I purchased this laser level ... to assist with the surveying on a long cement driveway project. The driveway was 120' feet long and was much longer than traditional water level & line level techniques would remain accurate. The dw072kd arrived ... in great condition. It was relatively simple to set up, even for one person. Some have complained that this unit is not an autoleveler, but I specifically chose it for that property. In about 15 minutes, I was able to position the beam so that it struck the top of the curb cut at one end, and the top of the garage slab 120' away. Then, the beam illuminated the correct position of the top of the forms all the way along, removing any need for a grade rod or correction measurements. I've also set it up in a true-level position to layout an 80' section of fence, and position a drop ceiling. One the fence, I double-checked level with a water-tube-level, and found the laser well within the promised 1/4 inch in 100' (it was spot-on perfect). One caution, if you're working outside, you will definitely need to purchase the ... laser detector, as the beam isn't visible for more than 10' in sunlight, although in the shade, it's readily located 40' away. All in all, I'm very happy with the purchase. For most do-it-yourselfers this will be a good investment. Battery life seems good, this one's been going about 20+ hours on the first set of D-cells i put in it.

This product is fast to set up and easy to use, I think it took about 5 minutes to get started. I only wish it came with a tripod and a grade stick but these can be picked up very easy from amazon or major home improvement stores etc.
