this one came with a nice carry case a tripod which goes up to 4 ft., batteries, safety glasses, and the case has a holder for 4 batteries so I can carry an extra set all for $30 less. In addition to being like the other cross beam level that I used this one swivels on it's base which came in very handy. The job I just used it on was a pantry with slide out drawers, it was necessary to be able to mount the drawer slide exact and level on each side. 7 drawers each one was exact level front and back side to side. Set the tool on the ground marked the first lay out with a pencil installed the shelves and the slides measured up and put the level on it's tripod marked the next one and so on. There is a little crank handle which raises the mount for the laser head up about 1 foot the legs also extend in 2 parts each a foot at a time. When it was done the customer, my helper and my self were in awe of how beautiful the maple drawers looked and operated. one little push and they slid in till the hit the self closers and pulled in flush and even.
The slides were very nice and helped but the installation was so precise that no adjustment was needed on the slide just set the drawers on the slides and locked them and job done. When I looked at the name Johnson level I thought it familiar, my 6' level and my sheet rock square are both Johnson and they must be at least 20 years old . Hopefully this product will have the same longevity.
Again, an absolutely fantastic product. If you do many home projects that require straight line precision, I highly recommend this product.
Overall, I quite like this unit. It worked well for my needs. I used to own another, similar device that I paid >$300 for a number of years ago. This unit - while not as robust - is doing a decent job of replacing my old unit. What I like the most is it displays both horizontal and vertical lines, whereas my old unit only did horizontal.
Bear in mind this is a light-duty, consumer-grade device. The laser level head itself seems very well constructed for this price point and target market. I have knocked the unit over a couple of times (with it on its tripod), and it has survived a 5' drop onto a wood floor. No perceptible damage or impact, which is good. If you are going to use this in a construction environment, it needs to be able to handle some scuffs here and there. So, from a build-quality to price-point view of the laser level itself, I'd give it 5-stars.
The tripod OTOH is very flimsy and I plan to dig up my old pro-camera tripod that is decades old and use it instead. The tripod that comes with this unit should be considered only if you don't have a "real" tripod to use. It's a throw-away item IMHO. Thin, cheap aluminum. There are two big issues with the tripod from my perspective: a) it's too light weight, which means it's easy for it to be moved by accident, easily knocked over, and very susceptible to vibration; and b) it's too short. For example, I wanted to use this level to align a soffit in a room under construction, but was unable to utilize it for that particular task because there was no reasonable method of getting the level set to the necessary height (~8' off the floor). Caveat emptor if like me you are considering purchasing this for construction work. Though that said, I really like this laser level, so don't let that turn you off completely.
Here's my comprehensive list of 'pros' and 'cons' to help you whether this product will suit your needs before you make a purchase:
Pros:
1. Great price-point
2. Build quality of the level itself is good
3. Manufacturer claims self-leveling within 6° (all axes; x,y,z). I tested this and indeed it works, though I cannot confirm the maximum offset of 6°.
4. Displays a vertical and horizontal line simultaneously, so you get a cross (+) in the middle where the lines meet, at 0° vertical and horizontal axes. This is useful to ensure you have the device placed where you want it relative to your floor when using a tripod.
5. One of the brightest non-professional laser levels that I've used
6. Battery longevity is good (it requires 3-AA batteries; there is no wall plug)
7. Laser level may be detached from included tripod; has standard 1/4-20 tripod thread on the bottom of unit; bottom is flat and may rest on any suitable surface.
8. The (light) throw is good. I would estimate in a room with moderate to average lighting, you can easily get 16' of visible light. The included red tinted plastic glasses help increase that range slightly, or improve visibility in a brightly lit room.
Cons:
1. Tripod is very light-weight, and constructed of (I believe) thin aluminum. I'd say the tripod is suitable for indoor use only.
2. Useful indoors only as the laser light will be too dim outside unless an overcast day or at night; however, this is typical for consumer-grade products such as this one. Exterior-rated pro units typically don't use visible laser light anyway. This is not really a 'con' so much as a warning if you are considering outdoor use (i.e. don't).
3. The tripod's maximum height is quite short. I didn't measure it, but would estimate the maximum height at about 1m. Perhaps a little taller, but no more than 4 feet tall.
4. The unit cannot be used in any position other than flat horizontal. This means it's less useful for certain circumstances, such as drawing a line level on a wall. It can be done, but you must move it away from the wall to do so. Not a huge 'con', but noteworthy. It is conceivable one could use velcro or another method to "stick" the unit onto a vertical surface temporarily, but I would not recommend planning on doing that. The laser level unit is relatively heavy for it size.
5. The placement of the unit often puts the user or other persons in line-of-sight of the red laser. This is not a Class I device, which means it is NOT eye safe. Be careful especially if you have small children or pets that will be in the vicinity of your use of the device. [note: I have a background in LIDAR systems; I know what I'm talking about here! This device CAN damage your eyes. There is a warning on the device (required by FDA).]
6. The unit is very sensitive to vibration. Walking on an unfinished OSB floor in the same room as the unit, every time I took a step the laser light wobbled (note: I weigh 175 lbs. FWIW). Once the vibrations stop, the unit stops wobbling after 4-6 seconds.
7. Carrying case is relatively flimsy, but suitable for indoor storage. It is made of light-duty plastic.
I have used it for many applications on the tripod but many more off the tripod; all that is necessary is to place the unit on a surface or shelf, at any elevation you desire and it will work as long as that surface is half-way level.
Having access to this device has changed the way I work, for hanging a door frame, framing a wall or figuring out what is going on in a wacky room it is usually more convenient and accurate than a spirit level and I am finding the new ways to use this device to be about limitless.
