Pros:

- You have horizonal and vertical levels that help adjusting it

- There are more than one way to put on the tripod

- the variable motion is very helpful

Cons:

- It takes some time to adjust it perfectly.

I received this for free when I purchased a GMC miter saw. It can take a lot of time adjusting it for level and you don't want to push to hard on it after you have leveled it or it could get slightly out of level again. My tripod has a wide base on it therefore it comes into contact with one of the rubber feet on the bottom of this level which makes it very hard to tighten this level down onto my tripod. It has different speeds for the 360 degree line so can make out the line in brighter conditions. It can also do something like a 30, 45, and 60 degree line on the wall by moving the laser head back and forth. This makes for an even brighter line. I suppose if I moved the rubber foot and filed down the raised plastic next to it, I could give this level a three star rating.

I got this item for free with the purchase of a compound sliding miter saw. I did not shop for this item but am glad that I have it. I have since used it countless times during projects around the house. The best use was for an 85 foot retaining wall. Difficult to see outside in the sun, even with the red glasses included in the bag. Inside the house it is a dream. Works horizontally or vertially with an adjustable base and bubble gauge. Comes in nice protective nylon case too.

This thing would jam on itself when adjusting the thumbwheels. It would stop spinning in most positions, which makes the adjustments worthless. I ended up removing the adjustable part, which lets the laser spin properly, but then you need a perfectly flat surface to put it on. It was cheap so i didn't expect too much from it, and I've been able to make it work by propping it up when i need to use it. Maybe I just got a bad one, but I would recommend investing more in a quality laser if you need to get heavy use of of it. I do like how it has a second beam out the top that gives you a perfect right angle. Also the beam length adjustment is a nice feature.
