"Well?" 2010-07-08
By jerry campbell (WINTERVILLE, NC, US)
The first one that I ordered came in fast .but it did not work so I shipped it back,and they said that that company was out of stock,so I ordered one from different company on amazon cheaper that the one I ordered earlier,it came in but took longer.opened it up to set it up and the level bubble was cracked in it and no fluid in it so it cannot be leveled up to use it,I wasn't going to send back for a second time so I took it apart and replaced the piece and fixed it myself,works good now
Thanks Jerry
"Great for outside work if you have a few accessories" 2010-05-31
By Reviewer (Near Columbus, OH United States)
I used this level when landscaping, often building patios and retaining walls. We had two accessories for this level - a tripod and a sliding bar for the detector. I agree with some of the other reviews on here that the bubble level in the unit is a bit cumbersome to read, and since the entire system relies on this bubble for the level measurement, your accuracy is only as good as the bubble. Since this is the same principle as a bubble level, you're kind of limited to the accuracy of your old tool. However, the advantage with this unit is that you don't have to keep projecting your 4 or 8 foot level out and wrestle with a tape measure at the same time, so it saves time in that regard.
That being said, for our purposes we were satisfied with this unit because we could lay out an area and check for low and high spots fairly quickly. We weren't building foundations, however, and I'm not sure if I would trust it in that application. But it saved us a lot of time after we had roughed in, as we could set it up at one corner and walk around with the pole, looking for places to touch up. When building a patio in a corner of a house where it needs to pitch away from the house in both directions, this was much more handy than a stringline as we could project across the whole space rather than the edges.
I'm not landscaping for a living anymore, but recently I built a retaining wall for my house using a just a 4 foot level, tape measure, and some wooden stakes and stringlines. After it was finished I saw that one of my walls was more level than the other, which irritates me to no end. Laying a level on the wall says it's "level", but it has a very tiny pitch... about 1" over 20 feet that my 4-ft level can't resolve. If I walk across the street and eyeball it, it is detectable. I am now resolved to find a laser level, so I revisted this one.
Since I am now getting ready for a deck project, I'm searching for the right level, but I remember tinkering with this goofy bubble level when I used this tool in the past, and I'm not sure if I want to do that for this thing. Also, since that tripod and sliding detector tool were so handy, I really don't see how this unit would be useful without them. So, my recommendation is that this is fine for patios, but when you need precision, I think this needs some revision. I built a garage a couple of years ago, and the contractor that poured my concrete had a laser level. That garage is square over 24" within 1/16th of an inch, and I can detect no variations in level across it. I want to find out what he used... but I know it wasn't this Dewalt.

"Worked when I needed it to" 2009-11-28
By Justin G. Cramer (Chicago, IL USA)
I bought this tool refurbished, as I was doing a lot of construction in my basement and needed level lines. This tool admirably served its purpose. It worked with my existing DeWalt 18v items as well.
I have more complaints than accolades for the device though, not all of which I had at the beginning.
Pros:
* Works with other DeWalt 18v (or down to 9.6v) batteries
* Versatile base allows for flexible mounting
* 360 degree laser allows you to do all walls at the same time
* very visible indoors
Cons:
* Heavy - You can not use a standard camera tripod as a base as it will flex and bow
* Fidgety - any touch to the unit or base requires that you recheck for level
* Only for use outside in overcast or evening conditions
* Big - This unit is just big, massive, you will never loose it at a job site as it is too big to miss on a cleanup.
With the rapid change and proliferation of self leveling lasers out there I would not make this purchase again. I am leaning towards purchasing a new self leveling laser for my next project that will require a laser level.
"OK for low light..." 2008-08-08
By R. Kent (Colorado)
This laser level performs as advertised. It was very easy to set up and use in both the horizontal and vertical modes. The lasers seem bright, but were very hard to see outdoors, and impossible in bright sunlight. I will be keeping the product for use indoors only.
