BOSCH CROSS LINE LASER LEVEL! THE GLL 30S
Рет қаралды 105,260
Күн бұрынCheck out this amazing Bosch Cross Line Laser Level, model #GLL 30S. This comes with 2@ AA batteries, a carrying pouch, and a MM2 flexible mounting device. This level is self leveling if you get it within 4 degrees of level. If it's more than 4 degrees, the laser light will blink every 3 seconds and hold the line in place for manual mode. This allows the user to create a laser line at angles for projects like a railing installation on a staircase. I found this tool very user friendly and accurate. If you have any questions about it, please ask and I'll be happy to respond.
Question of the day: If you had a cross line laser level, would you ever use a traditional 4' level again?

I have one and it is handy but it doesn’t make your standard level obsolete like you stated. When doing tile it’s nice to have the laser level but you still have to have a regular bubble level to work with as you work your rows up your laser line. Same with a bunch of other applications in remodeling. New tech in tools is nice but some of the classics will never be replaced out right. Otherwise your review was accurate and well done. 👍

Wow doggy!!! The Quick comnnect swivel mount is actually designed for your step ladder or framing studs or any similar fixed surface. The bracket is not for your camera bag! In fact you need no bracket at all because it mounts onto your camera's tripod using the threaded screw built into your tripod!

I just bought a hauper box1g green lazer because the blinking drives you nuts and you can only use this for self leveling, no manual mode, the hauper can be used in manual even use with either horiz or vertical lines individually, the bosch is good but the blinking will get under your skin believe me :)

If you point it up, you'll get a straight line to work with. The light will blink as you're working, just to let you know it's not level. The 3-plane laser is your best bet for ceiling work, but it's more expensive.

Instead of the lake comparison, could you not use a water level to check the level: water in a long clear tube?

Yes, absolutely that would work. I used to level piers for building structures with a water level. It's just as level as a lake or pond.

Once the level is over 4 degrees off, it will blink. If it gets slightly bumped, it will self level again.

It's either a defective unit, or it's not within 4 degrees of level. Sometimes it takes a good eye to get it close to level, so it doesn't blink.

Do you use a 4' level and a pencil to hang pictures? Are you ready to give that up and just use a cross level laser?
@lucasgrowsbestyt 6 жыл бұрын
You bet I would! Cross level lasers rock, only downside is they run out of batteries.
@MarkThomasBuilder 6 жыл бұрын
That's true. I'm guessing the batteries last a long time. The other advantage with the laser is that you don't have to put any pencil marks on the wall. The marks don't erase very well if it's a flat paint finish.

I rate it at 3 stars. I purchased this product. Its useful for the price but there's one flaw. If you use the device with a standard tripod, works great, but the clamp that comes with it is plastic and flimsy shit. The swivel head will definitely come loose after some time. make the clamp more solid and you'll get 5 stars from me. I'm returning it, as soon as i finish laying these tiles.
