Editorial Review:
Need a reliable straight line without spending a bundle? This is our choice. Granted, this laser's not self-leveling, but it's easy to level and does produce a dead-on accurate horizontal or vertical line. It attaches easily to a wall with either the magnetic hanging pin or the included drill anchor wall mounts. Because it's a single pin hanger, adjustments are as easy as the touch of a finger. Nice storage bag keeps the tool clean and protected. Just the right tool for the homeowner who's adding a chair rail, wallpaper border, shelving, cabinets, tile, or a host of other projects. You could spend more for a self-leveling unit, but we think this suits most homeowner's needs.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Worst Laser Level Ever:
This is awful. I can't believe I spent $5 on it - what a waste of $$! The line is completely inconsistent and even curves downward. There's no way it's level. This is at best a kids' toy and not a professional tool.
good concept, incomplete design:
I purchased mine for $5 at a clearance bin at one of those big hardware outfitters. A great price considering it started off at $30. The concept of a magnetic base was great but the magnet is too weak to hold itself up, even on a sheet of iron. It could've been really usefull with a stronger magnet for leveling a row of server cabinets in a computer datacenter and I guess I'll try to retrofit a stronger magnet in it. I haven't given the pinhole mounts a try yet but since you have to make a hole in... more info
Poorly designed, poorly engineered.:
The purpose of this tool is to project a relatively long and straight laser line for alignment, construction, or what have you. As an engineer and general fan of Black and Decker's products, I was sadly surprised to find out that this product is neither useful or accurate. The good news:
It runs on a 9v battery (cheap and easy to replace). Comes with two different mounting options in addition to the magnetic base. The bad news:
1. The line is inconsistently bright along it's... more info
Not what you think it is...:
"It's my favorite tool" or so I told my kids when they gave it to me for my birthday. In reality, it is a basic laser pointer in a fancy package. Yes, it produces a straight laser line on the wall or floor, but you need to use a manual level to get it correct. It is difficult to hang on the wall and cannot be done without putting a small nail hole in a spot where you probably don't want one. Spend the extra money and buy a better mounting, self leveling and more accurate one if you need things to be... more info
