Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker BDL170 Bullseye Auto-Leveling Laser With AnglePro
Customer Review: Great For Typical Household Projects
Summary: 5 Stars
I've recently purchased a new home and have used this laser level for approximately 1 month. Typical projects included hanging artwork, curtains, etc. As an engineer I can say this is one of the most useful tools I've ever purchased because it easily eliminates a lot the guesswork associated with creating a level line of reference over a long distance.
The self leveling feature is by far the most useful quality about this product. I had to hang two sets of curtains on the same wall. Using 3M Command Adhesive strips I mounted the laser level at the desired height in the space between my window and sliding glass door. I projected the self leveling laser line to the right and I mounted the curtain rod over my sliding glass door. I then pushed the side button on the laser level to project the line to left and proceeded to mount the other curtain rod over a window. Both curtain rods were easily mounted level and at the exact same height - no guess work - no need to use a standard level or tape measure. It really made the job a breeze.
Even on a bright afternoon you can still see the line in a well lit room, however I'd be skeptical that it would work outdoors in a bright environment. The line easily projects over 20 feet which should be fine for almost any interior wall. Corners are a bit of a problem b/c this unit is wall mounted, but moving it is quite easy.
It does have the ability to lock the laser in place (such that it does not auto level) so you can point it in a particular direction / angle. The angle gauge is completely useless. There are stick marks, but it does not have the actual number of degrees labeled. You'll have to use a protractor or just "eye-ball it" if you're doing an angle measurement.
Keep in mind what you're purchasing: this is a general household use level. It's not an adjustable rotary level that a contractor would purchase for a few hundred dollars. I gave it five stars b/c it fulfills (what I consider to be) its intended purpose perfectly.
Bottom line - this will give you a horizontal and vertical level line of reference that will work for nearly all typical household chores such as mounting wall decor, curtains, etc. The $25 you spend is WELL worth the hassle it can save you.
