Product Information

This inexpensive laser level is good for small projects and has several useful features like cross lines, automatic leveling, and an included carrying case. This product has a durable design and is also available as a green laser level as well for greater visibility. It can also be set to a manual-adjustment mode if needed. This laser level was one of the top models during our test. It had a highly visible line that extended onto the ceiling and a clear crossing interface. It also includes automatic leveling and had a magnetic plate as well as a laser target plate to increase the beam’s reach. The laser level measures 12 x 14 x 10 cm and weighs just a shade over 1 kg at 1049 g with the universal base attached. Compared with some tiny laser levels on the market this one’s quite chunky, but with the three laser modules on board, you couldn’t make it much smaller if you tried.

Cross Line Laser Level – As the name suggests, a cross line laser level will simply send a cross out across the room, perfect for if you are hanging pictures or mirrors as you will not only be able to see if it is straight in line with the ceiling but also in line with the wall. These laser levels can also be used for completing some tiling jobs.

The laser level working range is specified (in metres) both with and without a receiver , so bear this in mind when comparing values. Read our guide below to determine which laser level will help you complete the tasks around your home. Laser Type At the end of the day, our overarching goal is to recommend products that provide our readers with the best overall user experience in a fair, balanced, and transparent way. It is said that a master craftsman can create wonderful things without any fancy tools at their disposal. However, even the top craftsmen in the world need proper tools to work at their best. Similarly, having the appropriate leveling tools are crucial for many large-scale woodworking, construction, and renovation projects. You can try to make do with a handheld spirit level, and it might even work. But, if you value precision and efficiency, there is no better leveling tool than a laser level.

Manual levelling laser levels will need you to adjust them so that they are sat straight on a surface and therefore sending out a straight line. These models will usually come with the traditional spirit level built it, which you must then use to make sure that your device is level. Whereas automatic or self-levelling laser levels will correct themselves so that they are level on almost any surface and able to send out a level beam. Although more expensive, an automatic laser level will save you a considerable amount of time if you are going to be using your tool regularly, they also help to remove any user error! Saves you getting the blame for all those wonky pictures on the wall! Accuracy and DistanceMake sure to look how far your laser beam will be visible for, and also how accurate it will be at this maximum distance. Many laser beams will lose strength at their maximum visibility length, which can affect the accuracy of the line, so look for one that is likely to have longer visibility than you are going to need. Green beam vs Red Beam At the very end of the test, we gave testers the price of each laser level so they could evaluate the overall value of each. We took all of these testing insights to come up with the best laser levels.

Operation literally couldn’t be any more straightforward. The lens case doubles up as the switch! You simply slide it out of the way and the green cross line shines out nice and brightly. You can’t cycle through modes, but for the price, this is an accurate and useful laser tool. Definitely, say both experts. “A laser level is 100 percent worth purchasing if you do any kind of DIY projects around the house like trim work or even something simple like a gallery wall,” explains Nasir. “It makes it so much easier to have a visual line as a guide rather than holding up a traditional level.” McCoy adds that laser levels “help you to produce perfect angles and flat planes, no matter the job.”

Comparing Line Lasers

Out of bright sunlight, and especially in the dark, the laser was easy to find up to 30 metres away. I was guessing at the exact distance, but it was far enough away to be impressive. For most jobs that a DIYer will take on, it’s absolutely fine.

This level easily gave me level and plumb lines that I felt I could trust,” says our tester. They found that the self-leveling feature does wobble slightly, making “adjusting it a bit more challenging,” but the results were still more than satisfactory. They also found it to be durable and versatile, and a good value with that low price compared to so many others. “It’s a low-cost tool to have around for when you need it,” says our tester. Just keep in mind that it’s only designed to be used indoors. Look for models that offer water and debris resistance. Even if you think that you are unlikely to use your product outside, you never know when it might be in a damp environment, or when you might be using it on a job that goes drastically wrong (such as plumbing works!) leaving your laser level having a bit of a shower! Equally, most laser levels are going to be exposed to a certain amount of dust and debris, so lookout for a model that is protected from this! Using a Laser Level We acquired 25 laser levels and put them to use in our Lab. First, we set up each laser level, evaluating how easy they were to turn on and whether any calibration steps needed to be performed to get the laser to work. We then used a stopwatch and timed how long it took for each level to attach to the tripod and project the laser. The three laser modules on this level are true 360° ones, and apart from the tiny gaps left by the shadow of the laser housing, it casts a bright and easy to read green laser around the room. They are powerful Class 2 lasers with a working range of approximately 30 m. Hychika Green Laser Level: Another fairly inexpensive option, this laser level wins points for its “very crisp and easy to see” green lines and serious durability, according to our tester. However, the tripod it comes with “is not professional-grade,” leading to decreased accuracy and needed adjustments.These modern devices are simple in their concept yet elegant in their function. Using a quality laser level the right way can drastically improve your workflow. The keyword to focus on here is quality, as a bad laser level is no worse than trying to just eyeball the level. So, how can you find quality laser levels from the sea of hundreds of options?
