling in horizontal mode, and in vertical mode, arrow buttons used for manual leveling are more intuitive than traditional knobs.
The level comes with the standard three projection options such as vertical, horizontal, and cross lined. In addition to these, you can also project a single dot or hairline when you need extra accuracy reflected on the surface you are working with. The Stabilia is powered by three AA batteries and has a 15-hour runtime. The power switch is a sliding mechanical switch with a positive registration. It’s has an on or off feature and locks the laser pendulum when placed in the off position. On the opposite of the switch is a multi -function push button switch, that allows the user to cycle through horizontal, or vertical lines.

Dual-slope means that the line will move along both the X axis and Y axis. X mode is used often to “walk” the line in vertical mode for aligning metal track. Y is used to angle the line in horizontal mode for setting slope or setting pitch on a driveway. The big difference between laser lines and laser spots is spots are greatly more visible in bright light and across distance. The Bosch GLL 100 G Green-Beam Self-Leveling Cross-Line Laser uses green-beam technology, and has a working range up to 100 Ft. It includes Bosch-exclusive VisiMax™ technology, which allows for outstanding line visibility in standard working conditions.
The battery configuration is subtly indicated on the battery compartment lid. The DW088CG is powered by three AA batteries, and has an accuracy of +/- 1/8” at 30-feet. The bottom of the laser allows a tripod mount of ¼”-20 threaded insert. The mounting bracket allows the laser to rotate 180 degrees and has two magnets. It can easily sit on the floor, and has an included suspended ceiling grid clamp.
When it comes to the visibility range, it depends on the lighting conditions. In dim, dusk-like conditions, it is possible to see a green beam for over 100 feet. One thing to dewalt accessories keep in mind is that green beams do require more battery power than red beam lasers. This 3 Line Green Laser Level features a green beam for clear visibility on the jobsite.
