Questions & Answers

What could I use this for if I want to level the ground for a pool outside, on a tripod? We can only go a maximum of 30 feet away. ?

There is a 1/4" - 6mm standard. There are tripods with 20 threads that fit most cameras. You will probably need to do it in the evening when the light is low so you can better see the laser dot.

Has the magnet a groove in the center for putting it on round pipe? It has a full length and can it be put on round pipe. ?

The level has three small round magnets located in a channel that sits below the surface. There are no V shapes in it.

When you are standing 10 feet away, how big is the dot. ?

My camera is mounted on a ceiling that is 8 feet high The dot can probably be seen about 10 feet away on floors and it might not even be 1/8 inch in diameter.

How does the laser turn off when the tail cap is off?

Would anyone know if there is a way to ask a second Are angles, roof drops, etc.. measurable in this app? For example, how many feet of drop over the total length of an app? Are you seeking a certificate or

I am disappointed but hopeful that things will improve
3/5

you're looking for a torpedo level that has laser functionality and work in construction, do not purchase There is a risk that the laser head may break off easily, making it impossible to handle. One of those I dropped from fourteen feet onto a concrete floor and the laser head bent. The other I took out of the pouch and placed on a leveling pipe, but the laser head fell to Those pocket lasers are not meant for real construction sites as I do scaffolds on a daily basis. They would be perfect for measuring scaffolding pieces and sites for the future. The fact it is made abroad is so disappointing. Maybe if it were manufactured in the USA it This was an item I had really high expectations for and I hope to see improvements to it in the future. It would make a huge difference in my line of work.

The batteries included in the package need to be discarded
3/5

Laser levels like this one are very useful. Early in 2017, I checked it to make sure it supported its intended functions and stored it. My battery pack for the unit was cooked after I pulled it out of the box. It seems that the battery compartment has been covered in a white powdery paste. There is a problem with the unit. Do not use cheap batteries if you get them from a device. It will end up being more expensive for you to buy a replacement if you leave the batteries in the device.

The product should not be used in industrial applications
3/5

I did not realize the level has a swivel head so it can switch between a mark and a line when I ordered it. That was more my fault than the seller's. A swivel head, on the other hand, is not suitable for use in I haven't used this laser lever on a job site but it's an excellent tool for around the house. The level itself appears to be.

In low light the dot can be seen for at least 300 feet, the magnets are strong and lightweight, and there's a carrying case
5/5

It's a great tool for converting dots to lines , and a great way to change from the horizontal to vertical orientation.

There was too little power with the laser and it was It feels very heavy to me to use an aluminum level
3/5

It is hard to believe that it is aluminum since it feels like The magnet will slide down a steel locker door when attached by the magnet if it is placed on the locker. It is never, ever acceptable to allow such things to I cannot use this laser because the magnet is too heavy. Hence, this laser light is bad for long range radio, it can only cover a few feet, maybe twenty or more. Despite its low intensity (or low angle), the beam has barely enough illumination to emit a visible line on a plain wall. That was proving to be a very dissatisfying characteristic since I use it to hang Apart from that, I expected it to be very sturdy and of good quality. I think that the ability to rotate the laser beam from vertical to horizontal is an extremely well-thought-out feature. Sadly, I will need to use a spirit level from now on.

Although I had hoped for a better one, the new one is in fact It seems there is a loose connection on the side, because the laser is on for a couple of seconds and then it turns I am getting the second one after receiving the first one with the same issue
3/5

Although I had hoped for a better one, the new one is in fact Tapping on the laser on the first one would keep it on for a couple of minutes, tapping on this one would.

It's a good system
5/5

A small pocket is included in a storage pouch. It's a good system. There is a pocket in the storage pouch that holds 2 AAA batteries when not in use or any spare batteries you may need. It is well done to construct with metal. A round magnet is positioned at the center of the board. A level that extends the length of the level would be ideal, IMO.

I am disappointed
3/5

It would not be in my storage again and I would not have bought it if I had known then what I now know. In the past I had seen a red dot which stayed small the farther you got from it whereas this one gets bigger the farther you get from it and you can't see it during the day. I have seen a red dot before maybe Mayes.
