Line Laser, Self-Leveling, Cross Line, Red Beam (DW088K)

The DEWALT Line Laser is accurate, easy to use, and very durable. It helped make my projects much faster and more precise. The lines are bright and clear, even in well-lit areas. Battery life is excellent, and the build quality feels solid and professional. Highly recommended for both DIY users and professionals!

So far, I used this for hanging drywall in two room additions, and I love it! This is my first laser level of this type. I’ve only had it a short time, but it has been an absolute game changer. Being able to project both a vertical and horizontal line at the same time is super handy. The magnets on the included mount seem to be plenty strong and hold nicely to metal corner bead on finishes drywall walls. Also, I checked it for level using a four foot bubble level, and the self-leveling pendulum for the emitters seems to be absolutely accurate and repeatable to the claimed accuracy specification. I’m also looking forward to using it for leveling the grids for drop ceilings in the two rooms that I’m working on. I’ve watched videos on it being used for this task, and it looks like it should simplify things a lot.

First my credentials.. I am a 30 year old male and a home builder. I am on my 3rd home and I should have had this on my first. I received this laser level a few days ago and have been playing around the house with it. The self leveling feature seams very accurate and fast (1-2 seconds) and has very strong magnets to mount nearly anywhere. I also dusted off my camera tripod and am using that with this item also and it works great on that too. Super bright laser. Solid line. Those are the three key features for me. Self leveling, very bright laser, and the solid line. I showed it to my uncle who is also a builder and he couldn't believe the price and simplicity on it. He has been using on of the old dewalt strobe laser levels for year and payed about three times more. The only negative that I can see about this product is the mountable clip that can be attached to laser. It will only clip on to something thin, like a piece a sheet metal. I am still giving this puppy 5 stars though.. It would be nice to connect it to something like a 2x4. Great product, highly recommended. Not sure what the difference is between this model and the dw0087, if someone knows can you comment on this review and let me know? Thanks

Excelente

This is my second cross line laser, the first being an earlier generation of an obscure brand that is no longer sold but served me very well for a number of years. I opted to get a new unit primarily for the convenience features that my other unit doesn't have: most significantly, the DeWalt is much smaller and lighter, and I really like the mounting options; specifically, 1) the tripod mount on the bottom that fits my very stable camera tripod, and 2) the magnets in the mount allow easy attachment to anything metal including a small metal Simpson tie plate that I can attach to studs with a screw in about 3 seconds so I can hang this things wherever I want. I also like the fact that it flashes at you when you don't have it sufficiently plumb of level to be within the swing capability of the pendulum. That makes it easy to glance down at it and realize you need to tweak the housing a bit to get within those limits. There are a couple of things that I don't like: 1) There is no lock on the pendulum for use during transport. This is probably less of a big deal than I originally thought, however, because it came to me via UPS with that pendulum clunking around inside, and after checking calibration when I first got it, the thing was right on the money. So, it can obviously handle some clunking around, and I'll certainly subject it to less of that than what it saw on its way to me. 2) It sure would be nice if it was brighter. I had hoped it would be an improvement over my earlier generation laser in this respect, but it's not. As I think about it, projecting a line beam over a wide degree range certainly requires more energy than projecting an equally bright dot, but it has made using it outside during the day a bit of a challenge. There is a $100 laser detector that you can buy for this thing that will allow using it over a much greater distance in daylight (the advantage of the DW88 vs DW87), and I'm waiting for one of the vendors I found who sells this detector to get one back in stock. Meanwhile, let me offer some observations on its usability without a detector. At night, it's great. I've got up early a couple of times to shoot outdoor stuff at 4AM because it projects such a nice line over a long distance -- setting footing and pier elevations, lining up ground markers up the side of the house, etc. Indoors during the day, you can pretty much see the beam over any typically useful distance: within a room or across two or three rooms. Outdoors during the day, however, is where it gets challenging. With overcast skies you can get maybe 15 feet or so, sometimes a little better if you can cast a good shadow over the target area. This, by the way, is wearing DeWalt's over-priced, red plastic glasses to enhance the beam, which also make red print on a tape measure disappear so you have to move them away from your eye and back a time or two to get a measurement if you insist on using a tape with any red numbering like me. It also helps to have something bigger for the beam to hit that you can hold alongside of a tape if you're trying to get a measurement... I used a green kneeling pad angled up toward my eye to find the beam, and then did my best to align my tape with the edge of the pad since I couldn't see the beam on the tape. You could also set up a stationary target that you could mark and then measure. That said, my favorite time to use this laser outside is early morning or dusk unless I need 50+ feet... then it's pre-dawn or well after sunset. Regarding accuracy, I have been really impressed. As one example, I shot 50' across the back of a house for a deck ledger location, and used that same projection to measure that height above twelve concrete piers for steel column heights, and the measurements came out as perfect as I could imagine (e.g., within 1/16" and/or my ability to tell). Using a tripod, I picked two locations about 50' apart, and swiveled the laser back and forth to the edges of its projected beam, and the beam projections lined up perfectly. I used this same technique to project elevations around the five sides of a large bay on the back of a house, and everything matched up well. Bottom line for me: I like the unit, I'd buy it again, it's extremely handy to use and has worked well for me. I just wish it projected a brighter beam, maybe as an on-demand feature where you can get more light when you want it if you're willing to sacrifice battery life. Just an idea.

It gets the job done and well worth the price. I’ve already dropped mine a few times and it still levels on point. The case it comes in it’s very durable too.

Good

The wall is a very nice brand overall and this laser level did not disappoint. My husband was very excited to receive this as a gift and has already put it to use in building a project for work and working on tiling in our bathroom. The brightness was great even in outdoor usage on a sunny day.

This tool is amazing. So far I have used it to level sill plates on my workshop floor, where the concrete slab is sloping significantly. Setting the level on the floor about 8 feet back from the wood, I found it could project the laser line onto a 2x4 plate sitting directly on the concrete floor. The line is pretty close to the top of the wood but it's absolutely usable for levelling. (Also because of the auto-levelling the fact that the unit was itself not level on the slab was no problem.) Having a usable line so low was a nice surprise. It wasn't clear to me based on the position of the laser window on the device whether it would be able to project the horizontal line so low to the ground. It made this particular levelling job easier and gave me high confidence in the results. Looking forward to using it for everything now going forward! (I guess I probably need a stand.)

Bu marka işini iyi yapıyor şarjlı matkapla duvar deliyoruz öyle güçlü

Buonasera a tutti, A seguito di acquisto per la posa di lastre in cartongesso, garantisco l'affidabilità e la robustezza del tracciatore laser. Unica pecca é la durata con batterie di categoria medio/bassa, tuttavia presumo che con batterie di marche top il suo utilizzo sarà prolungato per diversi giorni.
