Strait-Line 64001 Laser Level

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

If only this had been in our toolbox a year ago when we struggled to install a suspended ceiling in the basement. This little guy puts out an actual laser line vertically, horizontally, or at any angle. It's wonderfully simple and dead-on accurate. Just position the alignment notch with the guidance of the dual bubble levels, push the tabs to anchor the self-retracting pushpins, and raise the lens cover for hands-free accuracy. The recessed rubber grip offers sure handling, but this tool also sports an impact-resistant body, just in case. Hardly bigger than a 25-foot measuring tape, this tool will tuck nicely into any toolbox and serve decorators, builders, remodelers, and do-it-yourselfers equally well. It doesn't come with batteries, so have two AAs on hand. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

From the Manufacturer

Ready. Level. Fire. There’s a new standard in electronic leveling instruments--the Strait-Line Laser Level.

The easy-to-use, Strait-Line Laser Level offers one-person, one-touch operation which simplifies use to simplify your projects. Just point the Laser Level at the target, push the button, and a highly visible Laser Level--not a dot, will be cast up to 50 feet onto any work surface.

Designed for a wide variety of professional and do-it-yourself applications, the unique STRAIT-LINE Laser Line Generator casts a line on any surface without leaving a mark. Hang a picture or wallpaper, lay tile or hardwood planks, install shelving, or drill through multiple studs to run wire--every project is straight, accurate, and perfomed faster when you use the Strait-Line Laser Line Generator. The specially designed laser skips over small imperfections, moldings, and uneven surfaces, casting a continuous line. Pushpins in the bottom of the unit let you secure the laser to walls or other surfaces and align objects with a single hand. Dual leveling vials mounted on the unit ensure correct alignment every time. Includes carrying pouch.

5.0 out of 5 stars New uses all the time, September 25, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Strait-Line 64001 Laser Level (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this unit a few weeks ago and I find new uses for it almost everyday. Originally I bought it to help me shoot a reference line for a tile floor I laid. It worked great for that, so I used it to hang some pictures at the same angle as my hand rail was on my steps, then I used it to line up some shelves in the garage and for mounting my surrond speakers the same height throughout the room. I recommend this for anyone who does anything around the house or in the garage.

I recently bought this level and as a carpenter that works alone a lot of the time i have found this to be a super little reference tool. Works great for putting up suspended ceiling tracks in particular.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great idea but needs to be more accurate, October 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Strait-Line 64001 Laser Level (Tools & Home Improvement)

I could think of a thousand uses for this until I discovered that the horizontal level wasn't accurate. I was attempting to align two pictures and found that when the horizontal level bubble showed the unit to be level, it was actually off by about 1 inch every 6 feet.

I've contacted the manufacturer and received a reply that the issue was forwarded to the product manager. So far no response from the product manager.

So like the title reads, great idea but isn't useful it it's not accurate.
