Factory-Reconditioned Toolz RB01001R RoboLaser Level

by Toolz - Reconditioned

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This is a reconditioned power tool. Reconditioned generally means that the tool has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the tool back to like new condition. Some tools may contain cosmetic blemishes. Same warranty as new.

RoboLaser is a remote controlled, wireless, self-leveling system that gives the accuracy of a $2,000 laser beacon. There are no time-consuming level adjustments, no leveling screws, and a tripod is not required. Dual tripod mounts are built-in to accommodate 1/4- by 20-inch and 5/8-inch. Simply place on any surface, roughly level it out by sliding the base unit on the solid-metal spherical base, and the self-leveling mechanism does the rest. Accurate to 1/8 of an inch over 100 feet. The remote control lets you aim the dot while you stand next to the target. In a matter of minutes, using RoboLaser and a simple chalk snap-line, interior carpenters can lay out an entire room with perfectly level reference lines. With only one button to push, you'll level within 10 seconds.

What a great tool. Paid for itself in one job. I'm a professional cabinet/fixture installer and I use this level on virtually every job. I can set it up in the middle of any room and have level reference points in 5 minutes. A process that used to take two of my guys up to an hour. The three speed remote is handy AND fun to use. I just carry it in my bags and can get a level reference point anywhere in the room in seconds. Anyone that's ever installed long runs of slatwall knows how handy that can be.

Some (minor) problems. The 9-volt battery constantly disconnects in the remote. Since the cover is screwed on (with a flat head no less) I always had to run back to my toolbox to open it. After a few trips... I crammed some packing foam in and it hasn't slipped since. Also... the switch on the remote is kinda "loose" and is easy to switch on accidentally. Not a big deal... just make sure the base unit is off when you pack it up. (Which you should anyway, moving these levels with the pendulum unlocked is bad for them)

A more critical problem is that the laser point will "spread out" over distance. This is typical of "cheaper" lasers. At about 100' the "dot" grows to about a one inch circle. Since I'm usually working in 10-15000 sq. foot stores... this can be a hassle. However, the center of the dot is always level... just calls for a keen eye.

This is a great tool. I tested it against a $3,000 rotating (spinning) laser level system at one job and only went slightly out of level (1/8" down over 200'). ...

I use a simple camera tripod for my level. ...The block threads right into the unit same as it would on a camera.

I also have a robo-tools 5 beam laser unit that I LOVE!

i am a professional carpenter and let me tell ya, this tool is worth the investment. we have built 2 decks and sided 4 houses using this laser. now we wonder how we ever got by without it. the remote is a must as it enables one person operation. uses AA and 9v batteries. i would recommend this to anyone who wants to up their quality and speed of construction.
