Had been toying with the idea of adding one of these to my kit for a good while. I have now taken the plunge and invested after seeing this video. I could have got a 360 degree variant but for the amount I use it the cost didn’t’ warrant the outlay. This one is plenty good for my needs. Nice video Jordan keep them coming. 👍🏻

Can you use this for installing ceiling lights ? As I did have one (Bosch) only for one week and was stolen before I got to use it. Graeme

@stuartandrews4344 3 жыл бұрын

Looked at that Dewalt, but went with the Bosch GCL 2-15 G,as it also has two centred red plumb points which are projected onto floors and ceilings. Also have a Imex LX22G Cross Line Green laser level, which I lost during a workshop move,then found again after getting the Bosch.

@Ellis The DJ Same happend with my Bosch laser measure,misplaced it, so bought a Leica Disto D2 BT, (brilliant tool) then last week having a clear out I found the Bosch which had been lost 8 years earlier.

Got a question about the DWO88CG --- Is it easy to use for putting lines on the ceiling ? -- Or would I really need a 3D Laser Level for that ? Enjoyed your video.

@baddogentertainment6960 3 жыл бұрын

Noticed when you pointed it downwards it didn't try to level itself vertically. I mean it projected the laser downwards onto the table/floor. If it has that option, would come in handy for laying flooring square (without having to upgrade to the more expensive 3-4 beam models)

@chriswilcock4314 2 жыл бұрын

Does this project a vertical line from the floor and on the ceiling? I’m a little stumped as to whats what. Thanks

Hi my friend, thanks for the video. What is the difference between the green laser and the red laser is it just the colour

@Unc1eMike 3 жыл бұрын

One thing I would point out is that this model does not have a pendulum lock - something that's become fairly common even on entry level units. My old DeWalt DW087 is the predecessor to this (2 generations ago, but the design is unchanged) and after 15 years of job site use and being transported in the van, it's no longer within the specified accuracy (1/8 inch over 30 feet). I'm not sure if this occurred suddenly or over a period of time, but I'd think twice about buying a laser level without a pendulum lock.

@boyasaka Жыл бұрын

When would I use the lock ?? Thinking about buying my first laser

@Unc1eMike Жыл бұрын

@@boyasaka Any time you're not actively using the laser. It prevents the lock from moving and potentially getting damaged during transport. On lasers that allow the laser to be on while the, pendulum is locked, you can also use it to create a line that's not horizontal or vertical.

So curious question first time using my new laser. I was in a warehouse and had to run EMT pipe about 15 feet up on a wall and needed it straight across. could not figure out any way to get the laser up that high. There was really nothing to mount it to 15 feet in the air.is there a bracket that you can use to tilt the laser if you need to adjust it for height? Thanks

@fredA1234 Жыл бұрын

If it doesn’t have an adjustable bracket it’s pretty useless for horizontal lines because you would have to have it exactly the same height that you want the line. i’m new to using one I need help. Thanks again

I just purchased the DW08802cg and there is no instruction manual. I went to the Dewalt site and attempted to get the manual without any success. I am going to use the tool to hang a couple of cabinets and then return it to HD because I received the tool missing an item. (Unless a Dewalt rep reads this and contacts me)

The big question how bright is it outside and you failed in your review to demonstrate that. You covered everything but what we really want to know

@EdthePlumber 3 жыл бұрын

It’s great in shade If it’s bright sunshine still faint but I usually create a shadow and it’s good for 10m If you need they sell a laser finder thing. It beeps when you hit the laser and tells you to go up or down to get spot on (but it’s quite expensive)
