by RoboToolz

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The RT-7690-2 is a self-leveling, remote-controlled, simultaneous level and plumb rotational laser system for interior and exterior applications. The dual pendulum self-leveling system levels and plumbs without ever having to move the system. It has both audio (beeper) and visual (blinking laser beam) out of level indication that alerts the user if the unit has been bumped out of level after intial set up. It has two modes, the line dither/scan and spin modes, allowing the user to customize beams for interior and exterior applications. The line dither/scan mode has six adjustable line lengths allowing the user to select beam length and brightness to meet their specific needs. The spin mode has three different speeds allowing the user to select beam brightness based on lighting conditions. The included laser beam detector/receiver can be used to detect the laser beam in lighting conditions where the beam is not visible. The radio frequency remote control allows for non-directional, unobstructed operation of all laser functions. The remote also allows for single person operation. It can be easily recalibrated on the job site. The RT-7690-2 includes the unit, laser detector/ RF remote control, rod bracket, laser enhancement glasses, AC/DC adapter, and kit box. Operates on 4 "D" batteries (not included) or A/C power adaptor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cautiously optomistic, August 24, 2003

This review is from: Robotoolz RT-7690-2 Self-Leveling, Remote Controlled Horizontal and Vertical Rotational Laser (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this model after the less expensive RT-7210 died after 10 months and some problems, kinda foolish I know but I was and am hoping this one is built better.I won't go through what it does or doesnt do, the literature covers that very well, my major concern was that it did exactly what they said it would do, not a small issue since if you have done any homework on these things you'd realize that the performance claims represent a lot of bang for the buck. I confess this is only day one on a 100' x 70' concrete form, but out of the box this thing came within 3/32" over 140' to a trusted ERP, which in my book is dead on,....surprised the heck out of me. In broad daylight, outside, I kind of miss my faint red dot of the other model ( but not chasing it), the target built into the remote works very well. Pretty impressive for the money..if if if if it continues to perform as well in the future. I will handle this thing like I did my old one, a fragile christmas tree bulb. I've taken the time to write this because these review threads have helped me in the past, they are a good idea as long as you don't have manufac. reps. sneaking comments in.

This review is from: Robotoolz RT-7690-2 Self-Leveling, Remote Controlled Horizontal and Vertical Rotational Laser (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this to build a 60' x 130' clear span arena. I have used just about every feature on the product, and it worked great (and SOLID) every step of the way. Used it to: line up post holes, plumb posts, calibrate level/height for beams/trusses. working alone, or with a small crew, this unit is a BIG time-saver. no problems with battery life, reliability, repeatable marks/measurements, outdoor job conditions. the sensor on the remote control was a HUGE help, and is dead on (within 1/8th inch) over 130' span. This was a good buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily the best value for the price, January 15, 2006

This review is from: Robotoolz RT-7690-2 Self-Leveling, Remote Controlled Horizontal and Vertical Rotational Laser (Tools & Home Improvement)

Owned my own business for 10 yrs, Union carpenter for 20 yrs. I don't recommend a tool lightly but I recommend this laser without reservation. In the Last 2 yrs I've used this to remoddle 2 Stop and Shop stores, 1 school, and Electric Company switching station and a Health Care Clinic. The companies I work for usually have several different lasers on the job but everyone tries to get to the toolbox first for the Porter Cable. Best value for the money. It's definately on a par with any laser out there. Don't waste your money buying a more expensive unit.

Pros; Price
Accurate and "repeatable" marking up to about 100'
Remote allows for easy one person setup and to turn unit
on only when needed saving battery life
Dither mode
Good case
Pendulum lock for transporting
Operates off 110 or batteries
Bright laser beam



Cons;
Button layout allows you to accidentally change position
of laser after it's been setup.
Doesn't come with rechargeable batteries
The remotes all use the same frequency so if you have more
than 1 unit on the job you may be adjusting more than
your own laser
