Here's a laser level perfect for the homeowner or contractor who's hanging cabinets or shelving, installing suspended ceiling or flooring or just hanging artwork. It's compact, inexpensive and reliable. Strait-Line's 60-foot laser line can mark a 120-foot work area by swiveling the laser, and it's accurate to +/- 3/16" at 20 feet. Best of all, it leaves not a mark on your surface, unlike other laser levels we've seen that have pins on the back. Instead, just peel the strip of 3M Command Adhesive (be sure to affix the correct side to each surface) and place the level. For a horizontal line, just turn the unit until the bubble in the horizontal level is between the two lines. For a vertical line, keep your eye on the vertical level's bubble. Lengthening the line is a snap, accomplished just by changing the tilt angle on the mounting base up to 4 degrees. At its full length, the line isn't as bright as when it's projecting just a few feet, but even so, it's bright enough to work from. Hanging a wall border around a corner? No problem: The laser will round the bend for you. It's slick, fast, easy and fun. Our only complaints: It only comes with four Command Adhesive strips (so stock up) and the two AA batteries are not included. Other than that, it's a great little tool.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

From the Manufacturer
The New STRAIT-LINE Laser Level-LL120 is designed for a work area of up to 120-feet by rotating 360-degrees. The integrated ring allows you to position the laser at any angle. The laser line is 4-times more visible and rocks back and forth to focus the line where you are working. The dual bubble vials allow for both horizontal and vertical layout. The laser can be mounted and removed from any surface without damage with the use of the 3M Command Strips that are included. It's light weight and compact size allow for easy storage.

Customer Reviews

Excellent Value : Does what it's designed to 100%
I pointed out a few things that were not right with and could be improved upon when I reviewed the Black&Decker BDL110S BullsEye Laser level Stud Sensor and it was refresing to find this little wonder that seems to have gotten everything right compared to the overpriced Black&Decker tool.

For starters, it's not a combo, there is no stud finder in it, so it's not bulky and it can fire the laser at any angle that you choose in addition to the obvious horizontal and vertical angles. It has bubble vials for both level & plumb. The laser can be adjusted for distance either short and bright or long with a slight loss in brightness, if you are close to the corner, it will even get the laser straight line onto the adjacent wall.

This little gadget rocks.

STRAIT-LINE LASER LEVEL
I have used this a few times and have been pleased with its operation. I like the use of the 3M COmmand Strips to mount it. They work great. Only four are included in the package, so you'll need to buy more. I have used this outside during the daytime while putting up a fence and the laser was bright enough to see for 20-40 feet. Inside, it's very bright.

Too much time to setup for inaccurate results.
I am a precision freak when I build things or hang things, so I got this for only $14 at my local Menards. I needed to hang a span of pictures across a wall.

I made two pre-leveled marks on the wall, then lined up this laser line's "zero marks" with my marks. I also eye-balled the bubble in the Strait-Line for level (there is a lot of room for error though). I turn on the laser and it seems to be O.K., but I can tell just by looking at it that the laser is not level. Just to double-check, I place my other standard bubble level on the line and correctly verify that the laser is NOT level. It turns out that within 2-4 ft. from the Strait-Line the laser is true. The farther out you go the less true it becomes. It stands to reason that if you are 1 degree off at the device, you will be way off 15 ft. away.

Also, the laser line particles themselves tend to broaden out farther away from the device. A laser line that is 1/64" wide at the start is a 1/4" wide farther away. All total, between the level inaccuracy and the laser line width variation, there is about a 1" difference between my start point and my end point. I suppose that is within "tolerance" over the span of 15'. But I figure I can screw things up that much myself, simply using my level or a string line. I don't need a "precision" laser tool to do this for me.

The little 3M stickies that allow you to stick this to the wall did work nicely. However, they are use once and throw away. Mine came with four of these stickies. I did see these stickies in the same spot in the store where I found the Strait-line. But they are like the razor/razor-blade concept, where the initial product is cheap, but the stickies to use it are over-priced. A small pack of stickies was $7. Granted, how often are you going to use the straight line in this fashion? But if you do, you will quickly exceed the cost of the Straight-Line with the cost of the stickies!

All in all this is a mediocre product that took more time to set up, with not any more accuracy, than I could achieve simply using a string line, a couple pieces of masking tape, and my old level. If you don't need precision accuracy, but just want to entertain your cats... then by all means, get this product.
