4.0 out of 5 stars Great rotary laser--German Quality for under $200., August 16, 2003

By	Pruitt Hall (Greensboro, NC USA) - See all my reviews

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!

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointed, April 2, 2005

By	Stephen L. Banks (Shawnee OK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars RoboToolz RT-3620 , November 15, 2008

By	Henry Y. Banquer "HYB" (Volcano, Hawaii) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I use this rotating laser with great accuracy.
It is really nice to layout perfectly square corners quick and accurately for buildings, footings and form work.
We use it for green and shade cloth houses to layout the column and/or cable anchor holes before drilling. Also laying out the holes for poured cement columns for building footings. We cast the columns with "Sona" tubes in the ground. As long as you take the time to layout and measure correctly the laser is a great help making fast 90 degree corners, measuring the excact "Sona" tube height and checking the placement of the tubes when we put them in the drilled holes. We then fill around the tubes with gravel followed by pouring cement in the tube.

Great value for the $, reliable, cuts layout and setup time and the RoboToolz customer service was the other positive thing, they answered all my questions before I purchased it.

I would say in 2-3 jobs it pays for itself in time saved, hassle and accuracy as opposed to only using strings, batten boards and water levels.
