Year-End Blowout Boulder Tools Laser Level & Mini Tripod, Self-Leveling, Bright, 360-Degree Horizontal And Vertical Cross Line Laser

The media could not be loaded. I used this laser level over Presidents Day weekend to ensure I was installing my recessed lighting straight. I couldn't believe how much easier it made the job. I posted a video of the result => perfect alignment!What I loved about this product was that even though i did this during the day I could still see the laser beam perfectly. I have another laser level that I've had for the past year or so that I can only use at night which is totally pointless. This however does not disappoint.It took me a few minutes playing around with it to figure out how all the buttons work. There are two modes, locked and unlocked that are controlled with the sliding switch on the front. Locked does not auto level and unlocked does. The functionality of the buttons on top change slightly in each mode. It probably would have helped if I read the directions beforehand but I eventually got it. Love that it has both the vertical and horizontal 360 degree line options. You can set it to only have one or the other or both going at the same time.Be aware that this is brighter than any laser pen I've ever seen. Your kids are going to want to steal it and run around the house lazering everything (and when I say kids I refer to my wife and I). Your neighbors might think the SWAT team is running through your house haha.Honestly, this product definitely exceeded my expectations. It's built well and looks and feels high quality. If my opinion changes I will post an update!

I got this because I needed a 360° laser that would reach at least 100 feet--I'm painting horizontal lines and hanging lights in a huge gymnasium, and I needed an easy way to get everything aligned at once. Also, I'm cheap and didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for the same product with a name brand on it.This fit the bill perfectly--it is *crazy* bright and we had no problem seeing it at 100', even with lots of daylight coming in the windows. Awesome. The case and tripod are both sturdy and well made. (I'm even thinking of getting a tripod adapter for my cell phone so I can use it for pictures.) Overall, this is an excellent value for what I paid.I did have a little trouble putting the batteries in (operator error): there are three AAs, and even though the slots they sit in look identical, two of them go one direction and the third goes in the other way. There are little notations to that effect on the lid, but I didn't have my reading glasses on, oops. Now you won't make the same mistake.Speaking of reading glasses, my only complaint about this purchase is that the instructions were in tiny print and they weren't all that helpful. That being said, there aren't that many buttons and it was pretty easy to figure out and use, which is exactly what my husband did when he saw it and thought I'd gotten him a present. HA! Get your hands off my laser, buddy.

I think if I had it to do over again, I'd go with another brand, and spend a little more. The "tripod" in particular is about the right size for a desktop web cam, not at all suiltable for a laser level. Shouldn't be advertised as coming with a tripod at all, but it does work, and it's bright enough fo daylight use.

The headline says it all. I paid for a new, unused, fully-functioning item. As happened to a previous reviewer, what I received had obviously been opened, used and returned. I might have been OK with this if it worked, but the horizontal laser line was non-functional. I checked the (damaged) instructions that came in the box to ensure I was using it correctly. Very bad Amazon / Boulder Tools experience.

It works ok depending on the application. This laser is VERY finicky if the unit isn’t resting perfectly level, so not great at “self-leveling”. I bought this to set tile after my other laser died. I noticed after a while that my tile rows started to look a bit “off”. According to the laser they are dead on, but when I checked it with a level (stabila), the rows drop and 1/8” over 6 feet on either side. Unacceptable in my book but great if you want to hang a picture or just get a quick height for something. Otherwise, not a reliable laser for any sort of professional application. If you are looking reliability & accuracy, stick to purchasing a laser from a company that builds lasers, not a one off product like this.

First my deck. the boards started coming up in the middle and I would nail them down every year. This laser level helped me realize that one corner had sank a bit. I was able to lift that one corner a bit and easily level the deck. That alone was fantastic and saved me a lot of work and an unsafe deck.Next the pool, I had set the pool on unleveled ground this year and if you've ever tried leveling the ground or a pool, you know how frustrating that can be, especially if you already filled the pool, ugh. This laser level lights up an even path all the way around the pool so you can see the high/low spots. It's the end of the season, and I'm taking the pool down until next spring, but you can bet I will use this instead of boards to level the ground before then.Of course this makes lining up photographs and frames on the walls a piece of cake. No more holding up levels and marking with a pencil and using broom sticks to line up frames.It's nice and lightweight and small so it doesn't take up much room. The box it comes in is less than half the size of a shoe box. I did need to use a bigger tripod, but there is a small countertop tripod included.
