Overview
Not a self leveling laser, this DEWALT is an optical telescope level that you set on a tripod and sight through. A partner holds the grade rod while you read elevations and turn angles on the horizontal circle.
Getting the instrument, tripod and rod in one kit means you can shoot grades the day it arrives. Optical sighting needs a second person and some practice, where a laser receiver could be read alone.
Who it's for
Builders, farmers and landscapers checking elevation over distance. People working alone indoors will find a laser level easier.
Pros and cons
- Tripod and rod included
- Reads horizontal angles
- No batteries for the optics
- Protected leveling vial
- Needs a second person
- Manual leveling at setup
- Warranty not listed
Performance notes
Accuracy depends on careful leveling at setup: once leveled, the bubble should stay centered through a full turn. Magnification sets how far you can read the rod clearly.
