I have one and have used it in a few applications, tile being one of them. I find it really useful in flooring. Once you dry fit and figure out what corner your starting in the laser is handy for a straight & level start line.
@@lalievigi7596 The GCL-2 with lock mode let you position it anyway you want. however, the idiots design the thing makes the laser blink in lock mode which annoy the heck out of me. Pretty much all the laser I could find in store bosch, dewalt you name it blinks in lock mode, probably shares the same shit logic board the idiot designed.
I’m so cheap i would be tempted to buy some foam rubber and one of the hard plastic ammo boxes they sell at Harbor Freight. That would protect it for a fraction of the cost of a Pelican.
Self levels? Only it’s perfectly level itself. It can’t attach to the ladder rungs like some reviewers demonstrate. We must have a bad ladder. We can’t get a horizontal line up above where the laser level is sitting. Well what good is that? Someone please explain how do a get a horizontal line about a foot down from the ceiling?
This Lazer is amazing and I use it as a professional high-end remodeler. Almost every day. There is nothing is wrong with it. Stack thing up and then set your tripod on that or just the Lazer on top of little things for baseboard height (low heights)
@@FieldGuidetoDIY i think you need to show people how to use it with a tripod and keep it level. Using the bracket it comes with showing the step of actually leveling the Lazer first. Show how to do this high and low.
I must be doing something wrong because I find this leveler does not work above the height of the tripod. So it has been pointless to me, it won't even get high enough for hanging a picture.
I bought it this week and immediately returning it for the same working height reason. I don’t have the time to rig up something higher than my tripod. I can use a measuring tape and a level at a fraction of the time to deal with this thing.
Anderson, it is NOT magnetic as other self-leveling laser levels are. You can use the included mount or put it on a tripod. Thanks so much for watching. Please let me know if you have other questions or any suggestions.
@FieldGuidetoDIY I figured out you have to level the self leveling level. If it is canted on any axis it will blink until it is brought to a level position. It definitely does not compare to some of the high end lasers I have seen in use on job sites by cabinet guys.

Still use this for hanging items on the wall a great tool for sure still in 2024-
Absolutely!

GREAT idea. Thanks so much for sharing!
What projects do you think this laser level would be best for? Wallpapering? Tiling? Paneling an accent wall? What are your thoughts?
Wallpaper should be illegal.

Thank you for making this video! Definitely helped me out!
You are so very welcome. I’m so glad it helped. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks
Absolutely!
The problem with this laser, it can not tilt. you always have to bring it to the same height as the horizontal line.
Very true. So if you want to cast a line to do a chevron pattern for example, this one would not work.
Which laser can tilt ?

That is what I was telling everyone..
Foe ceiling , you need to bring this up to the ceiling and fix it on somewhere not to be shaken. Useless..
Nice video, mate! I have this laser level and i'm looking for a hard case for it, such as ones made by Pelican or Plano... any ideas?

Great question, Wendy. Let me think on that. If anybody else has any suggestions, chime in.
@@FieldGuidetoDIY put the tripod on a table. I don't know why people can't grasp this concept. I stack boxes. Wood. Whatever you get it higher.

Does it put a line in the ground too?
Negative. This model only does the wall.

Same, I can’t tilt it up or else it keeps blinking and won’t level
This laser level is garbage. Going to return.
@@DZ-fx1vv you have to have it level. You can't angle it up. Set your tripod on top of a table or a box to get it up higher.

It's junk
Wjy does mine just keep blinking? The line never stays solid
It is not calibrated. Turn it on and set it on a table to see if it will ever calibrate.
Is the Lazer supposed to flash?
The laser flashes while it calibrates. Once it is steady, it should stop flashing. Let me know if that helps.
@@FieldGuidetoDIY works like a charm. Have a sub you glorious bastard.
Thank you sir
You are quite welcome!
Thank you for the review. 😊
Absolutely. I’m so glad it helped.
Is it magnetic? Can i attach it to metal?

Good deal.
Why does my level indicate angles that are level after 4 seconds? Nothing is straight, only me.
I don’t know. I have not experienced that. I know it needs to sit perfectly still to calibrate.
Mine just blinks acywr 5 seconds.
Muchas gracias amigo !!$
De nada.

A joke, I’m bringing mine back if a new battery doesn’t keep it from flashing

I’m here because I hate reading directions lol…. Just show me what to do
I am totally the same way!
Mine blinks...so far absolutely worthless.
Does it EVER stop calibrating?
@FieldGuidetoDIY I figured out you have to level the self leveling level. If it is canted on any axis it will blink until it is brought to a level position. It definitely does not compare to some of the high end lasers I have seen in use on job sites by cabinet guys.
