This little thing has a lot of adjustment points, making it somewhat different than the rest of "laser levels" out there. But realize that those adjustments are mechanical in nature and can be impossible when you are trying to hold it steady against a wall. The problem I faced a lot using this is actually what the Amazon photo showed: to put against a wall and draw a line horizontally across the room. Now anyone who ever worked with framing knows that no wall is perfect. So any imperfection can result in distortion of line painted by the laser.

Personally I will recommend this for painting vertical lines, but not horizontal. To get horizontal lines right, get a auto-leveling laser.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for anyone's tool box, December 18, 2005

I bought this item because Strait-Line was one of the few laser levelers that didn't use pins/nails to secure itself to the wall. It uses the 3M self-adhesive pads. Each pad is good for one use, and I think it came with 4 pads in the box. I bought additional 3M pads at a large chain store in the mall (I won't mention names). Yes, buying additional pads will cost money, but it doesn't poke holes in your walls like the other products will.

The unit has 3 bubble leveling vials, one for each axis. Initially I only saw two of them, and when I fastened the unit to the wall, it was perfectly level on the first wall, but titled on the second wall. I then found the 3rd vial, and learned that the whole unit will tilt to get the line on the second wall level with the first; I was impressed.

It requires 2 AA batteries, which are not included.

This review is from: Strait-Line 6041103 X3 1/4-Inch at 20-feet Manual Level 2 Line Laser (Tools & Home Improvement)

My husband and I bought this for simply hanging frames in our apartment. It projected the laser line nicely across the walls and around the corner. It did get the job done but marking the laser line is a little rough on the eyes when you look at it up close, plus always the fear of accidentally turning your head and looking INTO the laser.
My main complaint though are those stupid sticky tabs. It only comes with 4 and they are pretty much 1 time use only. So once you run out of the sticky tabs, the level is useless until you buy more.
