Laser level - which one to choose and how to use it?

The laser level is a small device that is useful in many construction, repair and finishing works. Thanks to him, you can not only hang the picture directly, but also cut the panels or hang the ceiling. How to choose the right device for you? We advise.

What is a laser level and what are its types?

The laser level is a tool that makes hanging wall shelves or laying tiles no longer a problem - in terms of maintaining an ideal vertical or horizontal position. In fact, it can be said that with the help of this gadget it will be easier to perform almost any repair operation that requires precision. The technology used in the laser level is a modern and much more advanced version of the water level.  

This equipment has several types, each of which is worthy of attention. However, before choosing a specific model, check out the features of individual products in order to buy the right one for you. What is the best laser level?

Which laser level to choose?

As you already know, the hardware in question has different versions that are worth paying attention to. Which laser level to choose?

• laser level 360 - a type of spirit level, also known as a flat laser. This is hardware that allows you to draw several straight lines around the device. How it works? For example, you set up a spirit level in the center of a room and it projects a straight line onto every wall, floor, and ceiling. An excellent product of this type is, for example, the Drillpro 4D 360 laser level.

• Cross laser level - this type is most often used by professionals, because. the transverse level is equipped with a multi-plane laser (analogous to 360), and in addition it can determine right angles. An additional plus is that the cross laser can be used both outdoors and indoors! If you want to choose a good transverse level, NEO's TOOLS 76-100 is worth considering.

• Self-ionizing laser level - that is, as the name implies, this model quickly and easily determines the plane on which it is located. Thanks to him, you draw straight lines, which the tool can tell you with a clear sound signal. It is worth considering a model from Bosch, which combines the features of several spirit levels, and at the same time is a self-ionizing device.

• Laser level with rangefinder is a type of spirit level for work requiring distance determination. Due to the large ranges, the spirit level measures a much greater distance than a standard one equipped with a ruler can do. An example of such a spirit level is a DeWalt cross laser with a rangefinder.

What features should a laser level have? Rating is not needed as it all depends on what you want to use it for. However, there are parameters that should be paid attention to by anyone who plans to purchase this equipment. The most important of these are: measurement range (i.e. how far and how large a measurement can be determined by the device), operating time (determined based on battery or battery capacity), equipment (i.e. tripod, case, etc.) and of course the price.

Laser level - how to use it?

The laser level is not only extremely useful for building and renovation work, but also easy to use. It is enough to point the device at a specific plane and activate its measuring devices using the appropriate sliders or buttons.. When turned on, the spirit level projects a beam of light onto the surface, which you can refine later if you move something. In case of problems, each manufacturer provides a user manual with this model.

These tools are powered by rechargeable batteries or batteries and come in a variety of sizes. From large, professional ones to compact ones that can also handle special tasks. Laser levels are sometimes equipped with tripods that make it easier to aim the equipment on a plane, or a cover that allows you to conveniently carry it.

The spirit level will allow you to avoid drawing lines on surfaces (which are often difficult to clean afterwards) and, depending on the model, will determine the right angle, as well as allow you to measure long distances (for example, 30 m), which will greatly facilitate your work. So let's use this modern solution to make sure all measurements are simple and correct.
