Decent unit, good results, good flexibility
29 October 2024Thackthwaite Man

originally posted on screwfix.com

Bought this because my old unit had been dropped o e too many times. It looks sturdy if strangely bulky but it certainly does the job. No need to check levels as it will automatically tell you if it's not level, which is a nice feature. The green lines are certainly bright but I have found them a little less precise than my old units red lines. Choose between horizontal or vertical lines or both together. Nice touch. Overall though, just what I needed and delivered quickly

Good for levels, not so good on verticals and the kit case doesn’t fit the rest of DeWalt’s T-stak cases

I bought this level a few days ago. I can say that it is very accurate and convenient. You place the metal plate on the wall and then use a magnet to level it to the desired level for you by sliding it up and down on the plate. I don't know how it will work outside, but indoors it's cool. Green color is really better than red, especially on a sunny day in front of the windows, the stripe is not lost. It also cuts a line along the floor, which is very useful for laying laminate, tiles, and so on. I would like to wish Dewalt to have the ability to adjust or have a precise option to line up lines at an angle (for example, 45° and so on) for paneling walls.

By the way, this cheap level holds the same three batteries for several months with frequent use. I was upset by one part of the Dewalt, within a day of constant use of the level I changed two sets of batteries. You need to know this and if you plan to work with the level for a long time, then take a decent supply of batteries with you. Otherwise everything is fine. I am satisfied with the purchase.

[Rewarded Review] A thin Green line.

I am a HVAC contractor, I have been wanting a small laser because having a straight line for reference is always handy when running pipe or conduit. Measuring and marking works, but I would then have to find the always missing tape measure! The AA batteries had me nervous as far as longevity of use, but I was pleasantly surprised! The unit came in a carrying case, which is a must for any laser. The case is tough and holds all the stuff for the laser including a spot for batteries. Instructions are minimal, but sufficient, the flashing laser beam confused me, but a quick search explained that the unit was too far out of level to auto correct. Initially I had to adjust my expectations as I am accustom to 360 degree lasers, once reminded that this unit is a baby laser ... MoreI am a HVAC contractor, I have been wanting a small laser because having a straight line for reference is always handy when running pipe or conduit.

I like the brackets for different mounting situations, I LOVE the magnet. My "big boy" 360 laser is much more costly and cumbersome to haul around, the portability and ease of use make this tool really handy!Beam: Green is easier to see, reach of the beam is acceptable.Rugged-yup I've dropped it with no issues.I loaned it to a general contractor friend of mine, He was impressed with the visibility of the green laser, its reach and longevity of batteries. Did I mention I love the magnet for mounting.

[Rewarded Review] Bright Green Laser Is Easy To Use
28 May 2021

I am overjoyed at how great a laser the Cross Line Laser is. The laser sends a bright green laser horizontally, vertically of in both directions at once by pressing one or both of the two pressure switches.The device comes in a well designed heavy duty plastic carrying case to hold the laser device, three AAA batteries, and an extra bracket. I really liked that there are slots specially dedicated for the batteries, which keep them separated and fresh in between jobs.The cross line laser is solidly built and can withstand drops of 3.2 feet (1 meter), and with its rugged carrying case the tool is ready for rough and tumble travel and construction sites.The laser is powerful and is highly visible in dark and bright settings due to its bright green color.

It has a good range that can be extended to 165 feet (50 meters) with an optional detector. Leveling is accurate to within 1/8 inch at 30 feet, which is more than adequate for most projects.The laser unit has several options for mounting. It has a 180 degree swivel bracket that can be mounted on a nail, set on a horizontal surface, attached to a metal surface by strong magnets in its bracket, or screwed onto a tripod by a 1/4 inch thread in its base. An extra bracket designed for placement on drop ceiling frames is an added bonus. The laser's auto self leveling allows for placement on uneven surfaces; up to a 4 inch tilt.Right out of the box the laser is easy to use. There is a very short Quick Start Guide included with the kit. And for more information there is a comprehensive Instruction Manual that is found by going to the www.dewalt.com website.This is a tool that you will want to add to your "must have" list.

[Rewarded Review] Nice Laser, some interesting choices
21 April 2021

I got this laser and used it almost immediately to hang a bunch of interior doors.Before opening it, I loved the hardshell box that it came in, and I liked the fact that it comes with batteries and a spot molded into the case to hold extra batteries.Right off the bat, I was confused as to why it came with a magnetic mount, but after looking at the packaging and paperwork, it seems like this laser is tailored to hanging drop ceilings. I like the fact that it is compatible with tripods of other brands, as I have a Bosch tripod that can be used with it.The fact that you can have just horizontal, just vertical, or both lines is really nice. I wish there was a way to lock the hanging laser mechanism inside so it doesn't rattle around in the case.Pros: Nice laser, ... MoreI got this laser and used it almost immediately to hang a bunch of interior doors.Before opening it, I loved the hardshell box that it came in, and I liked the fact that it comes with batteries and a spot molded into the case to hold extra batteries.Right off the bat, I was confused as to why it came with a magnetic mount, but after looking at the packaging and paperwork, it seems like this laser is tailored to hanging drop ceilings.

I'm very impressed with this Dewalt cross laser device. I have a red crossline laser from another manufacturer and based on its performance my perception for these devices was a "nice to have toy", but boy I was wrong, this green line laser is miles better than the red laser, I can put the device on the floor and it will mark a vertical line from floor to the ceiling, I tested indoors and had no problem drawing a horizontal line 50 feet away.Here are the key features that I like about it:• It works; the green line is not a mimic, I have a attached a picture comparing redvs green line. The difference is night and day.• Simple to use; want draw a horizontal ? Press the horizontal line button, want todraw a vertical line? Press the vertical line button.

There is no dedicated on/offbutton just press the horizontal or vertical button again.• The low battery indicator light will turn on when batteries have less than 25% of charge.• IP54. protection against dust and water splash. Do not swim with it : )• Attaching / mounting options○ If you are drawing vertical lines (i.e aligning studs) just put it on thefloor, the laser will draw a line from floor to ceiling○ To draw horizontal lines, most likely you will need to put the deviceabove the floor using a tripod or mounting it on the wall / ceiling, It hastwo powerful magnets on the back so you can attach it to any metalobjects, like metal studs and metal doors, it also comes with an extrabase that you can screw to wood or clamp it on drop ceiling.○ I like how you can rotate the base up to 180 degrees.Room for improvement• The device comes with an extra bracket to clamp it to a drop ceiling, however most of the drop ceiling rails nowadays are very thin, when clamping the unit to the drop ceiling the rail bends due to the unit's weight making the mark not accurate, this is not the device's fault but It would be great to redesign the clamp to open at least 2 inches with rotation so it could also be attached to 2x4 studs.• The batteries that come with the device are generic low quality batteries, they are prone to leak. Out of the box the batteries were leaking acid. These are consumable items and does not affect the evaluation of the laser device but it would be nice if it came with better batteries out of the box.I do recommend this laser device for indoor work, and small outdoor work, for outdoors there are other type of devices from Dewalt especially designed for outdoors that work very well with bright sunlight.If you are a homeowner thinking about buying the Christmas special laser devices that you see at the home center for less than $50. don't do it. Those are only good for hanging picture frames, instead invest in a quality device like this Dewalt.

I wasn't ready to make the jump to this newer "Laser" technology, and so I remained with my old-school levels.

I wasn't ready to make the jump to this newer "Laser" technology, and so I remained with my old-school levels. But then...About 3 years ago, I started preparing for my retirement, and part of that process was to have a plan "B" in case I needed to go back to work. My choice for plan "B" was the construction business. And so, after extensive research for the brand, and quality, of tools that I would need for this possible adventure, I decided to go with the "DeWalt" 20v MAX collection of tools due to their reliability over the years. I was NOT disappointed! I had my eyes on DeWalt's DW08825LG 12v 5-Spot + Green Line Laser Kit, however, being deterred by its cost, I decided to start off with more of an entry level laser, and so I chose the DW088 series of lasers.I then went through a struggle with choosing between the Red or Green laser models. Research showed the Green laser to be a bit brighter and easier to see in daylight over the Red one, so I went with the DW088CG model. (I also picked up a DW08801 Red laser for comparison, which is shown in the photos below). (Depending on your lighting, and the coloration of the material reflected on, both the Red & GRN lasers have their advantages over the other). I was indirectly then attracted to the DW088 laser series because of its lower cost, (easily affordable), its small, light weight of 3.5 lbs, (ease of portability), its use of 3 1.5v AA batteries, (easily attainable), and its ability to mount in diverse ways; plus, it was "Self Leveling." It has an attached 180 degree integrated magnetic pivoting mount, which also has a 1/4" X 20 thread on the bottom of the unit for mounting to a standard camera tripod. The magnets allow attachment to most metal objects, such as the metal drywall strip on most internal wall corners, as shown in one of my photos. It also includes another detachable bracket that connects magnetically, and allows further mounting options such as ceiling brackets, nails, etc... and is contained within its own DeWalt molded "hard case" for protection and storage. *** I REALLY like the DeWalt HARD cases!!! ***The DW088CG laser uses a "constant pulse" for detection with an optional DW0892G Green Line Laser Detector that allows detection up to a distance of 165'. (Always pay attention to the fine print, which says it can achieve a range of 165' WITH a detector), [sold separately]. The laser's "visible" range is 100' without the detector. I have measured this and I have achieved a distance greater than 100', which is very significant for its intended use. I do NOT own a detector, therefore, I am unable to verify the MAX range of the unit with the use of said detector. The Self-Leveling feature allows the unit to be "auto-corrected" within a +/- 4 degree tilting of the device without any outside adjustment. If tilted beyond this limit, the "Out of Tilt" Range Indicator will cause the laser beam to "FLASH" until manually brought within the +/- 4 degrees of tilt, (Level/Plumb). This was a GREAT advantage for me in the use of the lasers to level and plumb the fabrication of my barn stalls, in that I did NOT have to use the cumbersome "string levels", neither did I have to constantly "dodge" the strings that held them, along with the "re-leveling" of them every time they were run into, or an adjustment was made to a post, or such...The first thing that I wanted to do was to check and verify its accuracy, so I setup the laser at the end of my 40' hallway and went through the calibration procedures. (These measurements were also double checked with my "physical" levels for comparison). Being a DeWalt product, I was expecting things to be BETTER than what was stated on the brochures, which was +/- 1/8" at 30'. My results at 40' as recorded in one of the photos below, was quite a bit tighter than the specifications; the Horizontal Beam, Scan Direction being 1/16th", the Horizontal Beam, Pitch Direction being 1/32nd", and the Vertical Beam at 12' was 1/16th". All of these results far exceeded the specification requirements of the product, as recorded within the manual. (I did notice, however, that the printed manual included with my 1st laser, was now replaced with only a digital version for my 2nd laser). [Ouch!]There are actually two separate lasers in this product; one for the vertical plane, and one for the horizontal plane. The On/Off switches are located on the left side of the unit and allow them to be turned On/Off independently of each other, giving the user the ability to use either one, leaving the other laser turned off, and preserving the battery's EOL, (End Of Life), until needed. It has "Battery Low Voltage" detection, along with a "Battery Low" indicator that "flashes" when low voltage, <25% of charge, is detected, and is located next to the On/Off switches for the lasers. I cannot verify the continual "run-time" of the batteries, due to my turning them off when not making measurements, however, I used them, in my opinion, quite extensively before needing to change the batteries.**** BTW - I NEVER leave the batteries in ANY of my battery operated tools. A faulty and/or corroded battery can cause extensive damage, or force an expensive replacement. ****The uses for this tool is well beyond my initial perception over the older Traditional Levels and String Plumb Bob. I can display the laser beam across the whole room at one time and NOT have to constantly move it as I work on different pieces of the project. Cabinetry hanging, wall/Joist/rafter alignment, floor tiling, ceiling tiling, hanging lights, and especially ceramic back-splash alignment, and electrical outlet alignment to keep everything square/level/plumb.Wow! Just think what I could accomplish if I had the DW08825LG 12v 5-Spot + Green Line Laser Kit model and one of the detectors!The Dewalt DW088CG Self-Leveling Cross-Line GREEN Laser is listed as a Class 2 laser having

[Rewarded Review] Very visible and accurate

Got this laser level to use in comparison with the one I was previously using (a different brand) on job sites. I am partially color blind and had a very hard time seeing the red laser line with the other set up past 5-6 ft. from the unit. I was pleasantly surprised when I turned this unit on and could see the vibrant green line the entire way around the room.When it comes to using the unit, there are lots of positives. The mounting bracket, although mostly plastic, is very sturdy in its construction. The pivot bracket is also sturdy and I found no deviation when rotating the unit side to side, when mounted. The magnets are strong and hold the unit in place without sliding. I liked the fact that there is a stop point on the mounting bracket to which you can set ... MoreGot this laser level to use in comparison with the one I was previously using (a different brand) on job sites. I am partially color blind and had a very hard time seeing the red laser line with the other set up past 5-6 ft. from the unit.

The mounting bracket, although mostly plastic, is very sturdy in its construction. The pivot bracket is also sturdy and I found no deviation when rotating the unit side to side, when mounted. The magnets are strong and hold the unit in place without sliding. I liked the fact that there is a stop point on the mounting bracket to which you can set the pivot bracket to with consistency. It’s gives the user the ability to remove the unit from the mounting bracket, use it else where, and then put it back and not have to worry about readjusting it.Unit is extremely accurate. I do high end custom cabinetry and generally work to 1/32” of an inch when building and installing (try to work by the saying “aim small, miss small”) so accuracy is key. Over the distance of 22’ ,from unit to wall, I was able to figure out that there was just under 1/32” deviation.ConsOne thing that I wish this unit had was a field of view that was slightly past 180*. There was a point during initial setup on a job that I had to reset the laser due to it not being able to cover all needed areas at once.Another thing I can see potentially becoming an issue with consistent use is the screw holes on the mounting bracket. Due to the bracket being plastic, there may be a chance to wear through those hole over time.Overall this is a sturdy, well built accurate unit that is very easy to calibrate and use as long as you take the time to do it properly.
