This is the best laser I've ever used hands down. I've used (before I started my own business) Spectrum Physics, Topcon, Hilti, and Robotools. I used to think the Spectrum Physics were the best, but this is better than the Spectrum in the fact that it has the battery which helps two ways... first off, you never run out of power. Secondly, because there's no wires hanging down the wall, I don't have to worry about someone tripping over the wire and pulling the laser off the wall (when I'm doing drop ceilings). The last company I worked for had Topcon and Hilti lasers and they are very nice, but they just don't seem to hold up... you can tell immediately when you open the box that this product is built like a power tool. I bought a Robotools laser and gave it to one of my guys to use (I never used it myself), but he hated it so I sent it back. Too bad because it's cheap. I bought this one from my local dealer for around $1250 -- also with a free tripod. At $1199 this is a very good deal. I'm not usually one to write reviews, but I've been using these things for years and now that I own my own business I have a greater appreciation for quality (how long till my guys destroy it). I think Dewalt people really did their homework with this one.

Have used it for a week now - and am very satisfied. Easy setup - remote is great feature (wish it had a power on and off button). Have used it inside and outside with great results. Would recommend it highly. This unit is replacing a Spectra Physics older laser unit - what an improvement.

I have not used a roatating laser before, but I can't imagine a better unit. DeWalt really did their homework. It is more, but you get what you pay for. Setup is a breeze and all the accesories are top notch and work great.

My guess is that these reviews were all written by DeWalt's marketing department. The day after I bought this rotating laser, it stopped working, and I had to argue with the dealer to get it warrantied. In addition, I found it time consuming and not so simple to set up. I won't buy another laser from DeWalt.
