Customer Reviews

Very Good, but the BDL310 is better.
I have both the BDL170 and the BDL310. They are both lovely because you don't need to rely on a bubble level to get the tool level. Instead, level is automatic. The big difference between the two is that the BDL310 does both horizontal and vertical at the SAME TIME. That has saved me a huge amount of time. Just search for BDL310 and compare for yourself.

Not what is seems.
To answer the first reviewers question it has a attachement device with a little pin to punch it into the wall. If you don't mind pinholes here and there.

More importantly I have two complaints. First, the centerpoint of the horizonal level is not well marked. It should have a big red line not a little black one like all the rest. But I see why they didn't mark it well. When I hang the level on the wall a movement of less than one line thickness makes a huge difference on whether the line is acutally even with the floor or not. I am reduced to standing back and looking at the line and the floor and saying, "Yep, that looks good." I coulda done that myself and saved the 20 bucks.

If I give it a little nod to usefulness it does give you a dependably straight line across the wall from one point. This can be useful but buy a used one or on sale. Wait till B & D has discontinued it and you can buy it in the bargin basket with all the other, "almost good enough" stuff B & D does.

Self Leveling Feature is a Good Thing
I recently purchased this unit to establish straight level lines around the perimeter of a living room. The self leveling feature makes this very easy. There is no need to fuss over getting the unit perfectly leveled as the projected laser line will adjust accordingly.

In those cases where you want a straight line between two known points, not necessarily a horizontal level or vertical plumb line, the self leveling feature can be turned off.

The built-in protractor can be useful for establishing various line angles from the horizontal.

I am very pleased with the BDL170.
