Finally an accurate tool for measure the lack of curve on the ground! :-)
I've seen some amazing feedback on or invaluable opinions of products here, but someone considering using a simple low power laser level to prove a flat earth theory? I think it can be done but you'd need a lot of precise measurement of the location of the laser and the end point to prove… wait that would require using a GPS system, which would be orbiting the flat earth… 🤯

There is another deal associated with this:

I own this tool. Because it is not self-leveling, it relies on the bubble vials to indicate whether you're shooting a plumb or level line. The vials are too small to read easily and mine were not as accurate as stated. A shame, because if this tool were built to higher spec, it would be incredibly useful for an installer like me who likes to travel light. It would have replaced both my torpedo level and box level.

Now the cross line laser linked above is a perfectly usable, if budget, tool. If you have a very steady hand, you can hand hold it to a wall to use in a similar fashion, but it lacks the point function and has a bulkier form factor.

I have a LOT of Bosch tools and multiple lasers. I found this one to be more of a novelty.

I'd think so. Amazon seems to be matching Home Depot here:

Home Depot one seems to include the mount as well, I guess Amazon doesn't?

I was recently looking for a laser level... Compared the various Bosch and others on sale/clearance at HD, Lowes. Ultimately decided to roll the dice on a random no name off Amazon and couldn't be happier for much less $. I haven't analyzed it thoroughly, but crude checks seem within 1/8 inch over the ~16 ft spans for which I've used it so far.

I'm on the fence about flat earth theory, can someone please explain to me how that works when my great great great great grandfather explored Antarctica and fell through it into hollow earth??

Edit: asking for a friend

From the Amazon details page:

"Included Components: ‎(1) GLL 30, (1) MM 2 Flexible Mounting Device, (2) AA Batteries"

So yeah, it might. The mounting device in the listing from the OP seems to be hot garbage, but the device itself is solid for a one-or-two use DIY'er.

I'm replacing an old GMC rotating laser level. It is huge, heavy and uses 4 D cell batteries. It served me well, but it's time to move on.

Recommendations on the best level?
Best spirit levels? There are many good ones, but Stabila is consistently dead on and very robust.

Best laser levels? My favorite is the old style PLS 180G from about the time they were bought by Fluke corp. Those older units had heavier pendulums which settled the lines faster and danced less with ambient vibration.

The new PLS 180G (same model number) is not as stable, and about on par with the mid-tier Bosch (GLL-100gx), Makita (sk-105,106, etc), Stabila (LAX-300g), and Dewalt crossline lasers. They all have similar brightness, stability, accuracy in the $2-300 range. The Dewalt line is just a little fatter but similar brightness. I haven't tried the Milwaukee lasers yet, but I'm done throwing time and money at testing for now. I hope to get another 5-10 years out of my PLS and see what's new.

For value, I've twice bought Bosch GLL-100gx series refurbs for about $100. I've never had one fail; I just keep gifting them to people on my team.

For budget, I like the Huepar Box-1g. I used one daily for about 2 years, but the pendelum seized up one day and stopped self-leveling-- I think the cause was leaving it in my vehicle overnight when the temps went to single digits F. I'm sure the bigger names would use a higher quality grease in that joint. I liked it enough for the price to buy it again.

It's worth buying a green one, and it's worth spending just a little extra for something rated to cast a line at 100' or more. Don't buy the absolute cheapest option. There are reasonable daylight and indoor situations where they just aren't usable.

"Thumbs down" was a dick move.

I (and many, many others) don't like those here-today-gone-tomorrow no-name chinese brands. The QC is non existent, and the warranty and support are a joke. Most of the time their products crap out in a few months of regular use.

That's not to say there isn't an occasional "diamond in the rough" with them, but I'd rather throw my money at a company that has been around a while (Bosch, Dewalt, Klein, etc) because they stand behind their stuff for a long, long time.

Glad you found one of the diamonds, though! ;-)
