Out of the Box - It's Perfect [Posted on 2005-09-24]
After looking for a laser level for the past year, I finally took the plunge and bought the PLS5. Out of the box, I was not disappointed. Simple, easy to set up; plumb, level and square. Have already used for a framing job and I going to use on a garden shed to square the foundation. Am not a professional, but this really helps. As someone says, if you can find a better one, buy it. For my money, this is perfect
List price is 51% higher than MSRP (inflated list price) [Posted on 2005-11-29]
List price for the PLS5 is actually $495.00, NOT $999.95 as Amazon claims!
$378.94 is actually only 23.5% less than Pacific Laser Systems' MSRP of $495.00. Amazon has artificially raised the list price by 50.5% to make this look like a better deal than it is! It's still a decent price, but it's nothing like the savings they're reporting!
A laser that actually does what it's supposed to... [Posted on 2006-11-05]
...and that's nearly all there is to say. My PLS 5 gets used nearly every day for work (as a General Contractor), and is the industry standard for other trades as well. I have tried to use cheaper, a.k.a. inferior lasers, and ended up going back to the old standby methods of hydro leveling and the plumb bob. Not a good use of time. The PLS 5 is a great unit. Buy one. Just don't pay more than $[...] or so, otherwise you're getting jerked around. Before I found mine at [...], the best price I could get locally was upwards of $[...]

Nice tool, pretty much does what they say. Bigger than I had wanted but still ok. Decent storage case. Also was able to hold the optional tri pod adapter. If it holds up over time I'll be satisfied.
Not too impressed with service and pls laser get a hilti [Posted on 2008-06-12]
I have used hilti lasers in the past and continue to, but i thought i would get something differnt. it was a mistake, they might be slightly more accurate but at 100 ft the dots about the size of a quarter so it doesnt really matter. I really like the hilti for framing because its smaller and easier to use because its offset when you but it up is 1 inch vs like a 1 7/16 on the pls 5. the warranty is also very good on all hilti products the most you can spend to repair it is 30% and its free for 2 years. When working around knuckle heads and occasionally droping your tape when measuring the laser its going to get hurt. My tape slipped out of my hand and cracked the top viewing window and pls said it was going to be one hundred and fifty nine to fix, i spent three fourty on it, thats almost half for just a piece of glass. hilti also throws in a free calibration on every laser repair. Bottom line is that the hilti is the way to go. you spend slightly more up front but you get taken care of much better. Hilti is made in a tiny country by germany in centeral europe so the quality is there.
