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.
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.
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.
The DW088CG is a comparable but less expensive than both the Bosch and the Stabila. It also has an integrated bracket and full time pulse mode which allows the line to be picked up by a line-detector. The DW088CG Cross Line Laser emits a green beam and has a great range that projects bright crossing horizontal and vertical lines.
The IP Code or International Protection Rating, consists of the letters IP followed by two digits. It classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects, dust, accidental contact, and water in electrical enclosures. If you’re aligning your artwork by the midpoint of each picture, you’ll need to measure the height of the artwork and divide by two to come up with its midpoint.
That said, for me, the DeWalt forward facing spot won the day. I carry it in a small bag and the giant case it came in stays in my garage. Regarding the brightness of red versus green lasers, red lasers are most visible in low light conditions. The human eye naturally detects green with dewalt accessories great ease, allowing it to appear brighter in conditions and environments with higher ambient or natural light. A self-leveling laser level automatically adjusts to compensate for slightly uneven surfaces, typically far more accurately than you could manage with your own eyeballs alone.
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.
A laser like this is ideal for various leveling and layout applications, such as, drop ceilings, cabinets, remodeling and tile work. If you frequently work on professional projects, you can save a lot of headache with a commercial-grade tool. The DEWALT DW089LG is one of the top-of-the-line choices for a commercial-grade level. For the price, you will get three separate 360-degree line lasers that are capable of filling an entire room with three line guides. The laser light is green, which can be up to four times brighter than the typical red lights midrange and budget options produce. Use this tool to layout suspended ceiling grids, walls and partitions, and to level cabinets, shelving, floors and soffits.
