Amazon.com Review

Until the LaserLevel came along, there were two ways to hang pictures: One was to eyeball a blank wall, hammer in a nail, and hang your picture. Then you'd step back only to find it was too high and leaned to the right. The second way was to hold up the heavy frame while someone across the room called, "A little to the left, a little more--no, no, not that far." Now that we're in the 21st century, you can get rid of the guesswork using the LaserLevel.

Small and streamlined, the LaserLevel fits nicely into your back pocket or clipped to your shirt. Beside its state-of-the-art laser, it also has a 5-inch ruler on one side and a 12-centimeter measure on the other. One side of the level is flat, so you can balance it on top of whatever you're hanging and see whether it's straight.

Let's say you want to hang a mirror directly across the room from a bookshelf and the top of the mirror should be even with the top shelf. Press the endcap/switch to turn on the laser (which will remain on--you have to turn it off manually) and then place the level on top of the bookshelf, aiming it where you want the mirror to hang. A red dot will highlight the area so you can see exactly where to place your nail. It's also great for object identification. From across the room, point the LaserLevel at the tool you need, and your helper can fetch it for you.

You should never look into the LaserLevel nor should you shine it into another person's or animal's eyes, as it may damage them. Children should not use the laser level. Also, never disassemble the laser level other than to put in fresh batteries. Disassembly could result in radiation exposure. If the laser lens gets smudged, wipe it clean with a dry cotton swab. --Dana Van Nest

Pros:

• 3 tools in 1 compact package
• 500-yard range
• 1-year warranty

Cons:

• Need to remember to turn off laser when done

sure this looks good but really it isn't. the child lock doesn't work and the batteries run out way too fast.it does not go 500 yards , it goes to about 250 yards. this is a total RIPOFF i suggest you try another selection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exelent price for an exelent item, June 12, 2000

This laser pointer is great. I've had other laser pointers but this one, by far, is the best. There is one small problem, not to bad but it is kind of long, and if you'd like to keep it secretive in your pocket it may be noticabable. Other than that it is an exelent choice
