As a Christmas gift I received a Laser Pro laser Tool kit:
http://www.teamproducts.com/items/sh...D=254&CATID=15 The 16" level in the kit actually seems pretty decent, matches up with my other levels and the laser seems to project in a line somewhat related to the body of the level. Probably somewhat useful if I ever need anything leveled. Though not pictured on the webpage above, the kit comes with a little "3-1 tool" which is basically a 6" level, looks like a pen with a v-grooved flat on one side, bubble level on top, useless screwdriver bit in one end and a laser light in the other end. One would think, and the instructions imply, that this unit could be used as a laser level?? No so, at least not very accurately. While fooling around I noticed that the laser beam did not seem to point in the same general direction as the rest of the tool?? Hmmm?? Found that the actual laser unit is mounted in a small tube that is inserted in the end of the level under a crew on cap, removable so you can install new batteries, once inserted the small tube rotates freely in the level and can be spun with your fingers. Nothing fits real tight, but it should be reasonably accurate IF done right?? You would hope.............. If I lay the level on a table with the laser projected on a wall 6 ft away I can pretty accurately lay out an 11.5" circle on the wall by rotating the laser unit inside the level??? Ooops.......... Oh well, the dog likes chasing the beam around the living room carpet :-) Tom |
