Dewalt Lasers And Levels
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 dewalt tools 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.
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.
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.
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.
