What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise the tool's simplicity for basic indoor projects like hanging pictures, with many finding the clear laser line and ease of use highly valuable. However, a substantial portion report persistent calibration problems, with the laser frequently not staying truly level or drifting out of alignment after short-term use. Build quality concerns also emerge, including a weak magnetic base, short bubble level, and fragile construction. Despite these durability and accuracy issues, most customers find it worthwhile for straightforward household tasks, though those requiring precision should consider alternatives.

Not worth it

Would Not Recommend

Cheap, flimsy, not accurate are all words that sum this up. Found the laser to be off after mounting two pictures on the wall. Also when I went to move the base I noticed the pin nail was bent after the first use. Absolutely trash and I already threw out the packaging.

Not straight…

Would Not Recommend

Im thinking I bought a defective one because mine doesn’t shine a straight line. We compared the laser line to an actual level and it was off big time. You get what you pay for I guess.

Wall mount build cheaply

Would Not Recommend

First time use...bent pin. Design thought is a good idea but in reality the pin that folds was a contributing factor to using weird leverage trying to place it on the wall. Looked for a replacement part to purchase without luck. Was able to straighten it back with pliers.

Great tool to have in your

Would Recommend

Great tool to have in your back for everyday use around the house (hanging pictures, curtains, putting on tile, anything needed a straight and level line). Laser works great and projects a line a great distance. Wish it has a "crosshair" laser option. Overall great tool and great price.

Works really well hanging pictures and curtain rods. Also it uses standard AA batteries and not those disk type watch style batteries.

It might have been user error but this was hard to use and we had issues keeping it level. We ended up with a different one which had more capabilites. I didnt know levels could be so difficult.

No

Would Not Recommend

This thing is almost useless. It’s flimsy, the little mounting nail and base make it hard to level so it’s mpossible to use for taping off stripes on ceilings or walls. The circle base with degrees marked is awful. It’s all lies that it says it is accurate up 15’ +/-8mm; my stripes went from 9.75” wide to 10.25” wide on a seven foot ceiling no matter what I did. I’ve been painting stripes for decades with an old, angled-based, tape measure-type container leveler, which was amazing, but it d...

Wall mount bracket with broken nail.

Would Not Recommend

I'm sure it's a good product but I went to use it for a second time and the wall mount bracket with the magnetic nail just broke.

A level that isn't level

Would Not Recommend

Poorly designed product.

Would Not Recommend

The entire box is too light. If you place it on the floor it will move as you walk around it. The laser line is very dim and short. The light is not uniform. I regret not spending more money and getting a better product.

Bubbles on level are fairly useless.

Would Not Recommend

The whole purpose of this little guy is to give you a quick guide to a level line. The problem is that the bubbles are to "short" for the indicator lines on the levels. You actually have to eyeball it the best you can to get the bubble in the center of the indicator lines with more than 1/8" spacing on either side when it is level. Even being a little off skews your laser to the point of being more than 1/4" off in 3 feet. I've done PLENTY of leveling on multiple styles and brands of levels ...

Trash

Would Not Recommend

The laser was way off. Once you the level perfect the laser slants down a few degrees not even close to being straight. My kids immediately noticed it when I turned on. Also the 1 nail base isn’t that great.
