A Class 2 laser is not a skin or materials burn hazard, which is a plus on a job site with a lot of flammable combustible around. We tested all four lasers for accuracy at 30-feet confirming both their plumb and level lines with a Stabilia level that was also checked for accuracy prior to this test. If you are just hanging a single lightweight picture on the wall, you don’t really need a laser level.

Both the laser line, and small LED flashes when the unit is out of plumb. Rotary lasers are used to kick off nearly every professional construction job. Their applications range from grade work , to layout and masonry. Both dual-slope and single-slope rotary lasers are used to continue a desired pitch across a large area. The desired pitch might be level for finding grade or when using a reference line.

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 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.

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.

With such a wide offering, how do you know which one to choose for your job? In this article, we’ll dive into each type of laser and for which applications each is most commonly used. We’ll also outline a few key products offered by DEWALT for each category.
