Very nice auto level laser [Posted on 2008-02-17]
Easy to use. Very adaptable to a variety of situations. Great with both horizontal and vertical modes or even both at the same time.
BDL310S laser level - Good value with some minor shortcomings [Posted on 2008-03-29]
This is a very good product for the "do it yourself" folks and will come in handy for many home improvment projects. I used it for installing drop ceiling in our basement and it made the job much easier. The unit is compact and has a flat base which allows it to be placed on pretty much anywhere. I was disappointed that the hanging strap is not included in the package, which would be very useful for drop ceilings etc. I improvised by mounting the wall mount frame on to a piece of 1X6 and then attaching the 1X6 to the joists. This allowed me to use the rack & pinion system to adjust the height accurately. The laser beam is not very powerful. It gets fuzzy at longer distances. Overall, a good value for the price.
Good for very infrequent occasions [Posted on 2008-04-18]
I really am trying to love this level.. but I keep trying to use it in these certain situations that make it completely useless. I don't want to poke a bunch of holes in my freshly painted walls (the level lets you poke holes in walls to hang it).. so I am forced to stack it on chairs to get this thing to be of any use. What this thing should be able to do is point the horizontal laser up and down. So that you could have it set on a counter at 5 feet.. and point the horizontal laser up to the opposing wall at 7 feet. Unfortunately.. you can't even try to angle it up as the shielding will block the laser. Very frustrating.. I've found I've just stuck with my good ol' bubble level in 4 out of 5 cases.
Also, the thing is super delicate when on its mounting platform.. any kind of touch will knock it off line and you have to re-finetune the positioning... it's just not that professional of a laser level if you ask me.
Nice little unit [Posted on 2008-04-26]
This isn't the be-all and end-all of laser levels, but for the price it's a very nice unit. The out-of-level indicator that interrupts the laser beam when the unit is tilted too far to accurately self-level is a great feature which makes hand-holding reasonable for many tasks. This is good because the thing is otherwise a bit difficult to get into perfect position. To cast a horizontal beam, you essentially have to place the level at the exact height you want. There's an elevator adjustment on the mount that goes through a range of about six inches, but you need to get the unit mounted within that range on your own. I tried to use the tripod mount screw hole, but for some reason it doesn't fit with either of the camera tripods I have at home. The positive magnetic engagement with the mounting base is another nice feature. Still, I'm happy with it and would recommend it.
Great tool, great price [Posted on 2008-05-09]
Works great, lines show up great even in sunlit filled room.
Very handy for hanging multiple pictures at the same level.
Only downside is small pinholes left in drywall, but they are very hard to notice.
