A good laser level should give you options when trying to keep a surface straight. Different projections and features can make the job easier when you have a high degree of flexibility to use. The Tavool Self-Leveling Laser Level takes the top spot because of the flexibility it offers when your project requires straight lines on flat surfaces.
Spot lasers differ from line lasers in that they project a small circle of light onto the surface your laser is focused on. They are intended for transferring points from one surface to another. This could be for making sure a joist or wall is plumb or to ensure pipes traveling from floor to floor are plumb. Spot lasers are most commonly used for plumbing installation, electrical work, HVAC, and framing applications.
As you can see, DEWALT offers a robust line of lasers including spot, line, combination, and rotary, as well as laser accessories to go with them. With the professional in mind, we will continue to evolve and innovate these products to accommodate needs on the jobsite. Keep checking back to see what new products DEWALT has to offer.
Most laser levels specify their accuracy right on the packaging. If it’s more than ¼-inch deviation at 100 feet, keep on shopping. While vertical and horizontal line guides are extremely useful dewalt Hand tools in most applications, sometimes they still aren’t precise enough for pinpoint accuracy. Under these special circumstances, a point line laser like the Bosch GLL 1P is hard to beat.
The base of the laser has a vertical sliding adjustment allowing micro height adjustments. The laser swivels 360 in its base, and allows laser coverage for approximately 300 degrees on its base – a really nice feature! A metal plate is provided to screw to a wall and allow the laser to slide vertically via its magnets. Lasers are classified for safety purposes based on their potential for causing injury to humans’ eyes and skin.
The Dewalt DW088LG 12-volt laser was by far the BRIGHEST laser both vertically and horizontally, but the laser lines are definitely thicker. This may bother some contractors that are sticklers for super fine lines. The Bosch Smart Pendulum System self-levels and indicates out-of-level condition by flashing the laser line.
