DEWALT 2-Way Self Levelling Cross Line Green Beam Laser with Carry Case DW088CG & DCS355N-XJ 18V Li-Ion Cordless Brushless Oscillating Multi-Tool

The DEWALT DW088CG-XJ Green Beam Cross Line Laser is typical DeWalt quality. It's built to last and, as a keen DIY-er, I found it is easy enough to operate without reading the instructions. It comes in a rugged black plastic box with batteries included (see photo).It needs to be put on a camera tripod in order for me to to set a baseline level from which I can then establish how much higher or lower all my other points are from that baseline. It's as simple as that.I live in a 1930's house so I thought I'd see how straight my walls are using the vertical line. Don't do this unless you're ready for a shock because it shows how wonky walls can be!The downside is the brightness of the green laser. It's fine when working indoors. Outside however, the laser is not bright enough to see the line unless being used around late evening. If used at that time, you're probably going to be on time pressure to finish before night-time and it gets too dark to work. So it's just not practical. The way around this is to shell out even more money for the receiver unit (as seen in the photo inside my clear plastic box). This makes the whole kit a pleasure to use. The receiver picks up the laser in bright sunlight by giving a clear audible beep. I'd say don't buy the green laser if you plan to work outside, unless you also buy the receiver.The receiver doesn't come in a box, so I keep everything together in a plastic box that I had to find specifically for this job. DeWalt need to sort this out by selling both items in a purpose built box.The 3 year warranty registration is a nice extra.So with those niggles taken into account, yes, I'd buy this level again.

Excellent product that helps speed up and make projects easy and quicker with high level of accuracyGreat value for money

Great product and fast shipping

Great green laser that is definitely easier to see compared to the red ones, especially when in natural light.Only 2 buttons to press, one for the horizontal and one for the vertical beam.You can put on the floor and the vertical goes pretty much overhead and in front, or hang it by using magnet on metal structure, or by banging a nail or screw in the wall and hanging on that.The carry case is very good and tough and will survive knocks in the back of the van being bounced around (so far).Everything I have done, or my mates have done on site (they're so jealous) is accurate and is great for lining up sockets, conduit, downlighting etcAt home I've used when fabricating floating shelves from wood and the job was made loads easier and took probably 4 or 5 times quicker to hang, than just using an ordinary spirit level and they look great.More expensive than some, but durable, easy to use and room for pack of AA batteries in the case. Would highly recommend.

Eats battery's like there 10 a penny

…and it did the job brilliantly. I had to put up 11 Perspex sheets in my finance company training room and anything less than perfection was not an option.I used it with a redundant camera tripod, although I’m now tempted to also purchase the Dewalt tripod which will give me greater control and accuracy.Dewalt is a brand that I trust completely for my tools and this laser level has not disappointed. It’s self-levelling, very easy to use and is very difficult to get it wrong. Even simple tasks such as putting up several photo frames now takes half the time.My spirit level could be redundant

Simple to use-easy to attach to a tripod or alternatively to any construction steel by means of inbuilt magnets or to any timber/wall by means of included bracket

This is a game changer (BRILLIANT)
