Top 15 laser levels

Not so long ago, in the construction, repair and other similar works, the usual liquid (bubble) level was an indispensable tool. But with the development of technology, the tendency to use time-tested tools has changed. A series of more accurate laser levels with less error, simple and practical to use, arrived. Initially, the improved device was available only to professionals, but soon went into mass production. But, as always, a good tool is interspersed with frankly bad models, the accuracy, calibration and quality parameters of which leave much to be desired.

Anticipating the event, we have put together all the models of laser levels that deserve your close attention. Each instrument presented in the rating passed a painstaking selection that included monitoring of user feedback, the subjective opinion of experts in the field of measuring equipment, as well as a comparison of the total set of key parameters.

Top low-cost laser levels

Low-cost laser levels - the optimal solution for the home, a number of tasks that do not require filigree accuracy. And the point here is not so much in quality as in the notorious characteristics. As a rule, such levels have a small working range and an extremely simple structure without any additional equipment. They are ideal for home, non-professional use.

3 Fit 18605

At a modest price, this tool has a good range, about 30 meters, and therefore it can be used for work both indoors and on a construction site. At the bottom of the level there are connectors for mounting, thanks to which it can be mounted on a tripod. To calibrate the slope on the upper part has a built-in bubble level. Due to its low cost and laser beam spreading distance, this model will be very useful when carrying out landscape works on a home plot or for a more specific case - installing suspended ceilings where increased accuracy is required.

Advantages:

• very low cost;
• high range;
• acceptable accuracy.

Disadvantages:

• Sometimes there is a failure of the laser due to the departure of the contact from the button.

Low-cost laser level, optimally suitable for accurate marking of any material in the sheets (drywall, panel plates). Gives one bright enough red beam at an angle of 90˚. The work is simplified due to the presence of a built-in clamp for fixing the device on the edge of a sheet up to 16 mm thick. For work in the mode of the surface laser the special button is provided.

The measurement range without the use of a receiver is only 3 meters, so the device is suitable exclusively for the home. For its price, the model is quite decent, made well, stably working with only two AAA batteries.

Advantages:

• inexpensive but quality model;
• built-in clamp for fixing;
• well visible ray.

Disadvantages:

• short range measurement.

Top Point Laser Levels

Point laser levels have an extremely simple design. In fact, these are ordinary laser pointers, which are set strictly according to the level and projecting the beam along the entire length of a given segment. Due to this, it is possible to place the reference points on the working surface, and then proceed to carry out repairs according to the level obtained.

3 Leica lino p5

Professional construction laser level is ideal for the removal of vertical lines and alignment. Used for finishing and construction work. At small changes of a horizontal there is a tool self-leveling. The device is very light - it weighs only 320 g. Despite the fact that it works on three standard AA batteries, they last for 20 hours of continuous operation. And the use of a special technology provides a powerful red beam, which is clearly visible even in the daytime, in the sun. The radius of action reaches 30 meters with a minimum error of 0.3 mm. The repair facilitates the projection of five laser beams and three points at the same height.

Top Linear Laser Levels

This is the most common type of laser level. Despite the fact that the point tools are cheaper, and rotational levels have greater efficiency and versatility, the demand for linear laser levels does not cease to fall. They represent the “gold middle” of functionality and accuracy, which is sufficient for any kind of repair work.

3 ADA Cube 3D Basic Edition

The most compact and inexpensive laser level is the ADA Cube 3D Basic Edition. Made in the form of a cube with a side edge of 6.5 centimeters, it takes up very little space, which is its characteristic feature. Despite its compact dimensions, this level emits two laser beams with a measuring range of 20 meters, intersecting at a source at 90 degrees. In this regard, it is convenient to use when moving corners and redevelopment of premises, laying floor tiles.

Advantages:

• exceptional compactness;

Rotational laser levels are a high-precision professional tool for constructing a single-level horizontal plane in large enclosed spaces or on building sites. They have the greatest range of action among all laser levels - about 200-600 meters. At the heart of the design is a point-turning laser, rotating with a strictly specified frequency. This type of mechanism is convenient, and allows you to cover all 360 degrees around the level.

3 Condtrol UniX 360 Green Pro

The compact model of the rotational laser level creates a horizontal circular plane of 360 degrees and two orthogonal vertical planes. The measurement range is 50 meters. To increase it to 100 meters, you need to use a receiver. The beam is green, very bright, so the device is suitable even for work on the street. One of the main advantages of the device can be considered its increased strength. The laser level is not damaged even when falling from a sufficiently large height. The manufacturer also provides automatic alignment, light indication, the ability to work from the network in the absence of batteries.

Advantages:

Top Combined Laser Levels

Combined laser levels are complex tools that combine two or three laser alignment methods. As a rule, for professional use it is advisable to buy exactly these levels, since they are not inferior to individual laser instruments, and their functionality is superior to the latter many times.

3 Bosch Gll 3-50 professional

Bosch Gll 3-50 professional is much more expensive than competing models with similar characteristics. Technically, it does not exceed them either in the measurement range (50 meters with the receiver), or in measurement accuracy.
