Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Stanley SP5 5-beam self-leveling laser is the 21st Century's must-have productivity and accuracy enhancing, leveling, and alignment tool. The MP5 offers five independently self-leveled 650nm highly focused laser beams, providing accuracy of 1/4-inch at 100 feet. With this versatile device, you can plumb level and square instantly with no bubbles to level -- just turn it on and go to work. The SP5's unique self-leveling and dampening system is the quickest to settle the beam, and there are no beam offsets -- because they all come from the same axial plane. This reduces errors and set-up time all around. The flashing out-of-level sensor eliminates rechecks and costly mistakes, and the on/off switch locks the lasers in place when they're not in use.

This kit is ideal for a wide variety of construction professionals and do-it-yourselfers, including plumbers, electricians, carpenters, builders, remodelers, machinery installers, interior decorators, dyers, and more. The SP5 includes the universal mount with a magnetic base and mounting strap.

I purchased one of these over three years ago to establish a square corner for a poured concrete wall down in a trench. It worked very well. Since that time, I have found many other uses for the 5-way laser. Mostly, I use it for building layout by checking plumb, level, and square all at the same time. In a pole barn, you can simply place the level on the ground next to a post, climb up to the top with your tape measure and measure over to the laser beam. You will never again worry about a conventional plumb bob blowing in the wind. This 5-way laser is best suited for medium to big projects - especially outdoors - not for indoor picture hanging. It does not project a line on the wall. It projects a precision dot in five directions: Up, Down, Left, Right and Forward - all 90 degrees apart. (I own a picture hanging style level laser for things such as indoor work on a wall and I also own a Spectra Precision dual slope laser with a 3000' range (for those really big jobs)). All things considered, this Stanley Fat Max 5-way laser is one of my favorite tools for building layout, concrete form layout, and quality control. An amazing tool that fits in the palm of your hand.

I'm a contractor and use this laser level almost every day on the job. We've been using this exact model for over a year. We use it on a regular camera tripod because the tripod is easy to adjust. I think it would be fairly difficult to use without a tripod. We mostly use it for hanging seamless gutters. It also works well for lining up siding on a house or for running drainage or plumbing. As noted in another review, this laser level is cheaper at Home Depot. Sometimes the dots are difficult to see in bright sunlight. The self leveling feature is what makes this level so great.

I bought this laser to help me in building a deck away from our home, yet still in perfect, offset alignment to the attached deck we have. I found the SP5 difficult to use on my camera tri pod. I wanted to plumb down to a pre marked spot on the ground and still be aligned with the mark on the deck behind me; finding the same location I had marked from the deck surface on a stake at the far end of the projected deck. This way, I could easily find square for the ajacent post placements. The beam is hard to see without getting within twenty feet of the target, making it hard to be in excess of twenty feet from either target. However, when I pulled a line from the deck to the desired location, measuring down to the new deck's height, I found (with a line level) the location was exact and perfectly level. I wish there was a tri pod friendly to this SP5 so it could do its job in finding square in open places outside easier. The beam is accurate and would work much better in low light just before dark falls. I can't rate this bad because it does do what it says, it is just more difficult and limited than I was led to believe it would be to use. For inside projects, it does very well.
