Long-Distance Line Levels

Create a horizontal reference point you can use when installing a fence, creating a grade line, or working across other long distances. Hang these levels from the center of a string stretched between two points, pull the line taut, and the bubble in the vial will let you know when the string is level. They're ideal when you're working on grass, dirt, or other uneven surfaces.

Adjustable Dot-to-Line Laser Levels

Twist the head to switch between a dot, a horizontal line, or a vertical line. These lasers project accurate level references onto walls, ceilings, and equipment. The laser is red and is best viewed indoors.

When a single point of reference is enough, use a dot. Lines give you an extended reference, so you can level several objects without moving the laser. For stability, mount these lasers to a tripod (sold separately), or attach the magnetic base to a metal surface.

Strap Mount—Lasers with a strap mount can also be secured to nonmagnetic surfaces.

Combination Crosshair Line and Multiple Dot Automatic Leveling Laser Levels


2 Dots	5 Dots (Front View)

5 Dots (Back View)

Level equipment with confidence—in addition to a crosshair, these lasers also project plumb dots, so you know the laser is in the right spot. They’re an upgrade from a standard crosshair laser while remaining simpler than lasers with multiple crosshairs. Use these lasers to precisely install square elements, such as doors and windows. The crosshair extends along your wall, so you don’t have to reposition the laser often as you work around your room. If you set them on a surface, these lasers level themselves within about 4° and indicate when they are out of level. You can turn this function off when you want to make sure your crosshair is level with something other than the Earth.

Secure them to a tripod using the threaded mount or use the strong magnetic base to attach them to equipment. They come with a magnetic target, which you can mount in your space to reflect the laser beam to increase its visibility in dim conditions and at far distances.

2 Dots—Levels with two laser dots help you verify your installation is plumb with reference points above and below the tool. These red lasers are best for indoor environments, since they’re dimmer than green lasers.

5 Dots—Levels with five laser dots help you verify that your tool is positioned correctly in multiple dimensions with reference points above, below, behind, and to the sides of the tool without repositioning your laser. These green lasers appear up to 10 times brighter than red lasers, so they’re easier to see outdoors or in bright indoor lighting, as well as from far away.

Crosshair Line Automatic Leveling Laser Levels

Laser

Green

Laser

Project two intersecting lines to ensure equipment is level and plumb. Set these laser levels on any surface and they'll level themselves within about 4°. They’re often used to align bench tops in shops and labs.

Red Laser—Red lasers are dimmer than green lasers, so they’re best viewed indoors. Use the included tripod to position them up to 46” high.

Green Laser—Green lasers appear up to 10 times brighter than red lasers, so they can be used from farther distances and in brightly lit areas, including outdoors. Use the included magnetic target to make your laser beam easier to see from a distance. They have a magnetic base and can be affixed to flat surfaces when mounting holes are not available.

360° Sweeping-Line Automatic Leveling Laser Levels

Magnetic Target

Set these lasers on any surface and they’ll level themselves horizontally within about 4°. They emit a beam of light 360° around the base, so you won’t have to keep repositioning them as you move around a space. Use them to align machinery, install conveyors, and check if walls are plumb. Visual and audible alarms alert you when the laser is beyond its leveling range. Adjust their vertical position manually. Mount these lasers to a tripod (not included) to level at a greater range of heights.

Green Laser—Green lasers are four times brighter than red lasers, so you can see the beam outdoors and in bright lighting. They’re also easier to spot from far away. These lasers include a magnetic target, which you can mount at the height you need to reflect the beam, making it brighter and easier to see from a distance.

Combination Six Crosshair Line Automatic Leveling Laser Levels

No need to reposition these lasers as you work around your room—crosshairs on every surface give you all the reference points you need. They are a good choice for level, plumb, and square applications, such as aligning doors and windows on multiple walls. If you set them on a surface, they level themselves within about 4° and indicate when they are out of level. You can turn this function off when you want to make sure your crosshair is level with something other than the Earth.
