This gives me 4-ft of level, and this gives me the whole wall. Unlock it, and the pendulum automatically finds level. If you tilt this laser outside its leveling range, it'll flash and warn you. Once you turn it on, you have a horizontal line. If I press this middle button, it gives me a vertical line, which will tell me when something's plumb. And I can turn each plane on depending on what I'm laying out. And this knob right here lets you make super fine adjustments. And these are super versatile depending on how you want to mount it. You can mount it on a tripod like I have here. You can hang it on a screw or a nail. And there's even magnets on the back for mounting it to your metal corner bead. If you're outside, at longer distances, or in brighter rooms, this target plate can make the line easier to see. If you need a 45° angle, you can put your square on there, line the bottom up with your line, draw a line, or take some tape, mark your 45, put your laser in the on and lock position, and just go ahead and tilt your laser till it meets that 45° angle. My square finds 45, and my laser extends it. Whether you're trying to level something, plumb something, lay out something, whatever the case is, a laser level is extremely helpful. Anyways, I got stuff to do. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
