[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The day the laser arrived it was it to use! The instructions to get it set up were easily understood and made the process a breeze! My favorite feature is the fact that if the laser become uneven at any point, the beam will flash and continue to flash until it is made even again!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Soooo much better than my red laser level

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've have now retired my old red laser level after using this DeWalt green laser level. The difference is night and day! I can see this in the day time easily unlike my red laser level that I couldn't see beyond a few feet during the day.
The green laser lights are very bright. I like being able to choose to have just a vertical line, horizontal line or both. There are two very strong magnets on the built in swivel so you can attach it to a metal surface and swivel it in the direction that you need it to project a level or plumb line. The built in swivel also has a hole so you can hang the level from a screw, nail or hook.
It shines a crisp clear line on a variety of surfaces and finishes. The included hanging mount for attaching to a drop ceiling grid is a nice touch. It has a solid, quality feel and I can tell that this will last me for many years and projects to come.

Works well enough indoors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a working cabinet maker, I have two concerns. One there is no lock for the laser and two the line is very wide, possibly 3/16" at 10'. I've had another major brand for many years and the laser locks for travel which this one does not. The locking feature may not matter but sounds dangerous. As to line width, this is really a small criticism. The case though is really well constructed and thought-out. I cannot imagine damaging the tool while in its case. If the laser locked in position when not in use I would definitely give this device FIVE stars.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the best laser levels I have ever used. The line is super bright and easy to see from quite a distance away.

Found this laser very useful for setting cabinets. My biggest concern is the lack of a locking feature for the laser. The case is well made and thought-out and I cannot imagine any damage while transporting in the Dewalt box

Very visible and accurate

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this laser level to use in comparison with the one I was previously using (a different brand) on job sites. I am partially color blind and had a very hard time seeing the red laser line with the other set up past 5-6 ft. from the unit. I was pleasantly surprised when I turned this unit on and could see the vibrant green line the entire way around the room.
When it comes to using the unit, there are lots of positives. The mounting bracket, although mostly plastic, is very sturdy in its construction. The pivot bracket is also sturdy and I found no deviation when rotating the unit side to side, when mounted. The magnets are strong and hold the unit in place without sliding. I liked the fact that there is a stop point on the mounting bracket to which you can set the pivot bracket to with consistency. It’s gives the user the ability to remove the unit from the mounting bracket, use it else where, and then put it back and not have to worry about readjusting it.
Unit is extremely accurate. I do high end custom cabinetry and generally work to 1/32” of an inch when building and installing (try to work by the saying “aim small, miss small”) so accuracy is key. Over the distance of 22’ ,from unit to wall, I was able to figure out that there was just under 1/32” deviation.

Cons
One thing that I wish this unit had was a field of view that was slightly past 180*. There was a point during initial setup on a job that I had to reset the laser due to it not being able to cover all needed areas at once.
Another thing I can see potentially becoming an issue with consistent use is the screw holes on the mounting bracket. Due to the bracket being plastic, there may be a chance to wear through those hole over time.

Overall this is a sturdy, well built accurate unit that is very easy to calibrate and use as long as you take the time to do it properly.

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a month of use I don’t know how I ever managed without it. Lasers are a great investment and this one takes the cake. The casing holds up well. It was dropped from 3 feet and only had minor blemishes and no functionality issues. Overall it had the appropriate amount of deviation of 1/8” over the 65’ span, but we found that to only apply to the left side of the line. The right side was in tighter tolerance of 1/16”. The only thing that worries me is the pendulum doesn’t lock so it will rattle around if shook. This may lead to damage later, but as for now it seems to be holding up

Awesome Laser Level!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far the best laser level that I have used. I love the setup that it comes with, sturdy molded case, strong magnets that allow you to stick this level nearly anywhere and the bonus suspended ceiling bracket is awesome too. It is a bit sensitive to move and readjust, but this thing is Quality built, and dead on accurate. Of the many brands I’ve tried, this one is by far the most visible in daylight which is saying something. I also like the ability to screw mount to a tripod for ease of making adjustments as needed. But overall, I say this level is worth the money and it will make your life easier if you are a licensed contractor or just a DIYer.
