Reviews
"I have two matching shelves on both sides of a credenza and I had to have the anchors (giant hook eyes) level across the whole wall, and this laser was PERFECT for that. I had done the first bookshelf before getting the matching one, and BEFORE getting this laser - and I ended up drilling and anchoring only for it to somehow still be uneven (because walls are never perfect) and ended up having to spackle all and do it over and over again. By the time I got the second shelf, I had this laser, and it took maybe 45 minutes altogether (I had to paint the anchors gold to match the chains - I'll add some pictures someday, I'm sure I'm not doing a great job describing it)."
"Nothing annoys me more than a review by someone who has just received their product and has not used it yet or has not used it long enough to give a well-tested review."
"You can turn on each laser line individually as well as switch between auto leveling or a manual "fixed" mode."
"Great product at a great price!"
"Three laser modes for a horizontal line, vertical and both at once."
"It will clamp to just about anything so on my project I needed a hight well above a standard camera tridod so I used a 8' ladder."
"This is a great little laser level."
"I've only had this a few weeks, but am in the middle of a major renovation project and have used it a ton."

"Its Laser beam system certainly helps in doing a professional job all the time."
"Really neat and useful tool."
"This is one of the few times where I actually got more than I expected!"
"Looks like it'll work well - but came with a screwdriver to replace the battery (screw is incredibly tiny) but screwdriver doesn't have any grooves (so it wasn't finished) and therefore doesn't work."
"Laser was a bit off on mine, but was able to gently adjust."
"I purchased a Bosch GLL1P at the same time and have already had to return the Bosch due to laser line not extending out properly."
"I would have rather it had a bulls eye level for the horizontal line level adjustment."
