4.0 out of 5 stars Great rotary laser--German Quality for under $200., August 15, 2003

This rotary laser hails from Germany, a rarity in the under $500 rotary laser market. Similar products typically originate in China; finding a German made rotary at this price point is a serious find. Using the Robotoolz RT-3620 could NOT be easier; it only has 2 buttons; one is the ON/OFF and one is a 3 position mode button. It also has a shield over the rotary laser itself that allows you to further fine tune the laser for more accurate work. Ergonomics are superb; a chimp could work this laser. As with all rotary lasers, exercise caution to not look directly at the laser; it may be 'eye-safe', but I would make it a point to train yourself to keep your eyes away from it. If you're used to simple laser pointing devices, don't trick yourself into thinking this one isn't MUCH brighter; it is.

The RoboTools rotary laser can be used for plumb or level; it actually has two laser exits, one horizontal and one vertical, although you'd be hard pressed to use them both, concurrently. My only complaint, but one I knew before I purchased, is that this laser is NOT self-leveling. Self leveling is a great convenience, but RoboTools thoughtfully provided 3 bubble levels to allow you to get the laser in level across 2 planes. Fine tuning is accomplished with dial wheels that really fine tune the accuracy.

Overall, a great bargain on a well made, well engineered rotary laser. If you haven't used a rotary laser level, I can only state that once you do, you'll wonder how you EVER got along without them previously. They make hanging shelves and cabinets fun again!

I just received my Porter-Cable Robotoolz RT-3620-2K Rotating Laser System. The rotating laser visibly wobbles. I am in the process of investigating the return policy right now.
