Cheaper to buy from a local Home Depot [Posted on 2008-01-25]
I bougth this item for my foreman boyfriend as a suprise. He is yet to use it so a follow-up review in the future. However, as soon as he received it, someone at his jobsite mentioned Home Depot sells the item for $199 (regular price). He looked it up the Home Depot homepage and sure enough there it is. I thought of returning the item but Amazon will charge you the cost of return shipment. Not worth it. So, before you purchase it here, check out your local Home Depot. If you happen to have those 10% or 20% off coupon the store sometimes dish out, might be even worth it to just buy it from your local shop. Will be easier to return too if you happen to have a problem with the product later.

Works fine, but not what I wanted. [Posted on 2008-08-25]
This laser level projects six laser beam dots that define three lines in a dimensional axis, with the laser level itself at the center of this axis. The first line is straight up and down, the second line straight left to right across the horizon, and the third line is orthogonal to the second line. Keep in mind, however, that these axis are visible only as laser dots! This laser level does not project any visible laser lines, so it is next to useless for things like marking straight lines on existing horizontal or vertical surfaces. (ie, hanging pictures.) The laser level is simply to bulky to be placed against surfaces for the purpose of determining if they are level; the projected laser dot is about 4" away from everything. I suppose you could adjust for that with by taking a bunch of measurements with a ruler, etc., but that wasn't what I had in mind when I bought it. Still, I can only blame myself for not understanding what I was buying.
