I was the same way with my first red three beam laser. Such a game changer. It makes easy tasks even easier. Thanks for watching

You’re welcome, having a laser is a game changer. You will find that you use it for almost everything. Enjoy!

That’s to bad that happened, how are you liking the stabila?

Thanks for watching! and thanks for leaving such a nice comment !

You’re welcome, thanks for watching!

the base is a bit wobbly on uneven surface, but the brightness of the laser beats out dewalt. however i haven't compared it to the new dewalt laser.

yeah I guess I'm a bit spoiled with the Laser, always wanting more run time on those batteries, the 3amp are pretty good, but the 4amp is to big and you can't put the laser on a tripod properly, I recently also got the Milwaukee 3 plane green laser, the Battery loads from the top, so you can get larger batteries in it, how ever it is a lot bigger and way heavier! cheers

For what you want to do you would need to buy 2 accessories - 1) laser receiver (Bosch LR8 is really good). You use this to detect the laser line when you cant see it with your eye and that's usually going to be outside. I use my GLL330CG for framing and a lot of other things. In most cases, I don't need to see the entire line, I just need to know where the line intersects a floor joist or some other point. You just sweep/slide the laser receiver across where you think the laser line is and it will start beeping when you get close and when you're dead on it it makes a solid no beep screech (really annoying!). That lets you know where you're laser line is and you mark that point with a pencil/pen. The opposite way is you can set the receiver on a target point (stationary point) and then move the laser line to line up on it. That helps you line your laser level line up on 2 target points. I bought this laser level and the LR8 receiver and tested it out on a full sunny day Florida sunshine on a dock and it was detecting my laser no problem at 180 ft. I haven't tested it on distances longer than that but it rates it at 330 ft. The other accessory you'll need is a fine motion control adapter that gives you fine control spin, left/right, forward/back. The left/right forward/back is not the problem. The spin is where it gets tricky. If you wanted to move (by spinning the laser) your laser line 1/16th of an inch on a target point exactly 100 ft away, that means you have to spin the laser at exactly 3/1000 of 1 degree. Thats VERYYY slight movement control to make that happen. You would need to buy whats called a "manual high precision rotation stage" to get that type of spin control. There are many different grades of those that can go anywhere from 60 dollars to a few thousand dollars. They are mainly used for scientific instruments but you can hook a laser level up to them as well.

i'm pretty sure they are serviceable

Yeah good point. It hasn’t failed me yet but it could be designed a bit better. This is still my go to laser for everything I do. Never disappoints. Enjoy!

@@hammerandhome I bought a GLL3330CG about a year ago and I love the hell out of it. I use it indoors/outdoors for a lot of different things. The 3 must have accessories would be a laser receiver, telescoping pole, and fine tune motion adapter. The Huepar fine tune adapter will work for about a year and then the motion gears begin to fail b/c they're very cheaply made. It was fine for lining up on 2 points within 20 ft of each other. If you need to line up on 2 points that are over 20 ft then that's where you might want to buy these things called "manual high precision rotation stages." They are for instruments which require very fine control motion movement (like microscopes, optical lenses, fiber lasers, etc). A rotation stage is for spin control. Linear stages are for fine control left/right/forward/back control. I bought a cheap $60 60mm diameter rotation stage b/c my Huepar was worn out. The spin control is so much more crisp and fine tune than the Huepar spin control was. You want to buy a minimum of a 60mm diameter one b/c any size smaller and the laser level will be too heavy for it. 60-120mm diameter tables are ideal. The larger the diameter table the better the motion control but more expensive they are. They can go anywhere from $60 to several thousand dollars depending on what you're buying.

this one can lock the laser beam in place with out the self levelling action. so you can line things up on angles

i honestly couldn't tell you, I haven't looked at the spectra line.

ill give it a try and get back to ya

Bora .So at 3 feet from a wall I’m Abel to see the laser no problem on a wall outside about 15 feet away. Very little fading. When I was choosing between DEWALT and Bosch I went with the Bosch mainly because the Brightness of the laser is better than the Dewalt’s ,even though I already have the DeWalt battery platform the Bosch just made more sense. Hope that helps

Yes that is perfect. That is the one I will buy. Thank you

not yet, it's on my list to do soon. the phone basically will allow you to change the brightness to 3 levels, you can turn it on and off, and select what laser beam you want to use. it will also tell you if it has been potentially dropped or disturbed, cold is usually the culprit behind this. if it shows up you should check it against another laser to make sure its fine, hope that helps

Lol, I’ll do a short showing it in real action

thank you! happy you enjoyed it

i've had the same issues with lasers, if your in a house and people are banging around your laser will definitely show it. but when nobody is around they are such a time saver. String never lies.Thanks for watching!!

If you need to find level for you fence it would be great. For your straight line, a string would be best.

thanks!

GLL3-80cg is slightly accurate 0,2mm/m VS 0,24mm/m. Also, it works with LR7 receiver with a total 120meter range instead of LR8 for 330cg with a total 100meter range.

the base is ok, it could probably be a bit better on the stability, i mostly use it on a wall or a tripod anyhow so it doesn't bug me. it gets the job done. thanks for watching

If you're needing to shoot vertical lines on a wall or lines on the floor you can just sit the laser level on the floor (either by itself or on the mount that comes with it) for that b/c if its on the floor and somebody bumps it its just going to fall on its side and it will probably be ok. If you are shooting horizontal lines on a wall then you are probably going to need the telescoping pole so you can slide the laser level up/down on the pole to match your laser lines to a certain height target point. In that case, the laser level is attached to the pole by a bracket that comes with the pole. The pole is sandwiched in between the floor and ceiling and it has a pretty good hold if you extend it out tight enough. The biggest risk in that case is somebody hitting the pole hard enough to "un-wedge" it then the entire pole and level starts to fall over. That would be shitty and hopefully your laser level wasnt up high on the pole. Honestly I have found no use for a tripod. It can give you a little bit of elevation but you can use the pole for that and get a much larger window of up/down than the tripod and its stronger hold if you set your pole tight b/w floor and ceiling. If you have a tripod and somebody accidentally hits it, its going to fall as far as you had the tripod extended out. The taller you set your tripod, the more floor space the legs take up and the farther the level is going to fall. I just either set on the floor or use the telescoping pole. The only thing I can think of a tripod to use is one that has a tilt head that can lock so you can shoot laser lines on an angle (like for a staircase or something).

Check out our laser playlist, we’ve received a few lasers with low price points that really impressed us!

Not a dumb question at all and you’ve probably completed this project by now but In case you haven’t , these lasers can do that for you. Even the more simple versions have the vertical line that will run right across the ceiling and down the wall!

@@ronaldcummings1363 You're right, I have completed it. Thank you for the reply. I bought a cheapy harbor freight laser, and dang was I impressed! I've used it several times and have been quite impressed with it. If I had this question, I'm sure someone else will too. For a diy'er, I don't know that you would have to get one of the fancy ones to get the job done. :-)

that is not normal to have two parallel lines on the ceiling, it will shoot two intersecting lines on the ceiling and the floor

@@hammerandhome ok thanks

I think this is one if the mist common FAULTS with a laser level, i believe if you return it most manufacturers will swap it out for you.

Beware of reflections off glass, mirrors or other reflective materials. This can give you a wrong/ false reading. Even when using metal studs and track it can reflect. Mark the line with a pencil first and then place your metal track. Hope this helped.

thankyou! you as well :)

Should be a link under the video, it’s an awesome laser

so I think the difference it that the 330 is green and the 80 is red

330cg for the US market (330ft) vs 80cg for the rest of the world (80m)? There appear to be slight differences with the buttons, but otherwise seems very similar

i'm not sure, I think it would be best to send it back to bosch if you need calibrating, if its broken they might replace it for you.

I totally agree!

Just buy the batterys that go with it, they are cheap

GLL3-80cg is slightly accurate 0,2mm/m VS 0,24mm/m. Also, it works with LR7 receiver with a total 120meter range instead of LR8 for 330cg with a total 100meter range.

it does but its a bit of a task to get it in there

On its way😊, thanks for watching

You got that right!

So you have to wear and use all the one brand of gear? how's your bosch jockstrap going?😁😁

샹 오늘 샀는데ㅜㅜ
