5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic tool, April 26, 2010

By

This review is from: Bosch GPL3T 3-Point Torpedo Laser Alignment Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have tried many laser/leveler tools in the past, and some, like the FatMax self leveling multiline laser have not been a waste of money. OK, not the same money as the big professional lasers. But mostly a waste. So rather skeptically got this Bosch unit but only after being happy with the Bosch DAF220K electronic protractor for cove mouldings on cathedral ceilings. I had been installing a 100' aluminum and glass deck fence on a sl wavy seawall and also needing level footings on a bi-sloping deck and was frustrated with the wind and gravity messing the chalklines. My other lasers just couldn't be trusted over such a distance for flush and level and my 4 ft precision level was too long for final plumb of the 3 ft stiles.
So I bought this unit. Rarely has a tool made my life so much easier. Maybe just luck this one was so well calibrated that the bubble level on the adjustable stand got me within 3/32th inch of level at 100 ft! That little magnetically held stand is what makes this unit so useable for such a distance. Of course the dot is larger and fuzzier, but still bright enough during the day to get my mark. Thus was able to adjust the footing for the base of each stile and keep the distance to the bottom and top rails constant. Then turning the LED off, it was perfect as a torpedo level to give my plumb adjustments. Checking with my 4 ft level it was right on every time. (It also doesn't hurt that the design and workmanship are superb, the picture above doesn't do it justice, important when one loves precision tools, they just feel and look better.) Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" tool, August 4, 2010

This review is from: Bosch GPL3T 3-Point Torpedo Laser Alignment Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I borrowed this from my dad, and I don't think he's getting it back. I had to dig a 30' drainage ditch with a 15' ditch coming into it off the downspout. This laser level allowed me to get to work immediately and measure on the fly. No messing with string and stakes.

The leveling platform is brilliant. I threw down a 4x4 in my yard, set the level on it, and within a minute had the line leveled out down the length of the 30' ditch.

A big plus for me is that this unit operates on AAA batteries, which means replacing them or going to rechargeable is a whole lot cheaper than watch batteries.

Another big feature, though I didn't use it, is that this laser level will attach to a standard camera tripod. How convenient is that?

As a final thought, you know how when you start using a new tool you always think to yourself, "if this tool had _____, it would be better"? Well, the only thing I've come up with after using this tool is that I wish the carrying case had a Velcro strap to hold the base plate. That's it. That's all I could come up with. There is no way that I can see to make this laser level better.

5.0 out of 5 stars better On/Off switch than Dewalt, April 24, 2011

This review is from: Bosch GPL3T 3-Point Torpedo Laser Alignment Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

The laser is brighter and smaller than the similiar Dewalt I had. The on/off switch is improved also. I had three dewalt lasers that were all exchanged until i gave up because of faulty switches. Other coworkers complained of the same problem with them. Don't use cheap batteries or the switch on these wont work either. If the positve tip of the battery sticks out too far the laser wont turn off. You can either tap the battery tip down or just toss the batteries it comes with and use some good ones. I almost returned this until I fixed the battery problem. Now the switch works great. You would think they would try the batteries they send first.These are invaluable for pipe fabrication.
